I didn't see this when I searched. I'm so glad I didn't sign up for a paid membership yet. https://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/discovery-education-streaming-plus-free-trial/

Ohh - you pick good stuff. What else are you going to get?
I hope ds likes it. I'm not sure if I'm getting anything else.

They say that is a doorbuster prize and only that price until 2pm EST. Hurry if you want it.
ETA: I read the document they gave me at the live event and it says: "Deals good only through Tuesday, December 3rd at Midnight." But you have to attend a live event which ends at 2pm today to get the document with special links. You can enter a live event from Currclick's facebook page. You only have to be in it for a moment to get the document. The download is on the bottom right hand of the live event.
I saw the door busters PDF, but this wasn't on the list. It's still available at the reduced price. :)

So glad I didn't buy this for $35 last night, perfect timing!

oh wow! I was wondering about Math Mammoth....so would you consider that a full on curriculum???
Absolutely. I find that I had to add in extra review(just going back and printing off old lessons or using the review websites worksheets that are included) for my kids, but now Math Mammoth offers extra review books. Before the extra review I added my daughter's end of year evaluation scores were okay. After, I added in more review her scores shot up, so much that the evaluator was like, "is that all you're using"? LOL Your kids may not need extra review though.
I used to use Singapore Challenging Word Problems for extra work in that area, but find Math Mammoth word problems to be just as challenging and thought provoking.

I just listed summer classes under whichever year made the most sense to put it under; to avoid cluttering the transcript unduly, I didn't have a separate space for summer classes.
Yes, it's no problem to fill out later. I did this with Biology. When ds did Apologia Bio, we started the course in November (for a variety of reasons beyond our control), and so he ended up going into the following summer to finish the text. I wanted to supplement the evolution part with a bunch of other resources, but there wasn't time at the end of the summer. So... we added that in during the following winter when we had time. I put everything in the course description and just listed Bio on the transcript for the year in which the majority of the work was done.
Ds also had a summer class, and I listed it under the year that made the most sense, rather than having a separate section for summer classes--just as Gwen suggested above. In your case, you could simply list your health course for the 2012-2013 school year (i.e. the year between the 2 summers) and that would be very accurate.
I typically use the summer before as part of the year following. I do this because I *plan* to graduate my youngest in June, so the summer after that will not go on his transcript. Therefore, the summer before would count for 12th grade, and so on down the line.

Thanks so much. I love this forum!

For cumulative subjects, I give 0.25 credits per year. My transcript is organized with lines for subjects and columns for year; I will have one line for this subject and list the proportion of the credit for each year.
Such courses will have a brief note explaining this, and I explain in the course description (" This is a continuing course spanning all four years of high school. 1.0 cumulative credit/ 0.25 credit per year)
If your format does not easily allow something like this, I would list the course under the year it has been completed.
I do this with any course that starts in one school year and gets finished the next, if less than 0.25 credit has been completed during the first year.
Thanks, this is very helpful.

Why not? It's your school.
I have subjects that are completed cumulatively over the course of all four years of high school.
So did you just do something on the transcript like Health 2012-2014 .5 credit
-
Great point! Thanks for your post.
ETA: So would it be best to put health on the transcript as Summer '12 or Summer "13?
-
Here's the situation. DD did health last summer. She completed the written work I assigned, but due to some unexpected events at the time I didn't assign everything I planned to. Ideally, I would like to add on a couple of books to read and a movie. Can I do this now, or would we have to start all over with health again this summer?

I like Sadlier Vocab Workshop for elementary. I just started using it with my 4th grader because she needs a dedicated vocab program, even though her older siblings didn't. MCT for middle and high school is what we use.

of a class your child is taking? For example, DD is taking a few virtual classes. I know in general, you cannot copy course descriptions but since she's actually enrolled can I use the school's course description?

You might like this states and capitals song on youtube that we LOVE at our house. :) One of those can't get it out of your head kind of songs....(Thank you to Erica from Confessions of a Homeschooler for passing this on)
Love this!

Great thread, OP!:)

Great documentaries can be found at topdocumentaryfilms.com. There are several to do with chemistry that we plan to watch later in the year. Sometimes a doc has been taken off and if that is the case I check You Tube directly, or documentarystorm.com or documentaryheaven.com.
Thanks for this!

And therein lies the problem. Sites with user-generated content can be taken over and blacked out.
Piracy is a problem, but this isn't the right solution.

We use ours nearly everyday and sometimes several times a day. I will probably never "cook" with it but I love it for my green smoothies.:)
Help, having problems getting Kinetic Algebra set up!
in High School and Self-Education Board
Posted
I bought Kinetic Algebra yesterday, but I am so confused about how to set this up. Once I downloaded it It took me directly to the pacing guide. I noticed there was a tab at the bottom for the answers. I thought that was a little odd to have the answers in the student book.
I called customer service because I was confused about when to assign the homework and was told there should be a homework tab at the bottom of the screen. There is no homework tab! The rep said that I was looking at the teacher's guide and I needed to make a student account. I don't see any place to make a student account. I called back and she said that I would have to send in a support ticket, so I did. They emailed me and said that I do have the student book. Obviously this contradicts what the first person said since there are answers included in what I am viewing.
While I'm waiting for their tech support to open for the day, can anyone give me insight? I'm ready to request a refund. This shouldn't be so confusing, ugh!
