  1. Hello, What is the difference between Analytical Grammar and Jr. Analytical Grammar? Thank you. : )
  2. Thanks, oneddmanybooks. Presentation aside, would you say the content was good? Was there enough depth for a 4th grade science course or did it seem geared for a younger audience? Thank you.
  3. Hi, I'm hoping to hear from some folks that have used this course via the distance learning with Mrs. Dunn. How did you like the course....did it seem age appropriate, was it rigorous enough? How did you/your student like the teacher, Mrs. Dunn? I have viewed the samples for this course and I'm uncertain about the teacher's presentation style. She seemed to "talk down" to the students and seemed to be speaking to kindergarteners rather than 4th graders. I know the samples can only offer a glimpse, so I'm trying to get a good feel for the teacher's presentation by hearing from those who have used it. Thanks for any comments.
  4. I'm seeing 4 sets of flowers in all--- and the 2nd set has 3 flowers on the stem, also the 4th set has 3 flowers on the stem. I'd circle the first and fourth set since they both have 3 flowers.. Maybe you were counting the bouquets individually instead of the individual flowers on each stem? I can see that being confusing.
  5. I do one CLE lesson along with one SM Exercise daily. It's doable because the CLE I00 lessons are pretty short overall, and the SM Exercises are typically only 2-3 pages each.
  6. I'm using CLE I00 (Christian Light Education) along with Singapore IA/IB for my dd in first grade. I think it's a good balance because CLE offers a more traditional scope and sequence while Singapore promotes a lot of mental math/out of the box thinking.
  7. Thank you. Does it look activity heavy or mostly reading?
  8. Hi, I'm looking for reviews for either of these new books by VP. Anyone try these out yet and have some thoughts? Thanks.
  9. Got it, thank you : ) So, is AAR level 3 purposeful as far as word attack skills, or is that level 4? Thanks : )
  10. I feel a bit a bit ignorant, but will ask anyway... What are word attack skills? Thank you. : )
  11. Hi, I am looking into possibly using Saxon Grammar and Writing 4 and noticed there is a newer, updated 2nd edition now available. I've learned that the updated version now meets Common Core Standards for language and writing, and all that I can find about changes is that the writing portion has been expanded per CC alignment. I'm curious if anyone has this program or has used it and can tell me how the alignment with Common Core has affected this program as far as specific assignments? I wonder if there is any "funky" or questionable CC stuff in there that might be a problem. Thank you.
  12. I am currently using the Veritas Press online Self-Paced history course---Old Testament/Ancient Egypt--- with my soon-to-be 4th/Ist graders. It is anything but boring : ) The course is informative, engaging and fun. It is the one area of schooling that both my girls truly look forward to. The online course also has optional coordinating literature packages that round out the program.
  13. My daughter really likes the Elephant and Piggy books as well : ) Have looked up other titles by Mo Willems? He has the Pigeon books and the Knuffle Bunny books, plus others. My daughter likes those as well since they are fun and silly.
  14. Great, theses ladies are very knowledgeable. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Using_Bob_Jones_with_Homeschool/?yguid=273525321
  15. Hello- Have you considered asking this on the BJU Yahoo group? The ladies on there are DL queens, lol. They could answer everything you asked so specifically for you. If you need the group name (and are interested) I'd be happy to share, just let me know.
  16. Perfect, I've gone ahead and ordered level 3. Thank you.
  17. I'd love to join in on this buy before it ends but, I just don't know which level to get even after perusing the Atelier website/placement chart. Would anyone be able to advise? I have a 9 year old and a 6 year old--both are very adept at drawing, and the older gal has taken a formal drawing class in the past. Thank you : )
  18. Maybe from UR the Mom? http://www.urthemom.com/Planners.html
  19. It IS Sonlight that they (Cloverleaf) are using now but, Sonlight won't admit it. The pdf makes it so clear---it's the same SL product that is available on their website---there are even direct links to the SL product website from the Cloverleaf materials pdf.
