Check out sra reading power on ebay. I went through the set in grade school and currently own a set like this. They are essentially the same thing as the larger classroom sets, but only have one of each card and sell for around $25.

You're not getting a response because the geography portion of easy classical history is brand new.

When my iron levels tanked last time, it presented as persistent and scary chest pain. After getting my levels up, the problem resolved. I've had weird anemia issues all my life, but i never realized that it could cause chest pain.
Another thought-- asthma can feel like several bricks sitting on your chest. You can develop asthma as an adult.

We just had strep. My doc said 24 after being on antibiotics the patient is no longer contagious.

However, if there is a convention near you before April, you might want to go. Catalogs passed out there typically have coupon stickers on them (saving $10-15 off $50 last year).

I was diagnosed at 19, but had symptoms for several years. I had a lap and the doc removed some of the growths. It was outpatient and only mildly uncomfortable afterward. I was diagnosed level III-IV and put on Lupron for six months (which shrinks the growths). This helped with symptoms. I was told to expect to have a hard time conceiving. I wasn't married then.
I ended up going on a second round of Lupron when i was 29 before trying to conceive with my husband. We got pregnant with our first right away after that!
There's hope.

If she fell and broke her hip you would feel terrible. A broken hip usually shortens an elderly person's life a good deal because they become immobile and their health deteriorates.

I've worked in a Montessori school. Most only want AMI or AMS certified staff and most don't like the online certification. Look into pay and the cost of the degree ...

I've done both and like cle much better! It's very thorough and very independent. I just am at the table while my kids work through cle for the occassional question.

I wish it could be transferred. I need to place a large order with them soon and all I have is my one $5 credit....
Just in case anyone hasn't signed up yet...http://www.VeritasPress.com/launchrock.html?lrRef=wOmcN
We both get $5 credit (up to 30 percenth for anyone that signs up.

Well, I guess it all depends on how the parent approaches the class. I require my child to write down all bold terms and main ideas while viewing the course. Think of it as college notetaking practice. We also screen print and study all of the maps. We have the cards and use some of the history source readings (Hakim, Kingfisher History)from the cards as well. There are lit suggestions as well. We also discuss. I imagine if a child is just in front of the computer, no writing, no discussing, no further reading it might be less effective. Personally, I think it is a wonderful tool.
-
Yes, it is certainly appropriate for 7 th. it has much more detail than just the manual. Add the upper level lit suggestions and the non-fiction references on the back of the card, and you would have a very solid 7th grade history. I've taught 8th grade American history in public school if that makes you feel better about my recommendation.

Have you tried giving your child a magnesium supplement? My youngest was still night time wetting at five and someone here recommended it and we tried it. It worked like a charm! Apparently bedwetting can sometimes be caused from a deficiency.
-
Never mind. It's on the veritas press homepage (right below the facebook). If you send the link to friends and they provide their e-mail, both of you receive $5. However, you can only use the gift cards for up to 30% of your purchase.

I wonder a bit about the legitimacy of the coupon as well. Someone e-mailed it to me. I've used their materials for several years (self paced history for two years) and I didn't receive an e-mail with the coupon.

I'm thinking we should all have a week long well trained mom training every January on the beach leaving our precious cherubs at home with husband or anyone else.:grouphug:

I have a khomo case. It looks a lot like a smart cover, but it has a back to it. I love it!

I love the self paced veritas press history courses. They're computer based, fast paced with lots of review. We've been doing them two years now and love them. There's currently a group buy going on right now that makes it much cheaper than usual (through the end of this month). Several people here are going in on groups. It isn't secular, though. You can see samples weeks from the various courses here. http://resource2.veritaspress.com/Resources/Scholars_Online/Scholars_Online_New_Self-Paced.html
It won't have the writing though. We do Pudewa's IEW writing (u.s. history based writing currently). It's very good and has really helped develop my daughter's writing.
If you're looking to develop memory skills, you might look at buying the Classical Conversations audio cds. It's a great time to do it as they are greatly discounted right now in preparation for a new edition.

I've had both. I also have a few of the cheap ones that were built 10 years ago. The cheap ones are built now much less sturdy than they used to be. Most of them use these large circle pieces that sort of screw closed. They don't use regular screws any longer. My cheap one from 10 years ago is strong enough to push across the room and it used regular screws and single vertical boards on either side.
I strongly discourage you from buying the five shelf target one. The side pieces come in two parts. I'd had mine in the front room for about six months when the whole thing fell forward and crashed all over the living room. I was so thankful that all of the kids were in the kitchen with me.

I've done both CC and other co-ops. I'd pick CC any day. The other co-ops always seem to have more detail drama.
Someone here likened CC to a franchise like a subway. You know what you get when you sign up. Sure, you might not like everything they do or the way they do it, but the teachers/parents/directors don't need to have the endless debates about how to make the best sandwich or the approach to customer service. That has already been decided. Instead, they focus their energy on getting the job done to the best of their ability.The parents and teachers know this. It may not be the best sandwich shop in town, but it works and with far less headache and hassle as a mom and pop shop. I also love having a community of friends for myself and my kids.
That being said, I can see the usefulness of having a break. I also wouldn't do CC with lap kids/babies or start so young. That's far to stressful for me. So I understand the dilemna.

I think the original liquid is best. My husband prefers the pills, but they have other stuff in them I don't like. I was sold when my toddler recovered from that swine flu after two days. He started very, very sick so we all were shocked and equally shocked nobody else got sick.
Latina christiana or First Form for 5th? Henle for 7th.

She's in 5th and I see MP recommends students new to Latin can do FF in fifth. I don't want her to feel overwhelmed, though. She'll be doing Henle in 7th in Classical Conversations. Which would do? She did Prima two years ago, but things got crazy this year with moving and we didn't do Latin.
Either
5th/CL, 6th/FF, 7th Henle or
5th/FF, 6th/FF2, 7th Henle
