I have been every year for the last 4 years, but not sure if I am going yet this year. If I do, it will be on Saturday to the vendor hall only.

~Anna~ replied to skimomma's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
May I ask what you changed to? Thanks! -
what does 9th grade logic look like
~Anna~ replied to workingmom's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I got only the Teacher's Edition since we are doing it together and mostly orally. I think there are some answers filled in, but I will just cover them or not let DD see those parts. -
what does 9th grade logic look like
~Anna~ replied to workingmom's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
There are sample schedules at classicalacademicpress.com. We are going to do Art of Argument for 9th this year. It will be a half credit, but we will stretch it out over the entire year. We will probably do it once or twice a week, depending on how many days we are schooling that week, for 30-45 minutes each day. -
Rod and Staff Grammar: Skipping Book 7?
~Anna~ replied to Penguin's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
There is more depth in the 7th grade book for certain topics, but I would say you would be fine to skip it. Just make sure you thoroughly cover the 8th grade book grammar. -
Forensic Science curriculum?
~Anna~ replied to Kim C's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
This book looks pretty good. I don't have it, but it got pretty good reviews. -
Have you seen The American Odyssey? It is what we will be using in 10th when we get there.

Experience with not sounding out words?
~Anna~ replied to Yolanda's topic in General Education Discussion Board
My DD has made progress at sounding out words (and not just guessing or making something up) using the REWARDS program, followed by all 8 Megawords books. -
I have this bookmarked, but haven't really looked through it, so not sure if it is at the level you want: https://bookofbadarguments.com/?view=flipbook I also have these two books, but again, I haven't really looked through them. Just throwing them out in case they help. http://www.amazon.com/Harry-Stottlemeiers-Discovery-Matthew-Lipman/dp/0916834069 http://www.amazon.com/Logic-Rescue-Kris-Langman-ebook/dp/B001QTXLQ4/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1405605788&sr=1-1&keywords=Logic+to+the+rescue

Dictionary and Thesaurus Recommendations
~Anna~ replied to SFossum's topic in General Education Discussion Board
It does have synonyms for some entries, but no it is not really a thesaurus. I still really like it though. I had looked at a lot of dictionaries and actually considered the other one recommended above, but chose to go with this one. HTH! -
does this history program exist?
~Anna~ replied to HollyDay's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
We are going to be using these books from K12: World History: Our Human Story and The American Odyssey I got the World History used for about $9 (still in decent shape) and the American one for $16 but it looks brand new. -
Dictionary and Thesaurus Recommendations
~Anna~ replied to SFossum's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We love this dictionary: http://www.amazon.com/Websters-New-World-Students-Dictionary/dp/0028613198 And this is our thesaurus: http://www.christianbook.com/websters-new-world-rogets-z-thesaurus/9780028631226/pd/631226 The thesaurus has been fine, but I really like that dictionary! -
We are going to be using K12 American Odyssey for American History, but probably not until 10th. My rising 9th grader will be starting Medieval with a combo of K12 books (Human Odyssey and Our Human Story) for 9th. If you want to do Early Modern or Modern for 9th, I would use K12 Human Odyssey volumes 2 & 3 or parts of Our Human Story. Or just go straight into American History for 9th if you want (again, I like K12 American Odyssey).
