Need ideas. Thank you.

for the links. I will forward to my friend.

Hi Not sure if I saw this list here but does anyone have a list/schedule combining Story of the World with Sonlight Year 1? My friend has both and wants to be able to incorporate them. Thanks.

Hi Kissy We are using Apologia Chemistry. She did Abeka Biology last year with DVDs and a coop lab. The text is okay but I think she is bored and is going very slow. We started this mid-year because we were wrapping up Biology. Thanks again Actually another question for everyone: I noticed other sciences, do we have to do Chemistry and Physics for her high school credits? Or can we do different sciences: Marine Biology; Astronomy? Does it matter as long as it's three years of science? THANKS again

Has anyone put together a non-textbook style science curriculum for high school? or middle school? If so, please share what you used. I am very interested in doing this with my 7th grader and my 10th grader. We are dragging right now through textbooks. Thank you.

I love all the input. I am looking forward to putting something together. Thanks again.

your suggestions. I was looking into the BF guide. : )

Hi I am interested to know if anyone has put together a science curriculum using real books with science kits for 7th grade. I would love to do something like this now with my 7th grader. We have tried textbooks and are not happy. Please share if you have put something like this together. THANKS

I can print maps out in any size. I believe I saw this posted here. Can anyone help? THANK YOU!

for your input : )

Quick question how important is it ??? How my child holds his pencil when writing. I have realized that he is holding his pencil/crayon resting on his ring finger versus his middle finger as the writing instruction suggests. I have always written on my ring finger. Should I re-instruct him on holding it on his middle finger? He is 5 soon to be 6. Comments/suggestions welcome! : ) THANK YOU!

I was looking for a completely different program. The TTC dvds are only for supplementing? Can they be used as a complete program? THANKS

We have Apologia but it is slow going. Can you please offer some other recommendations for Chemistry that you have used? Is there anything possibly free online or is that pushing it? THANK YOU for all your help.

Would those of you who use Truthquest please breakdown exactly how you use it? Do you read to your children out loud the summaries and then have them do the readings? What do you do after they read? Narrations? How about for high schoolers? THANKS for all your help. It is greatly appreciated.

Do you use the books suggested by Charlotte Mason to teach grammar? If so, how do you plan it out and implement? THANKS

Thank you all! This has been very helpful! :001_smile:

Thank you! Thank you! This really is helpful!

How do you do it? Once the children do their reading then what? I have always wanted to try Charlotte Mason but ....wonder about after the reading.....what about notebooks...how do you set it up?

Thanks Elizabeth. Yes my dh knows before I agreed to this I talked it over with him first. He does feel now if I am stressing so much that I need to change it. So I need to modify. Thanks again for your advice it is very much appreciated.

HI sorry I wasn't clear....it's really for my 7th grader. I have a K, 7th and 10th grader. Thanks

I have agreed to homeschool together with a friend this year two times a week to do 4-5 subjects (grammar, math, geography, science, health). Now this little co-op per se is just for one of my children (7th graders). I am homeschooling three this year (K, 7th, 10th and 1 year old in tow). My friends homeschooling for the first time (7th). We go to her house to do this. The problem so far when we do this I end up not working with my other two that day. I can teach as well but it is difficult to bring our things there. Also I have a baby. I was going to make this work by doing it in the afternoons so I can work with my little guy K in the morning and my 10th grader can get things done as well. But so far afternoons have become difficult. She has suggested she can come to my home no problem but I am homeschooling the three in a two room area so this would add two more people to the mix. Not sure if that would work. I do not mind doing this really I know the boys like it but I am still trying to make it work. Can you help me figure out a workable schedule or ideas? I do feel we are doing too much together as well. I was just thinking of doing science together and health. I don't know...... My little guy is really excited about school and I want to keep him and me on a schedule and of course my 10th grader has a lot of work to do plus the other subjects my 7th grader has. We still haven't incorporated all our subjects together yet I know once that happens it will be more difficult. I do not want to miss out on any days. Help.....

HI Colleen Yes I wanted to know how did you set up your notebook and what did you put in each section. I was re reading it and she does mention it within the text but in writing she mentions putting it in the history notebook. I was getting confused or am I getting too perfectionist about it. THANKS for your help.

Hi Thanks so much for your review. I actually had found some other reviews and had decided not to use it. Thanks again.

Anyone ever used Noeo Science? Would it be too light for 7th grader? I was planning on using Chemistry II. THANKS

Has anyone ever followed the Logic stage English section of the WTM and if so, did you follow exactly as stated? THANKS
