okay. See that is what I thought. It seemed to be all geared for a co-op, not for a parent homeschooling one child. Thank you:001_smile:

Okay, maybe I am stupid or something. I have been to the Great Books website a million times. I even got a sample from them. I think it is Level 3. It seems that this is geared for a classroom? Or a co-op? Where would I start? What would I order? I have an 11 yo. What is this program *exactly*. It seems as if the books are just small stories within one book. Not a full lit program. You can use this with one child? If someone can explain this to me in very simple terms I would appreciate it. Okay, I am crawling under my rock now. :confused:

THANK YOU!! These are really great suggestions:001_smile:

YAY Jen. Here is some:lurk5: for you too:001_smile: Thank you!! Whose bringing the drinks? I like mine with an umbrella please:D

:lurk5: thank you:001_smile:

YAY Melissa!!:lol: Thank you. Here is a big box of :lurk5: for you!! Thanks so much:D

How do you take Algebra 1 in 8th grade and count that on a high school transcript? It is mandatory here to have Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 to graduate.??

:lurk5: Popcorn for Jen for replying:D How are you implementing Caesars English 2? Am I to assume the teachers edition fof that is the same? :lurk5: Spycar, here is some for you to. But I am not cleaning up any kernels....;) (And FWIW, I like the looks of the Poetry as well)

I am so stuck on this. Daughter will be 11. We have not done anything in the critical thinking/logic area. Something that starts off slowly and builds?? I don't want to frustrate her. As always, thanks!!:)

AAACK............sorry:tongue_smilie: Here is more for all of us to share :lurk5::lurk5::lurk5::lurk5::lurk5::lurk5: Do I get an answer now??:lol: hee hee....

:lurk5::lurk5::lurk5: Anyone?? I will get sick eating all of this popcorn myself:lol::lol::lol:

I have been checking different sites all day. Some of these are really great!! Thanks:)

LOL..............This is how I feel when I am at Amazon.com!!!:lol:

:lurk5: :D

Thanks. Sometimes places like Amazon charges shipping from each seller, so at $3.75 for shipping on a .75 book adds up if you are buying several. I was trying to cut back on shipping. So even if I were to buy from either the same site, or diffferent sellers, I would get some kind of discount. Thanks!!:D

Can you tell me *how* you implement this with your child? I have book 1. Teachers Edition. Do you sit and read it with them? How do you utilize this? Thanks:)

Other then paperbackswap, ebay, and amazon. Is there a place where I can find non-fiction and fiction books used?

oooh, that is why I am afraid to make the leap and purchase now:confused: I am afraid I may change my mind a million times before September. I have time, right???????:lol::lol:

I am such a waffler:confused: We did NOT have a good year this past year, so I think it is making my choices all the more harder this year, since I want to buy my curriculum and FINISH it!! So, reluctantly I am posting my ouloud thoughts for my 11 yo...... History/Literature- WP American Cultures Science-WP Rock around the Earth and GP SYRWTL Science Book 1 LA-Queens Language Lessons for the Secondary Child Vol 1, and GP SYRWTL English Book 1 (alternating) Vocabulary-Caesars English 1 from MCT Writing-Writing Strands Book 5 Math- BJU Math 5 Study Skills-Galore Park Logic/critical thinking-???? No wonder I have not ordered anything. Oh wait, I own ROE Science....LOL:lol: __________________ Cindy:) Homeschool mommy to a 10 yo daughter

ooops

Oh okay. Got it. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be overkill:D Thanks:001_smile::001_smile:

:)

Thank you for the responses. In retrospect, I can see both sides of it. And I am sure if it works, it would certainly be worth every penny!! :D

I am really leaning towards Caesars English for Vocabulary. It is all Latin prefixes/suffixes. Would using a Latin Program such as Getting Started with Latin, Latin Prep, or Great Latin Adventure would be to much?
