Ok, Canadians, 'fess up. Who/where are you? ;-) I'm in Quebec.

We live in Canada, and have a ds who is entering grade 9 via homeschooling. We have completed the TWTM sequence of science from grade 1-8. My ds will be doing Saxon Algebra 1 this coming year. We are interested in using the Apologia (Dr. Wile) science texts. My understanding is that in order for our universities to accept a student into sciences, they need to complete both the regular and AP texts of the Bio, Chem, and Physics courses of Apologia (If someone from Canada can confirm this or expound on this, I would appreciate this.) I am in need of some answers so I can better judge what to

Hi all, I'm looking for places to find used curriculum in Canada. I've searched online but often links in blog posts are no longer good and the page/site/store/group no longer exists. I usually get my stuff when I'm in the US (much cheaper anyway) but it will be a while before I head to the States. Here are the resources that I know of: Homeschooler Haven http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/homeschoolerhaven/info Canbookexchange, http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Canbookexchange/info Homeschool swap on Facebook Is there anything else out there? -

I finally ordered my kids’ passports! Now we’ve got an itch to go to Canada. (We live near Seattle.) So, if you had a 3 year old and a 7 year old, which would be more fun: two nights in Victoria, or two nights in Vancouver? Plus, what should we do when we get there? Our budget is $600. Thanks for the tips!

A few testers wanted for short Canadian History eBook
Jay3fer posted a topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I'm not sure what the reading level is of this short eBook; that's one of the things I'd like help with, in addition to spotting typos (it's pretty clean) and evaluating the content. Maybe 5-6 testers would be ideal to download it free and let me know what they think. I wrote this book because in a weird patriotic moment, I decided to teach my kids to sing The Maple Leaf Forever, a song my mother grew up singing in school every day, and couldn't find much information about the song - or about why it's no longer sung... and why it was passed over for O Canada as our official national anthe -
I want to invest in a mill and wheat berries ... BUT, I live in Nova Scotia with no place to purchase cheap or even reasonably priced berries. My local health food store is ridiculously high-priced and none of my local grocery stores carry them. So, if you are Canadian, where do you purchase your wheat berries? The western provinces, Amazon :tongue_smilie:?

New to this board: how to afterschool?
Caralee posted a topic in Parents' Forum Afterschooling Board
Hello Everyone. First of all, a quick introduction. I live in Western Canada and have been homeschooling my children for 6 years now using the WTM. This fall, my oldest son with our full support will be trying out a nearby public school for his 7th grade. I will be homeschooling the younger ones as usual. The school system where we live is of good quality. We will be checking out schools nearby to see which one is best for him to be in. My first request is: I also would like to know what I should focus on helping him learn and build from now until September to prepare him for his firs -
What is the best option for purchasing curriculum in Ontario? I'm thinking widely used stuff like Singapore Math, Math U See, SOTW, etc. The only supplier I know of is Rainbow Resources. And of course, Amazon.com, but they don't have a discounted shipping to Canada deal like Rainbow (I think). Or is it better to make a huge purchase off a US site (any suggestions?) and ship to a PO Box in Buffalo and go down to pick it up there? I really appreciate any tips you may have. Very new at this, Lida

H1N1 kills 13-year-old Toronto boy; dad urges parents to watch kids carefully TORONTO — A grief-stricken father whose otherwise healthy teenage son died suddenly from the swine flu struggled to make sense of the tragedy Tuesday and urged other parents to keep a close eye on their ill children. Paul Frustaglio said it took barely more than a day for the H1N1 flu virus to kill Evan - his "best friend" - who turned 13 last month. "He fell so quickly," Frustaglio told The Canadian Press. "I was watching him. I was there when he died." Evan Frustaglio's death on Monday came on the same day as -
I thought I'd share this, particularly for any other Canadians on the board, as our vaccine is slightly diff than the US and just began, for the most part, today. We got ours today - well, the kids & I did.. husband is working and will prolly have to wait until the weekend. It was... semi-organised chaos. :tongue_smilie: The only public clinic here right now is in the small gym at a high school, so lineups were outside - it's not winter here yet by any stretch of the imagination (it was between 0-2), but it was chilly waiting there...I'm just glad we went when we did, early.

How much will the prices go up? How much has it gone up in the past? I am wondering if I need to go ahead and purchase IG 100 History, since I am not having any luck at the moment finding it used. Any thoughts?? -
Okay fellow Canucks, think we could get a discussion going that would be heated enough to get Canadian politics banned here? Somehow I don't see it happening... :D
