My son read that in his online classical economics class through Memoria Press.

Best lobster roll, frappe, and onion rings ever! And you can watch the P-3s do touch and go's while you eat. The Bowdoin College (in Brunswick) campus is lovely to stroll around. When we were there, the place to go for lobster was out to Cook's Lobster House. It's a pretty drive and yummy food. I love that area in the summertime!

Definitely don't skip it! :)

A 12-pack of soda has been $3.88 lately at the commissary. And the big multi-packs of chips are between $6 and $7.

Homeschool students who want to transfer to a public high school have to start over as a freshman.

Yes, it's different from TL 1 & II, but I think it had some good application in it. It was tough for my son, but I think he learned a good bit. I also like the fact that part of it teaches students how to mark passages and books. There were some interesting case studies, too.

That's the next one after TL II. Link here.

There's some wacky stuff on local commercials here that I'll never get out of my head! :001_smile:

I don't know anything about the instructors or know anyone who has taken them, though, and am still looking at our options.

I know about Scholars Online and Potters School. Are there any others you have had experience with and can recommend? Those are 2 courses I simply cannot teach my rising 11th-grader! Help! Please!

But there are alternatives. We use one of those large Post-It pads (like these)that is on an easel. That way, we can work on IEW anywhere in the house. I can also take off the pages and stick them on the wall if I want to save them. I buy mine at Office Max.

The first three primary books are: 1. Westminster Confession of Faith 2. Pilgrim's Progress 3. Of Plymouth Plantation ~Anne

And that's how I've taught myself. (Actually we're about to add in the Lingua Latina -- haven't officially started it yet.) I did what you mentioned -- used a summer to get ahead of the kids. Veritas Press is also offering Latin-in-a-Week courses this summer, going through the Wheelock's text. The link for more information is here.One of these will be an online course.

Classical Economics, and it's a one semester course. The link to the course this semester is here.

Truly, I think we have the same one! On the windward side?

My kids like the CD-ROMs, but I have to have the book in hand, so I ended up ordering a chemistry text for me to use when I needed to help my son. The CD-ROMs do have some neat videos and illustrations that the text doesn't have.

Because my friend did O-i-a-w last summer, I know that they had opportunities to practice teach in the class and get feedback, and they had a lot of interaction with their teacher (Bruce Etter). That said, I went to teacher training at Veritas the summer before they offered the in-a-week class. I went to every workshop they offered on Omnibus (they don't offer as many any more since they have the in-a-week courses) and bought the MP3's. That was my preparation to teach Omnibus to my children, and I feel it was adequate. But I really wish I'd had the opportunity to do the in-a-week class. I'd imagine that would be even more beneficial for a classroom teacher. (And I think you should go so I can meet you! :-) )

Office Max did a terrible job, though.

And I'm glad to hear about the progress you're making. It's exciting to see changes, isn't it? I almost signed up to go to the ACCS conference (and would really love to go!), but I thought that Latin-in-a-week would be more practical this year. The SCL one looks great, too. So many choices... :)

And it was worth the trip -- even from Hawaii! And I'm going back again this summer for Latin-in-a-week. The online option sounds good, but it would start at 2 am our time here, and, well, that just does not work for me! ;)

He did the Omnibus I-in-a-week, and he liked it so much that he's doing Omnibus II-in-a-week this summer. I'm going for Latin-in-a-week this summer.

This upcoming school year will be their first for science and math, though, so you're not going to find anyone who has had experience with those specific courses. I've got both of my kids signed up for their science next year -- dd in Biology and ds in physics.

The link to her post about this is here.

Black bean soup -- I almost always have the ingredients on hand, and it's quick & easy. My recipe is here. Breakfast for supper is always a hit here -- eggs, bacon, & toast. I try to keep frozen ravioli on hand. It cooks up quick and I can add spaghetti sauce if I have it. I try to keep baggies of browned ground beef in my freezer, and I can make a meat sauce pretty fast out of that and toss it with whole-wheat pasta.

It's not Atkins, but it's a lower carb and higher protein option. Fruits are allowed and encouraged, and whole grains are allowed, too. I love it and have been at goal for more than a year using that plan. You don't count points if you're eating foods on the Core list, and you get 35 extra points a week for whatever you want to use them on -- bread, etc.
