i am not sure if I did the quotes right above; I just wanted to share my thoughts. If I didn't quote properly , my advanced apologies. I am still learning how to use the board. Good Luck.

Hello, i am not a macbook expert, but I don't believe that you can airplay from one mac to another. The sharing option would work if you are trying to airplay to a pair of speakers. For example I can set a pair of speakers in each room and send music to the rooms I desire, but I need an airport to do that or a blue toothconnection. Currently, I can share from my mac to my tv, because I have apple tv that receives the info, say a movie, to play on the screen. The same thing with the ipad. I cannot airplay from my mac to my Ipad. I have to download the itunes info to it and sync it. I don't believe you can sink 2 macs. As far as I know you would have to transfer your itunes library. Unless you are going to connect the macs physically, but I think what you are talking about is the airplay option. HTH

I am not sure, but you might like the following: If you teach kids to write you gotta have this book by marjorie something The Write Stuff by rae--This soundslike the one you might want Story starters by andreola Kids Write ( can' think of the author but it belons to that williamson series of kid books) I can look at the wirte stuff and if you teach kids to write book table of contents, I have to just dig the out. The other 2 I am sure off, I am in the process of trying to decide which one to purchase next. Amazon sometimes will let you take a sneak peak at the table of contents to see if it what you want. :001_smile: Good luck

I used this program with my oldest DS about 6 years ago. My second ds is using it now and loves it. The ladies that work there are wonderful. I am glad that someone opened their heart to you. :001_smile:

You are really organized. I like the character study by bf, I plan to do that over a 2 year span though, possibly 3 . I am going to be using stow and ffl after we are done with Latl blue. I never heard of bilbo plan, looks like fun. I feel ashamed....I need to replan my first grade course outline......The break between my 13 year old and my 5 was too long... :banging:

http://drshormann.com/2012/02/08/differences-in-3rd-and-4th-edition-saxon-algebra-1/ I thought of jumping to the fourth edition , but I read the above blog about what is going on with the saxon curricula and I decided to stay away for fourth Ed. I also found other discussion that pulled me away from fourth. From what I gather it is not homeschool friendly, no dvd guidance and the solution manual is basically just an answer key. The more I talk, the more I am deciding to stay with Saxon and just supplement the hands on activities for the geometry.

Thanks for the link this definitely looks like something he would like. Ds is looking over my shoulder and said Thanks.

Thank you everyone for sharing, it really was helpful. :001_smile:

Off topic: I don't know if your interested but glencoe has a website for their books. On that website they have multiple choice questions, which you could use as a test. HTH

It sounds like your son likes their texts, so I'm not sure why you'd want to change. :) I was trying to avoid for him to do the double geometry since the saxon alg1 and saxon alg 2 course include geometry. Then he would be left with half of advance mathematics to just cover the geometry credit or just complete the whole course to get the half of trig credit. Ds wanted a separate hands on geometry course though, well it made it an issue. I do see what your saying. thanks for the input, I am still thinking....

Currently my ds is doing Saxon prealgebra and like it. I am now trying to decide if we should switch from saxon to chalk dust algebra. He recently told me he really like geometry and he would like to take a geometry course, which made me think of Jacobs geometry. I know Saxon includes geometry but he wants a hands on course for that specific class, he is good at building,just a natural when it comes to th subject. This is what my ds needs in his algebra program which is does not come natural: For it to be broke down in steps Repetition Practice at word problems He can be independent but likes instruction He can learn in units or increments From your experiences with the programs which looks like a better fit. I could really use the advice.

I am still trying decide to use this series because of the same reason what do I do afterwards? I also wish their was an activity guide. I know I am not answering your question... I wish I was more help. I am hoping others post their experience.

Your awesome ! I really like this idea. Thanks for sharing.

I am going in the middle of dividing my boys room up. I am using ceiling hooks, they sell real decorative ones if that is an issue for them. I am then hanging tie curtains, I haven't found them yet. Worse comes to worse I will add ties myself. My boys live int he attic room with slanted ceilings and it makes it difficult, but I know it will work.

It sounds like one to me. I see allergic reactions many times with my youngest ds ( he suffers from an orphan disease). It is not your usual , but it happens sometimes in the form that you described because it starts as an intolerance (So, that is the way the doctors explain it to me) then builds to the allergy. I hope you feel better.

I don't know if your set in writing or if you have an android, iphone, ipad, but there are a few aps that really help. I currently am using the calorie counter. I really like it, I have lost weight with the calorie counter ap. You can search the food on it and it tells you how many calories it has. HTH

I love llatl, it really motivated my ds when he was in 3rd and 4th grade. It bumped him out of the I don't like english class. He like their copwork passages and the way they covered spelling (it is light on the spelling). Most of all he loved the literature and activities that went with it.

Well, that is just plain rude. I am in an interracial marriage. I am 100% spanish (born and raised in the usa) and my husband is caucasian( he can trace his family line all the way back to the mayflower). It is unfortunate, but we have dealt with the same issue when we first married. I love them dearly, but I didn't tolerate it for the sake of my sanity and children. What I have learned over the years is that they find it to be humorous and really didn't think they hurting my feelings. Family can make things complicated

I am still trying to decide on a writing program for the coming year. Does this cover highschool essays as well? I looked it up and states grades 1 to 12 and everyone seems to be using for the younger years though.

I used FIAR with my ds's, (my oldest is now 17). The loved literature based learning when they were younger. I think you will find FIAR a fun resource to use, but I also think you are going to want it more as a supplement. FIAR Introduces the book, where it was written, the author intention and itl will also tell you the setting of the book if it is an real life location. Then it is broke down in secions Science, history, math, so on... under each heading you will find activities. HTH

Can you please share with me a little more information. I am wondering what the writing assignments consist of, are they genral essay prompts to promote writing or are the writing assignments geared toward the book that is being read in the unit. Are all the writing assignments paragraph assignments or essays. thanks.
