Each subject is ca. 30 minutes.

So I read up some more on The Brothers Karamazov. It is long! And it does sound seriously philosophical but really deeply so. Reminds me of Godel, Escher, and Bach in some strange way. I'll talk to him about it and see what he thinks. He might be up for the challenge when he has a lull in his other school work.
Yes it is a long book.
I prefer Le comte de Monte Christo personnally, also a long book, but dh couldn't make it through the book. DH is reading Don Quichotte, I preferred The Hunchback of the Notre Dame.
We read the book in translation, btw.

Dh loves The Brothers Karamazov and The Catcher in the rye.
I read every year one book DH loves an so I read the Brothers Karamazov in 2014.
To me it was a boring book with too much descriptions and byways.
This is exactly the raising dh loves it...
I am not sure this is a helpful review, it depends I suppose if your ds wil like the book.
-
Have your dd any preferences?
If my dd would have I would follow that.

Happy and healthy 2015 indeed!

Not liking:
Studying ahead in Math, Biology, German and French
Liking:
teaching company: nutrition made clear, History of Africa
Studying ahead Physics and Chemistry
Not sure how to manage this all.
Step by step, not everything at the same time I suppose...

Two years ago I followed 'how to learn math', it made a difference in my approach in homeschooling.
I am raised with the idea you can math, or you can't' you can languages or you can't.
This course learned me about a grow mindset.
It makes a difference in our mathlessons.
My attitude changed so dd's attitude changed.
Besides that we got regurarely struck in a subject. The flow is gone, the motivation is running low, etc.
I've never regret to take time to work on motivation for a subject.
here , it helps to seperate that disliking learning certain skills, isn't the same as disliking the subject.

Just want to mention a Vandiver set is available for 60 dollar now:

It is common here to do the three sciences a bit every year.
Earth and Space science is considered Geography here.

This is a very basic course about cooking for but also cooking with children.
It has several easy recepts.
The video's were short so you can link the video's with other stuff.
In Belgium we have a vocational track for caretakers, they have a worktext for cooking and one for householding.
I bought them for dd last year with the intention to have covered most if it when dd will leaves the house.
The BBC had recently ' Should I eat meat' or something like that on TV.
It is about the environmental impact of meat consumption, the different meattypes compared.
The serie can be a little bit dry, but so far dd understands why we are changing our foodhabits.
One she enjoyed was Superzise me.
Also this one helped to change our foodhabits
We read in defence of food from Michael Pollan and let dd read his 'food rules' boek.
It was easier to read then the other.
It might be good to study the digestive system (again) and the influence of food and drink on it.
We also watch 'secret eaters' a serie about people who think they eat healthy but eat in between not so healthy.
It opens our eyes to some of our habits.

I have the same problem from my ipad, computer is broken and can't buy another one now.
It is nowhere.
i checked everything.

I have the same problem.

Did you read this thread?
I think it is a nice place to start...

I finished the Bronse Bow in Dutch last night.
I am not fond about fiction in Biblical settings.
Nevertheless it might be a good book for dd.
Somehow I think 'Svenne' from Per Nilsson might be a good book after this one.
Time to visit the library tomorrow I think.
I also finished 'Reinhart' (Pureheart) a Flemish book about a boy in the Middle Ages who is supposed to be the heir from a loan. He wants to be knight and to travel and got permission from his christian bookloving father.
A lot happens, but the boy becomes a convinced muslimman.
Very intriguing story.
The only con I have is the bedscenes.
I am not sure I understand why Flemish authors think you can only sell history to YA with certain bedscenes.
It is in all flemish historical fiction I read so far.
These were pretty 'decent' and 'only' 3 times.
But this one will be put on the 'later' list.
Still working on my medical ethics book, but I can only read so much pages a day of this book.
A lot to think about it, but I am glad I found it.

We did two in Middle school due to examrequirements.

Our plan is to do The Elegant Essay before Omnibus 1.
Omnibus doesn't teach composition but requires a lot of writing IMO

Thanks Lostsurprise!
I will take closer look at that!

[quote name="mumto2" post="6098574" timestamp="1419631817
After a really lovely build up to Christmas our family came crashing down this morning. A dear friend died very unexpectedly, probably a heart attack. We had spent Christmas Eve with him and a group of bell ringers. He was my children's bell ringing mentor and was absolutely fabulous to both of them. My poor kids, he was their replacement grandpa. His wife is still living and we adore her, spent part of the day waiting with her for their daughter to arrive from her in laws. Very sad.
:hug:
So very sorry for you and your family.

DH read it, he is a fan of Russian Literature.
He likes the descriptions and the psychology in it.
He thinks the philosopical questions of the books are for all eras and all places.
-
Castles, Cathedrals and Monastries.
And depending on where you will love you will find museums about the Roman influence in that area.
Dd saw already several Roman 'leftovers'
Www.toporopa.eu might be an interesting site for your oldest.
You can put English settings on.
-
Another English tradition we embrace in this household: A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from the King's College chapel. On the radio as I type...
O yes!!!!
Some years it was the only Christmas feeling I got.
Normally I recorded it and watched it the years our church didn't have service on Christmas Eve.
( or I watched it twice if I had a very bad Christmas...)

Mmm
Something made me think crackers in English are somthing else then in Dutch...
I won't consider crackers as christmas food ;)
I have a question:
I liked reading the history of Congo that much, that I wondered if comparable books are available about other countries.
I think I would like to start with other African countries.
My English is average or even a little below that to my standards so 'a book for the general public' would be nice.
But first I will read the books about Ethics I recieved yesterday :)

The same video's is not a great start.
So far I let Richard/the video doing the teaching, and after that I am a broken record:
Richard said:......
Richard taught you:.....
We will see, first passing the exam next schoolyear...
Thanks for your post!

Help with 7th and 8th grade history
in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
Posted
You can go for thematic history:
History of clothes, history of ballet whatever might interest her.
Also history of well known people might be interesting.
You can also use current events to dig in history.
This way history can come alive.
If she is interested in certain countries/cultures you can study that history.
