I have taught through Omni I and II, and am currently doing the reading the books to prep for Omni III in the fall. I have not taught 2 Omni's at once, but I want to encourage you to go for it. The reason is that you should have a great familiarity with all of the books in Omni I since you would have already taught it. Also, you can meet/discuss twice a week with Omnibus (Which is how Veritas academy online does it). This would give you plenty of time to do four meetings a week, 2 for Omni I and 2 for Omni III. This does mean you would have to cover more than 1 session during your meetings, and that is doable and okay. If you are up for the challenge, have the time (perhaps summer) to prepare in advance for Omni III), and are able to organize your time well and stick with it, I say go for it. Good luck!

References to floozy women, but its manageable. Omnibus being all about discussion gives you an oppornity to make moral points in a natural setting. A good thing!

Omnibus I-III use 6th edition Omnibus IV uses 7th edition.

Has your SIL asked you to look into this for her? She might consider it meddling...especially if she has already expressed a hesitancy to send her children to public schools.

What's MODG...............

Yeah, for 300 bucks for a 4' by 6'. You can get a 4' by 8' and get it trimmed for free at Lowe's or Home depot for 15 bucks TOTAL! Just say the kind of board teacher's buy as dry erase boards. They should know, the best place to ask it the guy doing the trimming, he's definitely seen it before! I paid 14 bucks for my boards, and its great! I mounted it to my drywall using Liquid Nails (glue). You can even trim it with nice wood and stain it for a beautiful professional looking board. Board plain should cost no more than 20 bucks with glue. Add trim, and it will be at least 40 total. I use a regular eraser to erase it, but at the end of the day I windex it and it looks beautiful and clean. Don't leave dry eraser marks on it for long periods of time (more than 3-4 days). And some colors stain more than others. Blue is bad, just about every other color is great. But even blue comes off id you erase it the same day. These boards are very sturdy at about 1/4 inch thick.

Is some of the text the exact same stuff from western civ, word for word, over in the world history book?

Okay guys, I need help understand the differences in these texts. Is the world History more appropriate for an AP World History course> Would western Civ be leaving out pertinent info in regards to eastern history? Can someone tell m the differences and pros/copns? I really like Spielvogel's style and own Western Civ. already just for my own leisure reading, but I'm worried something is missing when it comes to teaching it at the High School level, which I will be doing along with Omnibus.

Bju is very good, and very solid in traditional conservative theology. A good biblical worldview training course is Understanding the Times.

I tried so many things, but the easiest and most effective for us was Jesse Wise' Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading. You absolutely cannot go wrong there!

I will be doing to Gen Science at home this year because the labs are geared for HOME USE in the second edition. If he is doing labs in a school setting, get the first edition they use. You'll be fine.

Our school room is a greyish-blue. Relaxing and comfy!

My favorite handwriting program is A Reason for Handwriting. There is plenty of material for the school year, they have a great transitional book between print and cursive, and the kids seem to find it enjoyable, and they can hang up the art page at the end of the week with their completed Sentence. This is a Christian curriculum.
