  1. We are big fans of American Heritage Girls, they have an independant program called Trailblazers.
  2. :D Isaiah will be in level 4, Elijah level 3. See you soon!
  3. Oooh, I'm Tn too and am missing it today due to helping a friend out (babysitting) who happens to be running the American Heritage Girls booth, if either of you go, please check it out! Mandie PS, we'll be doing Miss Jackies class in East Ridge this coming year.
  4. Abeka had them a few years ago, not sure if they still do.
  5. We are considering moving to Ohio, probably the Mansfield/Ashland area. We are comiing from Chattanooga Tn which has a wonderful homeschool community, www.csthea.org to give you a sample, I would like to know what my options are in this area. I've searched on google and seems that most communities are either north or south of this area. Any info is appreicated.
  6. That's exactly why I asked. I too am confused ;) We've only used SWR for a year maybe that's why it's not sticking and because he is young. I really like it and want to continue to use it. Thanks ladies for your insight.
  7. A little back story, ds, likes to play pc games but has trouble spelling passwords, game names etc... We use SWR. This is our first year using it. I believe it has done a great job of helping my dc to read, but it's not done very much in the spelling department. Should I keep chugging along with SWR and hope that spelling will finally click for him? Or should I use something else for spelling.
  8. I've only done two year so far so I can not comment on which is my favorite. Bumping because I am interested too. :)
  9. Really? LFC covers grammar that well? Wow! I need to investigate this further. Thanks.
  10. Thank you! That is exactly what I needed to know. How long would you say the lessons take each day? I have used FFL 1-3 and love that the lessons are short and sweet. I am considering switching to Shurley for a couple of reasons. 1). We are joining a co-op that uses Latin for Children, which incorporates some Shurley. 2) I thought that FFL would expand into Advanced Language Lessons, but alas that is not to be. I want to use something that will be long term as I will have a 3rd and 4th grader next year.
  11. What is the difference between the two? I've tried searching the forums with no luck. TIA
  12. If you are on a budget and you already have all other subjects covered, I don't think I would spend $300+ just for a history program which is what you will pay for MFW, HOD, Sonlight etc. If you have a decent library I'd recommend Truthquest Am History I, II and III spread out over two years. If you do not have a good library, buy used. Just a FYI as a general rule literature based curriculum is more expensive than textbooks. Like others mentioned try buying used either online or homeschool bookfairs/used bookstore. HTH
  13. We live in the county and I wish we had a "no parking overnight" ordinance. It's such a pain to drive down my road, there are at least 20 cars parked on either side. We have to drive down the middle of the road and pull over to let other cars by. Roads are for driving on not parking on.
  14. We are using My Father's World Exploration to 1850. MFW weaves the bible beautifully into their curriculum Especially in Creation to Greeks and Rome to Reformation. This year MFW has us memorizing the entire book of James (at least that's the goal ;)) I also plan on using Sonlight books from core D instead of book basket books (book basket is used in MFW, it's basically a weekly list of books that correspond with that weeks lesson)
