High School Foreign Language - Help!
KYinAZ replied to KYinAZ's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Going to have DD look at Duolingo and Homeschool Spanish. I saw the motherlode lists, really just seeking honest opinions on what worked and what didn't or didn't so much. Thank you for the information! -

I'll definitely check the local college. After reading responses, I'm leaning toward some sort of classroom setting. Thanks for taking the time to responds. This helps me so much. I go up and down on stressing out over high school. This helps out so much! -

Thank you so much for the honesty on Rosetta Stone. That is exactly what I was wondering about Rosetta Stone. Going to cross it off my list. Thanks again! -

I'll definitely check into it. Thank you. I'm with you on the interaction. Proper pronunciation is important and I feel she needs a teacher to guide that. Thanks again. -

Couldn't find this in another thread; please forgive if there is one. DD will be a sophomore in the coming homeschool year. This past year we used Mango on-line, and both hated it. She was quite frustrated when after completing several chapters and subsequent tests, they added lessons to previously completed material that we felt hindered her on future lessons. They did this twice that we caught. I took French in highschool and lived in Italy for a couple of years, but lost a lot of it! Was leaning toward Rosetta Stone, but saw Living Language Spanish on Amazon that includes workbooks. I feel she would benefit more with video/audio/workbook combination. Any suggestions? Anyone used Living Languages?

I'm curious if you had any luck getting your files. My father-in-law passed away around the same time. I am trying to find a seller, joy in the journey resources - Julie Lay. No luck on google. Trying to get Apologia Exploring Creation tests she made. Sorry for your loss.

3rd grade math: looking for cross between Saxon and MM

3rd grade math: looking for cross between Saxon and MM
KYinAZ replied to KYinAZ's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Sorry for being vague. I'm strong in math and love it myself; but appreciate a daily "plan" from instructors' guides. Looking for mastery based with some hands on manipulatives, if possible. My youngest is more of a kinesthetic learner. I would prefer more practice problems, without having to develop or hunt for them myself. I looked at Singapore, CLE and Rod & Staff, on-line samples. Thank you so much! I really like the CLE so far. I am still learning, and often over-whelmed by the curriculum choices. Your help is greatly appreciated! -
3rd grade math: looking for cross between Saxon and MM
KYinAZ posted a topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Looking for some guidance from those more experienced with homeschooling. I'm looking for a math that is more of a cross between Math Mammoth and Saxon Math. My DD will be 3rd grade next year. This is our second year of homeschooling. I started her with MM light blue series. I liked that it was more advanced and had numerous exercises to instill the concepts and, to me, advanced in a logical order. I didn't like that it did not have a "teacher manual" and in some cases, very little instruction in the concept being taught. This year, I switched to Saxon Math 2 with the manipulatives. I like that for her it is a tad more "hands on" and I like the teacher's manual in the way that I am able to read through the lesson prior and know what needs to be achieved. I don't like the jump around nature of the text, at all. I also don't care for a lot of the scripted portions of the TM. She has some attention issues, so I'd like a math I may stay more involved in with her. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I try to stay away from any common-core aligned products in general. No offense meant for anyone, just a personal choice. Thank you!
