I overdid something...but it works!:001_smile:

This webpage should get you there. It is Jeannie Fulbright's (from Apologia's.

My son is having a terrible time with Epsilon. Math-u-See has been working wonderfully until now- How have your results been users ?

but the images won't show up.

is NOTHING like that!

Please let me know what you think. I would use this for co-op as well as for my own.Thanks!

My son loved this writing program when he was young.It's no longer published, but I know you can get it used; I've seen it on FS boards. It's called Pencil Playground and is probably a perfect solution for your situation.

I This year, I chose to use the program, Americawith my nine year old son. It has proved to be (in my opinion) among the most wonderful unit study programs out there. The program utilizes Peter Marshall and David Manuel’s The Light and the Glory trilogy. It's kind of funny that I always contemplated developing my own unit study using these books (there are so good!), only to find America quite by accident!. This unit study/book combination is a hidden treasure. Author Chris Rowe has supplemented the program with other "living" history books. Since the program is broken up into two levels (grades 3-4 and grades 5-6), some of the additional books are different for the different levels. In the lower level we are using books such as: The Mayflower Secret, Pedro's Journal, The Courage of Sarah Noble, and The Matchlock Gun, The Cabin Faced West, among others. The daily guide is very user-friendly and there is VERY little preparation work for the parent. For the most part, you can pick up the book and go. All of the hands-on activities are very doable with things found around the house. We have been "notebooking" much of the written and art activities and are developing quite an impressive notebook. The Bible study/applications are very practical and thought provoking. Science is integrated in a biweekly form and even English is included in it! We are truly enjoying it! For those of you interested in checking out the scope and sequence and looking into this program, the link is: http://christiannovelstudies.com/America/america.html BTW-there is a Year #2 which follows this study (up to present-day America, I believe), however you'll have to check the web site for details.

check out America by Chris Roe. I believe her website is www.christiannovelstudies.com (not sure) but you can google search it.

let things get too work bookie/textbookie. There is a lot of vocabulary that can be learned from older books. Books by authors like Horatio Alger, Oliver Optic, books from Lamp Lighter Publishers and some of the others. They may seem a bit far into your child at first, but once he get used to the language, the kids pick it up. A title I might suggest is by Horatio Alger titled The Young Outlaw with the sequel called Sam's Chance. It is not hard reading at all. These books are very inexpensive used on Amazon and rare/old book seller sites. I was taken aback one day when my older son was telling me a story about something that happened to him, and he said, "and I retorted..." The books are full of intelligent vocabulary and model writing as well. an added bonus is that good always wins over evil and needs books as opposed to many current publications. Well, that's my two cents for what it's worth!

Last year I thought I'd give A Beka a try-- much to my sons horror and everyone's misery! I'd never done workbook style like that with him and it was overwhelming! It brought me back to my own childhood of busywork! No offense to those who use it, it's just not for us! Spelling and writing are pretty high on my list this year(seventh-grade).for spelling, I am using a combination of Sequential Spelling and Apples.I started with level 1 (as the company suggests). It's going rather quickly(SS) and fits in nicely with Apples. Believe it or not, it was the author of Apples who suggested in combining the two (she does this with her children). For writing we use IEW which I think is absolutely fantastic! It is a lot of work, but it really teaches writing! We do this with another family, which makes it more fun! Trying to stay on with grammar,we use grade 7 "Growing with Grammar" and for vocabulary we do read-aloud books printed at the turn of the century. Sometime in the middle of the year, perhaps before Christmas, I plan to take a month or so of going very slowly with the above (except for spelling). At that point, a Progeny Press guide or Total Language Plus book will be a treat. Anyway, that's what we're doing and have pretty much done similar things in the past.

I don't feel the public school speech therapy is adequate for my son. They have him in a group of three to four children for one half hour once a week. IMO, it's a waste of time! For the privacy of the other students, they will not allow me to observe the techniques they use either.

we are having a ball with this! My ds loves it and I don't get any lip at Latin time. It is perhaps the most thorough foreign language I've ever seen, and very very easy to use!

when I first bought it many years ago, it came in video form with workbooks. Now it's updated with DVDs, CDs, and CD-ROM's. My boys loved it! It was sad to see them outgrow it!

we enjoyed watching the movie The Inn of Sixth Happiness.this is the story of Gladys Alyward, missionary to China. The focus is on her, however you can clearly see Chinese culture throughout the movie. The movie is an older one (perhaps even black-and-white -- I can't remember) and except for a little romance, pretty accurate in its history. It's a wonderful movie!

the audio book. You can listen any time -- waiting for supper, in the car etc.

If so, what's the reading like in the text? I'm looking at their text called God's World -- His Story. Could a child as young as fifth-grade use it as well?thank you much!

I'm told a Beka teaches cursive from early on -- first grade(our church school uses it) and I see the composition and writings on the bulletin boards displayed; the children seem to do well with it. I taught my son from Handwriting without Tears. In fifth grade, they actually have a grammar program woven into the cursive writing program. I used that and I also expected his copy work to be done in cursive, for extra practice.
