This will be our third year using it - love it!

You are supposed to do warm up, fact sheet, and problems each day. We either did warm up OR fact sheet - not both. It's just too much for one day. I taught the lesson, my daughter worked on the warm up (or fact sheet) and then the mixed problems independently, and then I checked her answers and we went over incorrect problems. We only did practice set problems (the handful of problems right after the lesson) if I thought she needed extra after teaching her the lesson. If so, we did those together.

Thank you!

I'm used to the separate book with worksheets/factsheets for Saxon in the lower grades. No for Algebra 1? My dd would be loving this...

Thanks all for your help. I gave her test 4 today and she missed 2 problems. So that is a 90%. I'm going to give her the next test test and see where she falls. We will be skipping at least the first 20 lessons of 7/6. I looked at AoPS. I'm not sure she is ready for pre-Algebra. I could be totally underestimating her though...

My 11 year old 6th grader has always breezed through math. I feel like we should have skipped a grade in the lower levels, but I never did because I was afraid she would "miss" some important concept. We use Saxon, and she just finished up 6/5 with almost a perfect score on all the tests (she got all 95 & 100, except for one 85 on an off-day). She hardly missed anything on her daily homework (a big contrast to my 7th grader!!) I'm thinking about just testing her through 7/6 until she stops getting A's on the tests and start at that point. Is this what I should do?

I had to help my daughter quite a bit.

I'm considering his French class in the fall. He has also offered to tutor my daughter this summer. I was just wondering what his personality is like with kids? My daughter is a little shy around men and thought I'd ask here about how he is personality-wise. Thanks!

We used WWS1 in 6th grade and the first half of 7th grade on a relaxed schedule. It's a really good program. My daughter is a MUCH better writer. That said, I'm not using WWS2. We are switching to IEW.

Thank you both! I was confused as to why some subjects and not others - makes sense now.

Thanks. How come it counts for math and foreign language and not history? Story of the World is just a supplement for us as my daughter likes to read it along with our main text. I definitely wouldn't consider it for adding to the credit hours.

How many hours a week do we need to spend on history for a high school credit? My daughter is in 8th grade and will be reading a chapter in Biblioplan, the related chapters in Story of the World, will complete an advanced level (high school) map, answer advanced (high school) chapter questions, and take a test each week. Do we need to add more? Thanks!

Here are my online choices: My daughter (age 11, going into 6th grade) has completed the first 5 chapters of So You Really Want to Learn French. So, she's not new to it, but definitely not ready for the big leagues. Currclick - $180 per semester; slow-pace, large class size, good reviews The Potter's School - $430 for a full year, .5 credit (does she need this and will she use it on a transcript for 6th grade??) The Classical Learning Resource Center - $150 per semester, small class size Any other choices out there? Any reviews good or bad on the above? Thanks!

Would Lone Pine or Lukeion Latin 1 be considered a high school credit?

We use Biblioplan with SOTW.

Lord willing, we are going to start Analytical Grammar and IEW.

I don't have any suggestions as we usually just read SOTW along with Biblioplan and do "reading" not related to history. I just wanted yo stop in and say that I love Biblioplan!!

Well, I'll definitely be buying Getting Started With Latin. Thank you all so much. Is Lone Pine a lot of work? I really don't want her to have to spend anymore than 30 minutes per day (i'd like less) on Latin homework, not including the class. I don't think she could handle it as science, math, history and writing take up several hours.

I talked to one of the ladies from the company, and she told me to start with SIW-B because my daughter has no previous experience with IEW format (she did WWS). She linked me to a page to "ramp" it up for her if needed.

:lurk5:

Math - Saxon 7/6 English - Analytical Grammar, Caesar's English Writing - IEW Vocabulary - Sadlier Oxford Vocab. Science - BJU 6 History - Biblioplan Modern History Foreign Language - French (Potter's School or Currclick) Logic - Fallacy Detective Piano lesson, violin lessons Art ?

We used WWS in 7th grade, and we are going to use IEW for 8th grade - I've heard so many good things about the program.

She has had no previous experience with Latin. She's 13 and will be in 8th grade this fall. She's an A student. What online classes would you recommend? I am NOT teaching Latin. Veritas Press? Classical Resource Center? Potter's School? Something else? Any positive or negative experiences welcome. Thank you so much!

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all your comments!

We did Rod & Staff for 4th and 6th grades. Bob Jones is supposed to be pretty advanced, but I think Rod & Staff is moreso. I'll have to check out Analytical Grammar and Stewart English. Thanks.
