Awsome! Thanks Arcadia, that's what I was looking for. And thanks for the help Taryn. I did appreciate it, just wanted to let people know that there was a larger list out there somewhere and that I was still looking for it. Now i got to print that list before it disapears in k12's convoluted website. Thanks everyone!

We use Lively Latin. It has online video lessons so you can learn along with your child (or just let them learn on their own and check their work), tons of practice and complete answer manual. It might seem a bit geared towards younger children but it has hundreds of pages of practice in each level and when my daughter is stuck I just tell her to watch videos backwards until she finds the one that explains where she lost a concept. They have some samples on their web page.

Yeah, those are the required. Then there are choices you can make from a list and you have to find those books yourself from store or library.

My daughter doesn't love WWS so I work slowly on it. I work at a library and stumbled across Teaching writing: Structure and Style. It's expensive but I was lucky that my library had it and they have smaller packages that cost a bit less. But having used the course on my daughter I have to say that it is worth the price. It comes with DVDs to show yourself on how to teach. Or you could possibly get by with just the student intensives where the teacher teaches the children in workshops.
My daughter loves it. The teacher is goofy enough to keeps kid entertained and he presents his writing style in steps that are easy for the kids to implement. The course has reinvigorated my daughter’s writing and I no longer have to ask over and over on essay questions in other subjects for her to write more than once sentence. The method he teaches can be used for reports or creative writing and if you use the teaching version you can implement it for curriculum for various ages. It can be used as a nice breather when you need a break from WWS or other writing programs.

We're currently taking k12 literature for 6th grade. My daughter wants to read all the books, not just the 4 she's required to. Does anyone have the 7th grade reading list so she doesn't read any duplicates if they're required next year?

Anyone know if the K12 math student and teacher book can be used alone without the online course? I love K12 history and art but I’m not sure if I want to spend that much money on a math course if all the info is in the books, which I can buy for $15 total. We were thinking of using grade 4 or 5 if that matters.
Thanks for any input!

Mango and Byki both have a foreign language app on android and iphone. If your local library subscribes to their service (the King County Library in Washington does) then they are free or you can subscribe to them yourself. Byki has Latin, but I like the mango style better, which we use for Japanese.

Don't know where you live but King County Library in Washington State pays for online tutoring for their patrons. You might try calling your local library even if it is not KCLS and see if they offer something similar.

I started my daughter on the 3rd grade Wordly Wise book when she was in 2nd grade and she did fine. She was also an advanced reader. Just give it a whirl and see how it goes. If it's too difficult, shelve it for a few months and try again. Wordly Wise also has younger books now so you could try the 2nd grade book.

I had the same retention problem with my daughter with Singapore Math. We would study one subject such a measurements for a few weeks early in the year but then when it came time for testing she forgot it. The same with basic arithmetic when we studied measurements. So I supplement my math with the Horizon math workbooks. The pages have a little bit of a few things every day, which helps keep those skills honed. They are also in full color with pictures which helps keep her somewhat entertained compared to other math drill workbooks. Here’s a link to samples if you want to take a look.

I think the instructor of LivelyLatin is Catherine Drown.
