thowell Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 We are going to try one of the units in the Physical Science book and I am wondering about printing. Do you print student or teacher's books? I know there are some student sheets that would need to be printed not sure about in the TE. Is there a way to put these on a Nook or Kindle and have dd10 read the pages from there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Mr. Q should go onto a Kindle or Nook easily; I have it on my iPad, and I think I put it on DD's Kindle too. It's way too much to print the whole thing (it's like 900 pages between the student and teacher parts). So far, I have not printed anything from Mr. Q except for the definitions at the end (which I printed so I could turn them into flash cards for review), as I just have my kids fill in the worksheets on the iPad, but it would be easy enough to print just a few of the worksheets and not the whole student part.

Doodle Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 This is our 4th year using MrQ. We read it on an iPad. I only print out the end of the chapter activities if I want to include it as a sample for my portfolio, otherwise we do it orally. I will also print out the chapter vocabulary/definition page from the teacher's book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlessedMom Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I print the all the student text & activity sheets. All I print from the TM are the vocabulary/definition pages & then just read the rest on my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess4879 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I posted re: kindle use recently. Here's the thread: http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/482134-kindle/ The consensus seems to be that it's easier to read on an iPad. That isn't in the budget for us this year, so I opted to print the student text, the activiy sheets we will use and the TG pages that we are using (about 1/2 of the entire TG). We used Mr.Q's last year and only printed the activity sheets, but we found that it didn't get done as often as it should. I have no idea why, but I do better when I have a print book I can pull out and sit down and read from. Opening the laptop was a lot of work for me, apparently. LOL We use refurbished ink, so printing cost me maybe $10 and then it will be about $10 to bind the student text. The rest is going in a binder. So, really, I spent $25 for the curriculum and another $20 to print/bind...so it's not really "cheap"...Printing it is not my favorite option. I hope to get an iPad soon!

Doodle Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Wait! How did you get it for $25???? Mr Q has an annual sale where he offers his curriculum for 50% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfknitter.# Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 The sale, I believe, is usually in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thowell Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Thanks for the info. I am only buying by unit right now since I cant afford the whole thing. Maybe I can stretch a unit or 2 until it is on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
