It's February! Plans for your AL?
Loesje22000 replied to SeaConquest's topic in Accelerated Learner Board
MP Poetry seems a good idea! And normally they will put him at 'age' so grade 3 / groep 5 if he will be enrolled for summer vacation. After the 'summer' it would be grade 4 / groep 6. -
We will be with one leg in grade 9 next year, and as we live in Belgium our 'look' looks different. To keep it comparable I just mention the subjects you named with our options. English: The Elegant Essay, Windows to the World, Introduction to Poetry Math: Art of Problem Solving Science: BJU Physical Science with IGCSE Chemistry Geography&History: BJU Foreign Language: French, German, Latin, Greek Arts: Annotated Arch, History of Rock Music, attending academy of Fine Arts, Folksdance I don't know the titels you mention.

Afterschooling overseas - for now
Loesje22000 replied to SarahW's topic in Parents' Forum Afterschooling Board
Memoria Press is available through Amazon.com and www.bookdepository.co.uk MCT is difficult to get here, so is LL, something like Beast Academy can become expensive. Conquest books UK and Ichtus Resources UK have several homeschool items. -

Loesje22000 replied to SarahW's topic in Parents' Forum Afterschooling Board
You can buy pretty save at www.bookdepository.co.uk and www.alibris.co.uk. Www.amazon.de has free shipping, www.amazon.fr has some shippin like a few eurocents. Your dc wil get history, geography, nature and technical education during grade 4-5-6. It will learn English from grade 5 ;) You can take a look here for history: http://entoen.nu/en and here for Topography: Www.toporopa.eu Let him watch 'Klokhuis' and 'Jeugdjournaal' a lot, if he wants to start already let him watch Dutch school tv. Www.schooltv.nl Bookprices are fixed in the Netherlands, and therefore expensive. So English reading books are cheaper then Dutch Ones. If you would avoid expensive shippings take your curriculum from small publishers with you. These got high custom charges above the price AND the shippings. -

History Sequence
Loesje22000 replied to Woodland Mist Academy's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
We did in grade 4-5-6 one 'round' of history, mostly Dutch history. I think grade 7-8-9 will be another round using American textbooks. Grade 10-11-12 will be focused on the exit exam program using: IB 20th Century World History An Epic History of Congo Belgium, a history without Country In Europe Maybe adding some British history, and some history around persons of interest, focus will be 19th/20th century. We will cover the history of the Dutch Indies through literature. History is 'just' 2h per week, Geography is another 2h per week, Grade 7/8 = Belgian Geography Grade 9/10 = World Geography Grade 11/12 = Earth and Space Science We have no transcripts, and our graduation requirements = passing the 12th grade exams from your track -

Anybody have opinions on Greek programs?
Loesje22000 replied to chepyl's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
We started EG 1 with my 12yo this January, and the pace is too slow for us. I am still using it because I know I can get this done, and we have still several exams to pass and I can't have a too heavy plate right now. So we do one week of EG in the first half of the week, and a more Athenaze type of text in the second half. I expect we will change to the Flemish textbook completely by Fall or so. -
French is required here, but dds motivation was seriously lacking last year, so we switched to Subjects in French too. ( I was inspired by the CM in French thread) We use Lectures Thematique fromd Hachette and A Mots Conte from Belin. For the Lectures I am in need of a TM as my French is terrible. A mots Conte inspired dd to ask if I could buy a French book as she wanted to read the whole story. I also bought Speech, a game to practice (story) telling.

According to some theories a 'best' night sleep is a multiply of 90 minutes. In that case 7,5 hours fits better

Being ill this week, so low reading results. The week before I became Ill I read 'The Lady with the Camelias' from Alexandre Dumas Fils ( in Dutch) And I recieved :'Longbourn' it was mentioned earlier this year. I love it...!!! :) I am reading slow, but glad I managed to read something in English again... DD and DH are now ill, so I have only snippets of time to read.

Educational Mugs?
Loesje22000 replied to swimmermom3's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I love your shakespeare mug!!DH would not like it though. We are buying a collection of bird mugs ( everytime I break a mug, I buy another bird) and I think DH would alse like mugs with real flowers, not the 'girly' one -
The same problem here, I don't see anything related to PM anymore. It is just missing. And I just cleaned my PM box as far as I remember. I've been troubled too with mistakenly banned. Could the cause be in that direction?

In Belgium the Polio vaccin is required. It is a reason for prison or leaving the country ( when you are foreigner) With homeschooling you also leave the belgian medical screenings and vaccinations system at school, so it is up to you to keep you vaccinations up to date.

Protestant Curriculum for Studying the Creeds
Loesje22000 replied to GrammarGirl's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
This is what came into my mind too. We are working through the Heidelberger this year and are just starting the third section. After the Heidelberger we will use this: http://www.reformedfellowship.net/life-in-christ-books.htm For the other forms of unity. From my context it is 'typically reformed' so I'm not sure it will help the OP -
Reasonable for 9th grade?
Loesje22000 replied to momto2Cs's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
For German we use: http://www.amazon.de/Grammatik-Übungsgrammatik-A1-B1-Deutsch-Fremdsprache-interaktive/dp/3190515557/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1423645417&sr=1-1&keywords=grammatik+ganz+klar http://www.amazon.de/Großes-Übungsbuch-Deutsch-Marion-Techmer/dp/319201721X/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_z And reading books in German. -
Yes, that was my guessing too.
