We always seem to be right behind things. Both my kids will be out of the grammar stage after this year. I look forward to seeing Volume II. I'm sure we'll still need help with writing then. :p

I found mine here. They have tons and they're all free.
EDITED: It was too big, so I had to resize it. I uploaded it to my photobucket account, then, under edit, sized it to "avatar".

One thing to consider if whether you care about the Creationist viewpoint of science or not. Apologia is definitely in the "young earth" camp. Since I am, too, I prefer Jeannie Fulbright's books. We have Usborne, too, but for our science text, I prefer one written from that standpoint.
We did Astronomy last year and my son still pulls it off the shelf and reads it, more than he does our other space and astronomy books.

It would be a good way to look at it and see if you are interested enough to look for a used copy.

I'm actually reading that to my kids right now. The full title is Ties That Bind, Ties That Break by Namioka and it's a great book.
Thanks, Angie.

Yep, we didn't use EHE either. We also added books from the library. If you could find it, I would highly recommend the book "Ties That Bind" when you're studying China. There is a follow-up book to that one, but I don't remember the name.
Do you know the author for that book? I'm finding quite a few with that title.

Tami has used this with her 5th grade DD this year. You should check out her blog to see everything she's done. Very neat!

We've had this happen to a car. In our case, it was the fuel pump, but it could be other things. (as you can see by the other ideas posted)
-
Never mind. I see this was discussed in another post.
(but I think this is post 11, so I'm no longer "Just Visiting" :) )
-
What determines that?
-
Just curious...

I don't know if mine qualifies as "pretty", but I got it from Microsoft Office ClipArt. Here's a link.

I don't think your picture can show up in your signature. It's only in your avatar. You can have a profile picture, but that's only if someone looks at your profile.

Thank you!
The new board is great. We really appreciate it.
-
CLE Language for grammar and spelling. IEW for writing.
-
I'm wrong. It is working. Yea!
-
Thanks, Tammy.
Now testing avatar, which I don't think is working.
-
Is it showing up?
-
I want to play with my signature and avatar and see this is the place to be! :p
I'm familiar with this board format from other message boards I visit, so I'm very happy with the change.
Question for those who use Junior Analytical Grammar...
in K-8 Curriculum Board
Posted
What grade(s) are you using it with? I know they say it can be used up to 5th grade. I'm trying to follow the Charlotte Mason method in our homeschooling and grammar is my biggest hang-up. I noticed that Simply Charlotte Mason recommends JAG spread over two years - 5th and 6th (going into 7th if needed). Do you think this is reasonable? (SCM has Analytical Grammar starting in 8th grade.)
I'm trying to streamline our schedule for next year and I like the idea of less time spent on grammar. We really, really need to work on writing. I'll have a 5th and 6th grader.
(I've thought of just taking our current grammar - CLE - at a slower pace, but I am very much a completionist and it really bugs me not to finish something in the course of the year.)
