Thank you for the reference! While looking at the Henle material, I ran across Excelability in Advanced Latin: A Workbook for Students on Memoria Press's Website. Between Henle's grammar text and this workbook, we might have found just what she needs.

My eldest daughter, 9th grade, is taking an amazing Latin III course through an online provider. I am looking at resources to help her as this class is also very demanding. She can translate much of her work but doesn't fully understand the constructions. Does anyone have ideas? Wheelock was covered in Latin I and II during middle school so everything Wheelock covers is assumed knowledge. Perhaps she just needs to review? The professor would like the students to explain the syntactic rationale behind the words and not just parsing. Knowing a word is accusative isn't enough; they need to know it is "accusative of respect depending on x."

We are entering 9th with our oldest this school year too! It is great to see what other families are doing for freshman classes. My dd loves languages so she is heavy in that department. I'd love opinions on US history - should we split it into US History I and II over 2 years? She's already taken HS world history. I worry she has no time for an in-depth study of primary documents. Science: AP Chemistry Math: Precalculus with trigonometry Language Arts: American Literature; contemplated Rhetoric I or II with WTM online classes but I don't think she'd have the time History/SS: United States History Language: Classical Greek II (Second half of Hansen and Quinn's Intensive Greek Course); Latin III (Not sure what this will look like; she finished Wheelock's Latin this year); Old English (using Word Hoard and A Guide to Old English); I said NO to French I this year PE: 180 hours but does include this summer Activities: violin in the local youth symphony and private lessons

I live just east of Mount Vernon, so I can tell you a bit about the area. I have only lived here for a few years, so I don't know all the resources just yet myself. First, the Skagit area schools aren't the best in the state (20-40th percentile) but as a homeschooling mom it shouldn't matter too much. There are a few private ($$$) schools that seem to have a good reputation. One is in Mount Vernon and the other is an Adventist I think, located in Burlington. Soccer is pretty big for us as a family. Mount Vernon has a youth program, as does Sedro Woolley. There is Northwest United Soccer club if you'd like to play for really competitive teams. There is 1 big gym called Riverside in MV that has kids activities, a pool and swim lessons (I go there) and there is also a YMCA. You'll find gymnastics, dance, and karate as well in the area but be prepared to pay as it is expensive. We also play softball and baseball (there are leagues all over) and basketball too. We aren't in to football (ds is too young) or wrestling but there are leagues available. I think there are lessons for piano and violin. A full list is usually posted at the music store in Burlington called Hugo Helmer. These are usually offered by locals through their home. Housing...hmm that may be a little tougher. I'd expect an acre with a 2500+ sqft house to run you 300,000 to 400,000. It's all location. It could be more or less. It's been 3 years since we purchased our house so I don't know the market anymore. Two really helpful resources for Washington residents: Meridian Parent Partnership Program in Bellingham - will pay for hs materials up to $1000 per student and offers classes for p/t students. We are enrolled. The other is Running Start, which is a community college access program that high school students can use to get their Associates for the cost of lab fees and books, no tuition. If you like hiking, skiing, fishing, etc there are tons of activities and the bay is close to MV. Skagit has a ton of fresh produce in the summer and a food co-op. I don't know about culture differences as I've grown up in the Pacific NW but you'll probably notice a few. Can't think of too much else at the moment. Hope your move goes well if you relocate!

I am a new homeschooling mom and I am trying to find good resources for memory work for my 4th grader and 2nd grader. I need to find something that will dovetail well with TWTM curriculum and isn't too hard to use (I also have a 7 month old and 24 month old that keep our days interesting). Does anyone have recommendations outside of the poetry/definitions in FLL and WWE? Thanks!
