momto4kings Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Help me spend $150 per subject by adding more (fun stuff) to what I already have. I haven't done any formal literature with him yet, so that is something I'd like to consider, but what? Language Arts: I already own and plan to use Rod and Staff 6, WWE 4, and WWS 1 History: Quest for a hemisphere (US history) with the Teacher's and Student guide. Thanks for your ideas.

ktgrok Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Nice globe, maps, etc. Computer games like "where in the world is Carmen Sandiago". Timeline book and timeline figures. Documentaries. Nice dictionary, thesaurus, etc? Nicely bound copies of some classic books? Or just go nuts buying a bunch of fiction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto4kings Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Memoria Press lit guides. Choose either 5th or 6th. How about some science? Math? Art? I have science and math covered. Thanks for the suggesting Memoria Press lit. guides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 For history: A Hands & Hearts kit Jackdaws Don't faint of the price of the last ones! The Jackdaws add an extra dimension to history work, imo. The Kid and I are doing American history this year and the difference between reading "President Jefferson gave instructions to the Corps of Discovery" and reading a full 4 page document + answering critical thinking questions based on the original document is HUGE. Between those, and websites like http://www.lettersofnote.com he's got the chance to actually do history, not just read someone else's regurgitated plotline.
