  3. Hi, Does anyone have any experience with physics in a co-op? I'm in charge of Physics next school year. Does anyone have any pointers, ideas, websites, you tube videos that you can recommend to make this an interesting class? I was thinking of having small projects throughout the years. For example, something that will last 4 weeks or so. We will of course have lab almost every week. Also, would this be better taught two days a week? We are currently meeting one day a week for chemistry for 1 hour and 45 mins. Thanks in advance for any input.
  4. Congratulations! So adorable! 🙂
  5. Tentative plan is: Math: Finish Jacobs' Algebra / Geometry - not sure what program ELA: Honors English via PA Homeschoolers Science: Honors Biology via Blue Tent History: US History - not sure what program PE: Tricking FLA: ASL Electives: Psychology
  6. I googled homeschool groups in my area. Lots of options popped up. Joined one and there were other families with same aged kids who contacted me to see if I wanted to hang out at a park. I also started a book club that met once a month. At least we tried to meet once a month. I used kits from litwits. Hope you find something!
  7. Yes, definitely keep an eye out on oxygen level as well. Hope she feels better!
  8. Most likely still covid. I had extreme exhaustion as well. Slept from 3:00 pm to 8:00 am the next morning for 4 days. 😅 17 hours!!!! This was before they had testing.
  9. Hi. I wanted to share a rare gem I found this year. Dr. Katya is a very warm, kind, knowledgeable person. I highly recommend her classes! My son loves her teaching method. She is someone who teaches Advanced biology and Art of Problem Solving Math. My son has been taking two classes with Dr. Katya. He is currently in her Advanced Biology and AoPS Geometry. I would gauge that he spends around 5 hours / week on the Advanced Biology course. Perhaps 10? Depends on how many videos there is to watch. The Adv Bio is a college course through edx. Here is a link to her courses with description for 2024-2025. https://docs.google.com/.../1cZ.../edit She is very accommodating, so please feel free to ask her any questions. Her email address is: pani_katya@yahoo.com. As always, please feel free to ask if you have any questions! Thanks!
  10. When you guys say AIM, are you guys saying Debra Bell's AIM Academy? Thanks for any input.
  11. Probably just a glitch in the system regentrude. Sorry for the inconvenience!
  12. Great! Thank you! ah, yes. That makes sense that he is taking it at his school. Not sure what I was thinking. It was one of those moments when I was doing something and in the back of my mind I thought wait a minute someone is taking forensic science in 9th grade! the only thing I could find was the course in the Potter’s school. thanks so much!
  13. Wendy - where did your son take forensic science? One of my daughters is interested in that course. Thanks.
  14. It is ridiculous. I hope you feel better!
  15. I agree with this. I know it would be a lot more work for you. But this was my first thought as well.
  16. Yep. AoPS's intro to algebra is Algera 1 and 2 together.
  17. Hi, Does anyone have any experience with the Honors biology course or chemistry course at the Potter's School? Really, I'm most interested in the honors biology course. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
  18. One of my daughter’s had Mr. Marchand for other classes and she recommends him. Very nice teacher!
  19. My son took discovery of deduction or something like that. Peter belfry is a great teacher. One of my daughter’s is currently in the art of argument. can’t really say if they have benefited from the classes because it’s too early to tell. I wasn’t really involved in these classes either, but my husband said that he is glad our son took it and our daughter is taking it. Ash White is also a good teacher. hope this helps.
  20. not much masking over here either. I make my kids mask if they are very congested - just in case since I don't want to test if we have covid.
  21. Oh sorry OP! Good to know. I didn’t read them, my son did. 😃 Thanks for pointing that out Laura.
