I know that at 10th grade the scores do not count. However, I would like to have my DD prepare a bit for the test. I know I should have thought about this earlier. I do have the Chalk Dust SAT prep cds. Should I have her go through any of these? Is there an online place to have her prepare a bit? I know it won't really help too much at this late time but perhaps a small amount. Or is it best not to prep at all? She won't have too much time to prepare anyway with having her regular studies to complete.

So sorry. Hope you can figure out how to stay far away from her.:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

Hi, I was wondering if someone could recommend where to start in this program. My 6 yo ds almost 7 in Nov. is now reading the beginning Magic Treehouse books with me sitting by him to help with an unknown word. He just took off on this. He is breezing through ETC book 1. Where would you recommend I start with LLATL? I really appreciate your input. Life is crazy trying to get my 15 yo dc homeschooling. Now I gotta get the others going. Thanks!

I will keep you and your family in my prayers for God's peace and healing. No real suggestions although I would say you have received some good ones. Keep posting here if you would like. I know when I was going through treatment the terrific women on this site and many of their family and friends surrounded me in prayers. I am forever grateful. Trust in Jesus.

Well I don't think we can do both apologia books in one year. Not sure. It would be okay to do the advanced chem in another year right. New question: will doing apologia chemistry cover about the same material as high school chemistry. Thank you.

We are planning to embark on apologia chemistry with another family. Will this be adequate for preparing a STEM student for college? Suggestions? Would adding the DIVE cd be helpful?

Hello, Thank you so much for your replies. Our dog is okay. The vet said to give the benedryl. I think she had a couple stings. She is reluctant to go outside now. We are still finding wasps in the house. shanvan so glad your puppy is okay. Thanks

So glad that you have received good news. :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

We called and have been waiting for them to call back.

She is medium sized shaggy fur. She had several in her fur and there are now a few storming around the house that followed her in when she ran in the house. Any idea what we should do for her? What should we watch for? She seems okay at the moment. She ate a few of them.

I'm making progress. So far the plan is: Geometry, right now we have Chalk Dust but I am hesitating about it due to the price. Wondering how Saxon would be. English 10 from Seton. Enrolled. Spanish Now I from Seton. Enrolled. Possibly with a tutor. Biology. Using Holt book and materials combined with Science Sheperd labs as they have more dissection and hands on for my STEM kid. Chemistry. Apologia with labs done with another Mom and her child. I wouldn't really want to combine two sciences but this is a good opportunity to do the labs with another experienced and excellent homeschooling Mom. So, what do you think? I might want to add some history but I am not sure if this will be too much. She also is studying piano. Thanks.

My dd just figured out that children are not allowed to ask questions on their accounts. She doesn't want me to ask the question for her.

My dd is wanting to ask a question regarding a video. She can't figure it out and I am not very helpful either. Anyone know how? Thanks.

Could you tell me if your son used the traditional or the new? This text is by Larson and is titled Elementary Geometry for College Students. I am wondering if the new text goes with the DVDs better than the traditional.

I just received this today. I don't really remember anything about geometry but was surprised that there were only 10 chapters. Also, I was surprised with the multiple page list of typos. Is this program going to be prepare my dc for the SAT? What is the difference betwen the new and the traditional? I am wondering if I should return this and purchase a used traditional? Except I feel I need it now. So, any input on my purchase? I might be having buyers remorse even though I haven't even unwrapped the first disc. Can I open the book and still be able to return if that is what I decide? It didn't say, just mentioned not to open the other discs. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for their time and input! Tomorrow is the first day of school here at the public schools. I am feeling overwhelmed a bit but it will be okay. Also, tomorrow I start driving to catch a free flight to Houston for medical follow up but that is a different story! Aaahhh. So, we won't really be starting but the kids will be working on what we have available so far. Thanks for the links and ideas. I loved looking at the Khan site. Fabulous! Still lots to think about. So much money for the Chalkdust!! Woah. I saw a post about how to get it cheaper. Not sure I understand that. Is the standalone Saxon geometry good for a STEM student? What other ones. My dh says he can teach her this but I think it would be nice to have CDs or something where she doesn't have to wait for her Dad. No, we don't have a CC here but we do have a 4 year college. I also thought about seeing if my dc could take Spanish online through the high school. Will wait to see about that. Anymore suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

What is OSU?

Anyone have experience with this course? Can you explain your experience with this course? I am wondering how labor intensive for both parent and student. Thanks you. Christine

Thanks Carol. She did saxon 8/7 and then did Alg. 1 at the ps. In years past we did MUS. What geometry would you recommend? My understanding is that Saxon Alg 1 and 2 had geometry in it. I know colleges like to see a stand alone geometry. Then I noticed Saxon also has its own Geometry. I did not know SWB had the history books you mentioned. thank you for the advice to take photos of labs. We want a stong science with hands on labs. We want her to be taught both evolution and creation.

Hello. We have hs'd our dd who is entering 10th grade for most of her education. She did 9th at the local ps. We have just recently decided to hs for 10th grade. I am feeling overwhelmed and wondering if this is a mistake. I have been scouring the boards for information on all the possible curriculums. My daughter is interested in becoming a RN, specifically a NICU nurse. She had all A's at the ps. This is what I have figured out so far: Geometry: TT or Saxon or something else Biology: I've looked at Shepard, Apologia with the DIVE cd (although to me these seem boring) We would also be interested in a secular program. We want something solid that can be done independently for the most part. English/American Lit: I thought of registering her in a class elsewhere. I am looking at Seton. Also, finishing the AG we bought but never used. Also, thinking that if she wants to go back to ps they can accept this grade as if she was a transferring student. I feel she would benefit from having someone else grade her papers. History: ?? I am drawing a blank here. At the ps she was set up to take American History. Foreign Language: She has completed in the past Prima Latina, LfC books A and B or most of it. She has been exposed to spanish as a kid and took a year of it at the ps but it wasn't very indepth. So either further study of Latin or Spanish or perhaps both. Recommendations? How much foreign language is typically needed to get into college? She studies paino. Could this be considered a credit? Could she have multiple years of piano as a credit if she continues to hs? Ahhh...as I sit her thinking about all of this it seems so overwhelming. Maybe I should just send her to the ps but everyone wants to be together. Anyone have any input on the curriculum? Other input? Be kind. My dh thinks I am just overwhelmed about the decision making and once we have curriculum I will be fine.

My kids. Life is too short to not spend time together as a family.

Congrats on your new baby to love! I hope you are feeling better soon. No advice, just sending :grouphug:.

You are so helpful.

Per someone else's recommendation. I thought perhaps this was a little gross but tried it anyway. It worked and I haven't had any strong odors and have worn them several times without problems.
