Thanks for all the Info. This is one area of sciene that I did not think about. My dd has gone through all of the Apologia books and we were trying to figure something out for next year. It will be her senior year. I think that this will fit the bill quite nicely along with marine biology.

Just out of curiosity what were you considering using for a high school level enviormental science? That sounds like an intresting course that my dd would like.

I have read through the WRTR and just always feel like I am missing something. I really just want the spelling portions of Phonics Road.

Another plug for Art Reed! We have used his video's from Alg 2 and now advanced math. Each video is about 10 minutes. Really not that long. He uses problems that are not in the math book, love that! He also gives the kids tips sometimes on how to do things better. I remember one lesson he said you will not learn this until lesson X but it is just easier to do it all now and taught the kids. After my dd did the lesson she agreed.
We have also emailed him on several occasions. He called my dd and spoke with her on the phone one time when she was not understanding something!

The operator that I spoke with yesterday said at first that I would have to get the access code from the guidance counselor. When I explained to him that my son is homeschooled and I am the guidance counselor, he provided me with the access code.
This is exactly what I did. I explained that we homeschooled. She then went to tell me that we would just have to wait until we get it in the mail then. That I should place my dd in a school in order to get her results faster. Then I was not so nice at that point........ so I am sure that affected my outcome but it was not going anywhere at that point.
I don't know why the College Board has to make this process so difficult!I agree!!! I don't know why in such a digital age that we have to wait for snail mail to access these things. When I signed up my dd on the college board website. It states that her scores were in and knew exactly who she was, but that she needed the access code to obtain them now or wait until Jan 15. I don't get it if you know and verified who we are just give them to us.

Just called again and NO go. They will not give you the code over the phone. They say that no one can get it at all over the phone and that one needs to wait until the tests are mailed out or talk with the students guidance counselor.
Those that are able to get the access code by phone can you post the number that you are calling because maybe that makes a difference.

trying again wish me luck!

I just called and they would not give me her access code. I was told they did not have access to it. And the lady was very rude at that.
I was told that they are in the process of mailing the scores that that we may not even get them until the beginning of Jan.

have you looked into celiacs disease or a wheat/gluten allergy. Your symptoms sound similar to what I was experiencing a year ago. I went on a strict allergy elimination diet, and found several food allergies. I cut out the offending foods and have been great ever since. No more reflux issues etc.
Your more than welcome to PM for more information.

Thanks. Do you need to use the B12 when you use the pellets or drops? My dr did not have me use that when I did the prescription.

I did one round with a prescription from my doctor. I would like to do another round but was thinking of just doing it on my own. To save some $ and the cost of the doctor.
I looked online and saw so many places to purchase the drops etc. Some obviously looked like a scam. I was not sure.
Where are you getting the HCG from online? I would love a good reputable source.
Thanks,

I am fine without the tests. I was more asking because the words are so easy for my dd. I was thinking a test would maybe place her higher. I know that she is learning. We are going through a step in a day or two. We are in level 3 at the moment. Just thinking of ways to make it harder or more challenging for her. :glare::glare:

My eldest had it at just under a year. She is 14 now and still loves it. Probably, due to the fact that I craved it constantly when I was pregnant with her and ate it at least twice a week the whole time!
My other dd had it later but that was because she had a hard time chewing solid foods. She really did not eat any "real" food that was not mashed until 15 months. I am sure that it followed sometime soon. This child will not touch rolls, only straight raw fish! She does not even like her fish cooked! LOL.

now onto look at how to teach spelling and some other programs. Or to make AAS work and add in harder words. :)
Lynda

humm...I get that. We are starting level 3 right now. I just would like some sort of test. May need to combine some elements. :)
Do you know if the words get harder in the later levels. We are flying through the lists. I am not sure if my dd is getting the rules or remembering words from her reading. :)

I tried searching the forms but could not find the answer to this one. Does AAS at some point in the program give the kids a diagnostic tests for grade level.
I know that Spelling Power has the kids take a test at the beginning of the year to determine where to start in the book but this also give you and idea of grade level placement. Each year when the child takes the test you can measure growth.
I know that Phonics road does something similar starting in level 3 I believe. I also believe that WRTR does something like this as well.

I suggest getting a copy of the blood tests and do some research online about thyroid levels. I went to one dr. he said they were normal, I went to another and they said they were borderline. Put me on an allergy elimination diet...and within a months time I felt better. Had all the above symptoms that you listed. Now 5 months later my thyroid levels are completely normal and I am back to normal as well. I am allergic to wheat.

Thank you! I am just about to start creating a course and this is perfect!
I am using the hmh world geography text as a spine. I actually came here for modern literature ideas and found this!
Here are some books that I was going to use.
Journey to the Center of the Earth -- to start.
Longitude: The Story of a Lone Genius Who Solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time
Full Tilt: Ireland to India with a Bicycle by Dervia Murphy
I was thinking of ending with something fun like -- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
