NEED High School Math Advice

My ds (John) has used MUS from the beginning. He has always done well with it and he is currently in MUS Algebra. He is about 1/2 way finished with the book. My advice I am wanting is, should I stick with MUS all the way through? That was my plan until looking at HOD's high school suggestions for Ma...

Re: Extensions in MMTM

My ds is going to do MTMM for his 9th grade year. I just finished talking to Julie last Friday and she told me yes that Carrie does say we should do the extensions to get the credit for history. We are also adding in the Spanish from the first high school guide as well.

Question on Independent Boxes REVIVAL to REVOLUTION

So I have always done Worthy Words with my dc although the box says "I". Now for the other boxes when they are suppose to look at the painting and answer questions to themselves I have left that box totally "I". I just spent a good deal reading through the weekly updates that Julie and others give a...

Re: Please advise for next year......MTMM

Daneale, my ds takes violin lessons at NKU twice a week for 1 hour and he practices at least 30 min 5x's a week. Are we allowed to count that towards the fine arts credit? Also just an FYI, on the English, DS is in Revival to Revolution now and it schedules English 6 half pace and thus finishes the ...

Advice on schooling with my toddler...

So I have never schooled with a toddler before. My older two or going to be in Rev to Rev this next year. I know there is a lot of independent boxes but there are still definitely things that need to be taught, checked, go over, and re-checked. So my little girl was a late walker at 16 months and so...

Re: Help w/Written Narration

I totally agree with Lynn....each dc will be different. Both my dc are in Res to Ref and their narrations aren't the same although I think they are both good :D Also I never thought the above narration was great, just an example to be honest. If it helps, we are about 15 weeks later and ds' narratio...
