I am having trouble knowing how to utilize the teacher's guide for literature. How much of the teacher's guide's suggestions do I use? Does the student only answer the questions after the story when the HOD Guide says to?

We started World Geography today, and I thought I was ready. I have no idea when to use the teacher's guides. I have no idea what to print from the CDS. I am feeling very panicked! Help?

I was wondering what from MTMM could be counted as Hugh School Credit, and I cannot seem to find the thread about that. I am sure this has been discussed. I am sorry for the repetition!

What are your thoughts on your kids listening to music while doing their work? My kids listen to their own playlists. I'd prefer classical, if anything. I find it distracting, personally. How can you fully concentrate on something you are reading with music that has words?

Lyn3ggb, That was so poiniant. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and what worked for you. CM did see kids as individuals. I have apologized to my son for not being as receptive as I should have been. He expressed that 1) the storytime readings are too long (they are long, and CM ad...

This mama needs some advice. As background, I have 4. A girl finishing MTMM, a boy in Rev2Rev, a girl in CTC, and a boy in Preparing. This is about my 13 year old son in Rev2Rev. He just started this guide a couple of weeks ago (as we school year round). Today we began Songbird and had read the hist...

My 11 year old daughter (12 in late August) is on week 15 of CTC. We school year round. I have her going into 6th in the fall. I like to do Res2Ref for 6th, because it keeps them on Target with the high School guides. My question is whether we should stop CTC early and start Resurrection to Reformat...

Thank you kidsforhim. You are so right.

What's funny is that he sits through church. What I mean is, he sits quietly (because of discipline), but I am sure he retains about as much as he does for school! He does love math! We use Teaching Textbooks, and it is fast paced and changes enough to interest him (I guess).

I thought the same thing Melissa. But when I posted about this issue the first time, Carrie and others said not to do that. I don't really know why. To me, it seems that frequent stops and "checking in" with him would help. He told me, "When you're reading to me, I see something else and then when I...

Me again...My 9 year old son is STILL not medicated for ADHD (though he will be eventually...going through the process). He is in preparing. The History readings and Storytime readings are (seemingly) USELESS. He can't...absolutely CAN'T focus. I have done everything imaginable...given him things to...

Just a caveat. Young Earth is prevalent in all guides, for which I, personally am thankful.

I have mine 1st coil bound and 2nd have the back and front covers covered with thick laminate. I have done this from Little Hands to World Geography and never regretted it!

Have the President Book and Videos for MTMM been updated?

I don't know if I am allowed to post this, but here goes.

There is a Facebook page for Preparing. They give you great info in the files section on getting organized.

There is also a great blog called The Monarch Room
