  1. finish it over 6th grade.. move on to WWE level 4 for 7th grade and do WWS level 1 for 8th grade.. I know we started writing a bit later than I did with my oldest.. and he's doing fine with it.. but does he NEED to do WWE level 4? It *looks* like a lot of the same things.. Can I skip it? Would he miss anything important? I do admit that WWS looks (to me right now) like it would be hard for him.. but maybe it wouldn't be by 7th grade. I don't want to leave out anything he needs but it looks like tons of repetition.. thoughts? oh I know I look like a newbie here but I used to frequent this board a lot with my (now) senior
  2. can someone link me to the schedule that lines up apologia & teaching co. chemistry? I seem to have lost it.. thanks so much
  3. I have to say I agree :) There were times when I wondered during those miquon years just how he was doing.. but we moved into Singapore and he did great.. He's finishing sophomore year this year..where did the years go.. With my second I used a combo of Singapore and Miquon.. I won't do that with my 3rd or 4th. It's a nice idea in theory but I'm too busy to mess around with 2 curriculums.. it's been hard to stay organized with it.. He'll finish up miquon and use Singapore 4 next year but I'll be glad when he's done with 2 programs.. It was too hard with 2 smaller children.. Glad to hear you're loving it! **edited to add that we'll use just Miquon with the other 2 for the first few years and then move into Singapore like I did with my oldest
  4. it's a little cheaper there.. I had already emailed Ray so we'll see which way is the best.. I'm not ordering til I search one more time.. ugh..makes me grumpy LOL to spend $ on something I know I have... I keep thinking that I *have* to come across it somewhere.. thanks for your help:)
  5. I know this is a long shot.. but I can't seem to find our cd that goes with french 1 book anywhere.. It looks like Horrible books doesn't sell the french and if I order from Galore Park I'm looking at $44 for the one cd.. yikes..does anyone have one that I could buy or borrow? I know I haven't been here in a while but I used to come here all the time. Found out about SYRWTLF from the ladies here... any help? I checked ebay too but not having much luck tia Tina Duke
  6. I"m thinking of biting the bullet and buying IEW for my ds for next year 9th grade and, of course, using it all through high school. He's done some writing programs...here and there.. most recently (spread out of 7th and 8th grade) Jump In.. he does ok with writing programs but does pretty much just what *has* to be done.. kwim? However he loves to write his own stories on things that interest him.. mostly novels about superheros etc.. and his writing in these is fantastic!! does IEW use actual lesson plans or just teach you *how* to write and then have them pull it into whatever they want?.. It's a big chunk of change but if I pay $239 but it's for 4 years it wouldn't be so bad...What do you all think? I want him to be well prepared to do papers etc as well...I'm going to post this on the K-8 board as well....Are there any other programs for high school that you think are great? opened to suggestions.. thanks so much!

  8. yea, this is what I'm wondering.. I hate to not give him any credit for it if he does it daily in 9th and 10th grade...
  9. the reason he's *behind* where I'd like him to be is because we started late (7th grade) *and* because we didn't spend enough time on it in 7th....This year my goal is to focus on it more and get it done by the end of 8th (this year).... we really like it and I have no greek experience so I find it plenty challenging.. I really would like to do all three levels.. and actually already purchased level 2.. I really want him to *know* it and not just check it off to say we did it kwim? We are also doing french and will continue with it all 4 years of high school. so.. I was thinking of continuing with levels 2 and 3 even if that meant taking til the end of 10th grade.... then he'd still get 2 full years of higher greek (not sure what we'd use, opinions accepted ;-) So.. he'd still have 4 years of french on his transcript. I hate to not give him any credit for the greek ... It is work and not easy imo.... Thanks so much!
  10. with my ds next year (he's been using level 1 in 7th and 8th.. maybe we can at least start level 2 this year)... would you feel comfortable giving a credit for it in high school? maybe a half credit? or pull something else into level 2 so it's worthy of a whole credit (not sure if this could be done or what I'd pull into it) .. thanks for any help
  11. ds for a couple more years and am thinking about selling them and buying again later. Can anyone confirm whether or not they've all been revised? thanks!
  12. for my oldest (who is now going into 8th) we did KONOS we did a weekly coop with lots of fun hands on things(dropped this after K or 1st and did SOTW, continued with coop though italic handwriting no phonics.. just practice reading.. he was fluent by first grade.. in K we did Playntalk and games etc Miquon math can't remember when we started R&S English (think it was 2nd grade) LOts of reading library visits cooking together can't remember what else..that was a while ago.. For next ds (will do 1st in the Fall this year) *combo of Biblioplan (year 3 of the rotation) and a free online Am History plan *FLL *Miquon/Singapore combo *my own science plan.. trees/snow/weather/astronomy/gardening again in the spring.... as well as any other books we decide to read...we do lots of nature stuff (love Thornton Burgess books) *italic handwriting *maybe some copywork *story bible/character books *crafts to go with history and/or science *library visits *cooking *nature walks think that's all.. don't have my plan in front of me... but I think I got it all ***edited to add that I did some FIAR with my first.....tried with my second.. but it didn't go as smoothly.. I may do a little here and there.. and also with my second we are using ETC.. love it*************
  13. or just as an ebook.. I love Biblioplan as well.. it's been a great fit for our family!
