Try online Wordly Wise. Regularly 1/2 price at Homeschool Buyer Coop. interactive, pronunciation, and self-grading. Plus, subscription is for a year. So it is possible to do a couple of levels during the subscription period.

I haven't used AOPS. But my son's tutor uses Schaum;s series, and Rong Yang's books as primary textbook. several thousand problems in each.

Do not rent a storage unit!!!. Yard sell the excess, give it away. I know many who rented these units temporarily @$250-400/month. 2 years later, when they finally got the time and motivation to retrieve their stuff, threw everything away. Nothing they placed in storage was worth the $8,000 they spent to store it. All told me they could have purchased every thing brand new for far less.

We started early with board games. Anything with dice. Our favorite was a horse racing game ( horse advanced by number rolled.). When he could count to 12, we added an extra dice. Then we moved to a 10ft number line. Did simple math on the line. eg. 2 + 2----start at 2 and used pointer to move two places to 4. 4-1== used pointer to move back 1 place to 3. Used stand and deliver method. Had him up with the pointer. About 30 minutes a week was all that it took.

All of the above. But rather than stirring, try folding. When the bottom gets cooked solid enough to lift, fold a section to center of pan. Tilt pan to let liquid uncooked egg run into the now empty section, Repeat process around pan

Since you are planning so early, contact your congressperson/senator and see if they can assist you with l White House or Congress tour. There are special ones for connected people.

Needless to add, but do not under any circumstance reintroduce her to that flock. Clearly, she is at the bottom of the pecking order. [sorry! couldn't resist after reading of her recovery]

Don't forget to eat breakfast tacos.

I thought the homeschool movement started with southern and middle class whites finding out the so-call christian schools they spawned, with restricted admissions, were no better than the integrated schools they were fleeing. Then privileged whites joined in because their privileges and educational backgrounds allowed them

Find another class. Comprende?

Sorry. Did not mean to suggest in any way that your son was being bullied. Just trying to point out that being the new kid is tough enough even when not standing out. Sounds like a great program. I would not let him drop out. 9th grade is a good time to start life lessons: can't quit simply because you're not comfortable. college and work world both have challenges that he will have to adjust.

Actually, you take SCAT through CTY. With a qualifying score, you are accepted for CTY on-line classes, and live summer classes held around the country.

If this is first year in school, transition difficulties are expected--especially if he has been totally homeschooled. Most likely has difficulty adjusting to kids his own age, possibly even teachers. . Ease up some up on the workload his first year. A 9th grader doing pre-calc, and AP anywhere, but the most rigorous school, is walking around with a "kick me" sign. No way to meet friends and blend in ( In HS it all about blending in). You can accelerate him in 10th grade where class/schedule variations stand out less.

House painted my way through college. The secret to a good paint job, is good preparation. Fill in the deep knicks and dents with wood putty, and sand everything smooth working your way to at least 160/180 grit paper. Then degrease and sand again. Paint lightly, sand with 200/220 grit between coats, and then recoat. Repeat until you are satisfied with finish. If a work/play table, a couple of coats of water based poly urethane. will protect the finish. grit refer to the smoothness of of the sandpaper (lower the number, the coarser the sand). some of the smaller hardware stores will sell to you by the sheet. You will only need a few of each at around a dollar each.

California City was the original timeshare rip-off. Heavy TV promotion in the 60's for dream and vacations homes- -hunting, fishing, hiking, fresh air. The trick/trap-- sewer, water and infrastructure to a particular tract will be built after every owner in that tract pulled building permits. Nearly impossible to get all to do that. Had a similar TV campaign for land around Salton Sea, CA. btw, you do not have to accept deed transfer.

Found the model we started with-- HAK907, on amazon for $45. Highly recommended. Fair amount of speed for a complete beginner. Took a beating and still flies. Forgot to add, make sure you get one that comes with its own controller, not a cell phone operated one. Also, stay away from the camera for your first drone. cameras at the bottom price range don't work well,

Drones also go by the name quadcopter. Basically, a flying disk propelled by 4 rotors. Takes some practice, but way easier to fly than a rc copter or plane. search. search "best drones under $100", "Best cheap drone", "large cheap drones", you will find many For a child get one at least 12''diameter, built for outdoor flying. Get one around $60, with good reviews. Work your way up to bigger and more expensive. My son loves flying his. . Has been the favorite gift the last two x-mass. Again, stay away from those small palm sized ones--too delicate, and cannot really learn to fly indoors.

I recommend that you not get a r/c car. Rc cars are so played out that you can get unopened packs in every thrift store. Get a drone. started last year with the now 11 y.o. get a basic drone. Something around $50. Don't get any of those palm sized ones. Get the largest you can find with go reviews. A syma x5c-1 for $65 comes to mind. It will last about a year, then upgrade to a $100 model. It will take at least 2 drones before your child is ready for the real drones at minimum of $400.

The Athena writing class has peer critique.

I don't have any questions for you. But, if you look at the California State University-Los Angeles' well respected and long established early entrance program, you might get some ideas. wwwcalstatela.edu/eep/

How do we do it? First we started young, and then it is year round. Summers are focused on starting a new class and getting 1/2 through by the Fall., and the rest by Spring. During the school year, he gets out at 3:00, and starts school homework by 3:45,or 4:00, at the latest. Then the after schooling begins and it is limited to 1 hour sessions 4/week. Up until now, it was m-t, no weekends. But now in the 6th gr, there is little more hw, and more frequently, so we now do it Fri and Mon right after he completed school hw. He is done on school nights with all work by 6:00. On Sat & Sun he starts at 8:00 a.m. The carrot is that no extras happen before all work is done. Since he is not allowed tv, or non school related computer time during the week, he is very motivated to get through it. In the rare times he balks on the weekend, i just ask him to tell me if we are cancelling golf, tennis, robotics, math circle, karting or any thing he was planning on doing. Many question me about my demands on him. I explain time wise it is a wash. He does other work in math class, and the time he would have spent on math hw, is spent on other things. More importantly, he enjoys the attention his accomplishment brings. He likes being the bmoc academically. All awards, trophy, etc,, and there are many, go immediately up it on his "wall of fame.' BTW, 7:00 is way too late to expect a young kid to learn,something new. I am helping a struggling college student. The firts thing I did was examine his study habits. He would start at 10:30p.m and then stay until he was done around 1:30--2:00a.m. Got him to study his two hardest subjects during the day, and then anything else early evening. Grades went significantly up.

We started after schooling in kindergarten. My 6th grader is just wrapped up his first go round through geometry, has started alg 2. We don't worry about grade or subject acceleration. Since all school math is review, and he only spends minutes on it, he has more time for other subjects and sports. He enjoys taking advanced math outside of school because he goes at at his own pace ( for example, alg1 took nearly 1 1/2 years). I'm sure he could have handled the math with older kids if he was pushed, but we aren't trying to prove anything. Around 9th grade (H.S.), we will deal with appropriate placement.

The class starts this week. I'll report in a month or two.

Seems like you were the backbone, rather than Khan the spine.
