  1. I would guess so, just based on the amount of reading done, but I'd have to look through his submitted work to see. Honestly this has been a crazy busy year for me, so I have no idea what all he's done, just that he loved it and got fantastic grades
  2. He says he enjoyed all of it. He said the discussion forum was good but he also really enjoyed the discussions they had during class. My son is still working on EF skills, but he had three online classes this year and literature was the easiest one for him to manage. He'd never had a formal lit class before this year either, but he is a voracious reader.
  3. He reads the chapter, I read the chapter, we do the section 1 and 2 questions from the study guide orally, and then he writes out a response to the critical thinking question.
  4. My son took the ancient lit class this year, but he did the live version not the self-paced. I can tell you that he LOVED it and is already looking forward to medieval lit this fall.
  5. My son is currently taking the Ancient Lit class. He says that they were given some themes to talk about and criteria to be met, but that it's helpful to already be familiar with literary elements and analysis. My son's been using Writing with Skill, so he has a pretty firm base in literary analysis.
  6. Thanks for letting me know. Aaagghh I just purchased the Henle 2 set from a distributor here in Canada, because shipping directly from Memoria press is horribly expensive. All well
  7. Yes, he's currently taking Ancient Lit with them and LOVES it!
  8. *Saxon Advanced Math *Medieval Literature (Wasko Lit) * Planning to do writing with Write at Home, but not sure yet whether to jump into the year-long High School Writing 2, or do the one semester classes and do HS Writing 1 and then 2 *Clover Valley Honors Chemistry *History of the Medieval World by SWB with Study Guide *Henle Latin 2 *French 4, considering doing French 4/5 through AIM Academy *First Form Greek...maybe. Three languages at a time may be a bit much, but he has been wanting to pick back up with Greek. He did the Greek Alphabet book and some of Elementary Greek a few years ago. He's planning to review the alphabet over the summer to prepare. *Phys Ed: continuing to work out (we have Beachbody on Demand, and I let him pick out any program he wants to do), running when the weather is cooperative, and just general outdoor mountain man stuff. This may not be for credit
  9. Finished off April with a 5K run yesterday. I've never run that far without stopping before, so my goals were to just keep running and to try to finish in under 40 minutes. I did have to kind of stop and quickly open a gate into one of our cow pastures, but other than that I ran the whole time and it only took me 35 minutes!
  10. Until around the middle of May. Most of the cows will be done before then, but there are always a few stragglers who didn't get bred until late summer. The busiest part of the season is over though, now we're down to 1-4 cows calving a day instead of nearly 20 a day.
  11. Hi ladies! I haven't checked-in in quite awhile, we've been very busy with calving. I am still getting my workouts in. I put 9 week control freak on hold and switched to 30 day breakaway, since the weather has been nice enough for running. It's a 30 day program of weights, core, and running, which I started on April 1 and am so far still on track to finish on April 30! Between that and the cow work I am logging anywhere from 6 to 10 miles a day on my fitbit, usually 8-10 miles. It's actually been a pretty good calving season, we haven't had too much trouble and the weather has been pretty nice for spring in the Rockies :) Out of 312 cows we've calved 250 so far.
  12. It was a pretty nice day here in BC too. We tagged some calves, I did a 9 week control freak workout (total body tone) and took a short, very muddy walk with the dogs. We were visiting with the neighbors and discovered that a big chunk of their lawn was melted off, so we got out the spikeball set I got the kids for Christmas and played over there with their kids. It takes some practice but we had a lot of fun and it's definitely a good workout as well. They all want to play again tomorrow.
  13. We haven't had to bottle feed any yet, but I'm sure there'll be some bottle-feeding at some point. We haven't had many first-calf heifers calve yet, mostly older cows who know what they're doing, so it's been pretty smooth so far.
