How do I reset the math button?
karenmsta replied to historically accurate's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
That's so helpful, @beckyjo to hear my life in your words. And thanks for the insight into how to encourage mathematical thinking, not just correction @HomeAgain. -

Has anyone used Minecraft School?
karenmsta replied to KarenC's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
We have done two now and plan to do more. They offer a lot of fun for a low price. My boys 11 and 9 easily spend 1.5 h a wk and would spend lots more if I let them have more screen time. They give fun daily challenges as well as the weekly assignments. Our eldest loves the teamspeak feature where he talks to others from his team online at the same time ( we live in a rural area without peers, so it's been a Godsend).

End-of-yr project ideas?
karenmsta replied to karenmsta's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
Maybe I wasn't very clear. I'm looking for any and all ways to do a year end evaluation/ display of what a kids learned in a subject. Ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

I have an 11 yr old son with an inventing disposition. He likes debates, drawing, and projects. What have you done in these kind of categories to do a years- end synthesis of a subject ( such as Wilson's Logic)? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Summer Schedule
karenmsta replied to WashingonIrving's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
Jadeorchidsong, ds-11 is doing VL2 with Henle. Ds-9 is doing Latina Christiana. I want to get these cheap books (art of everyday Latin Adler) with simple translation sentences to switch it up a bit, let them do some online games and activities. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

The sterling point series has a couple dozen total and we've loved the ones we've tried, Amelia Earhart, Geronimo, and Lawrence of Arabia. Middle school level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

No, but I enjoyed my short stint studying Bahasa Indonesia! It's a Persian language. I hadn't heard of "study abroad " category. What is that? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

HS Foreign Lang credit during middle school?
karenmsta replied to karenmsta's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
There is a GCSE test for it! That would be something he would take further into HS so the credits would apply towards HS, right? I'll look into testing at the uni. Not accredited or simply transferred, but might have testing for the language faculty. Thx! There are no foreign students studying here I could look into the Capitol and ask a friend who majored in P. studies in the states. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
HS Foreign Lang credit during middle school?
karenmsta replied to karenmsta's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Thanks for that encouragement, everyone. Julie especially. I theoretically know we're a ways off from hs. But it's hard being overseas and homeschooling with only WTM Forum support (y'all are great!) I'm starting to see what is possible and have a lot to think about as I watch and help my son learn his dreams and what it's going to take to get there. Firstborns are hard like that! In other categories more than schooling!
