Have to share our Coral Cup experiment from Unit 21 in Preparing. We always look forward to the edible projects.

My 8th grader is finishing Rev to Rev and we have decided to go on to MTMM for several reasons. 1. He got a credit for Science this year, so he can actually get the intro to Chemistry without worrying about it not counting for our State (it doesn't). He has to have one Physical Science (which he got...

Placing a child too high in the guides can really cause frustration...I had first hand experience during our first year with HOD. I agree with the others that I would do Bigger with extensions OR do each child in his own guide. My youngest son is finishing Preparing right now...and there is a lot of...

Honestly, I would use the placement chart and see where she fits best if you are just starting. We have used HOD since the beginning and my 9 year old 4th grader is finishing Preparing now. It has been perfect for him...however, we did use English 3 (R&S is advanced anyway). We used math at his grad...

We have been with HOD for a long time, but after this year, we will begin repeating guides! I can't believe it. My youngest son started with Beyond when he was just a little fella and now we are finishing Preparing (10 more weeks!). My oldest son started with CTC and is finishing Rev to Rev. So, nex...

EEK! That stinks! Hope it is somewhere inconspicuous.

MTMM will finish her Am History out and she really needs to use both Rev to Rev and MtMM to truly meet the Am History requirement for high school (it needs to cover the full span). A lot of what you do is going to depend on what state you live in and what your credit requirements are for that state....

We will be doing MtMM with my Freshman in the fall and I am ordering the extensions in place of the storytime...so, when my son would normally get to storytime in the guide, he will do his extension work instead. That said, I was a little confused by "doing storytime with him" - because starting in ...

In my state (TN), going through our cover school (a Christian Academy) on the 4-year college track, you only need 3 science credits - one with a lab. I have decided that, since my ds took the physical science through EE Advanced this year, next year, we are going to do MTMM as written - maybe beefin...

Do you mind to share what you have done, overall, to make it hs credit worthy. Carrie answered my question regarding the Science and I am excited to be able to just add a few book and still use it mostly as written. I just wondered what other tweeks you may have made to make sure everything counts. ...

Thank you so much for weighing in here, Carrie. :) This is perfect! I am so excited that we can move right on into MtMM without worry. And thank you for clairfying the reasons that it is not fully credit-worthy on its own. I truly hate to miss the last half of American History and I also hate to pic...

I am in TN, and according to our cover school, to earn an academic diploma, a student has to do Chemistry as one of the Science options. Other than the requirement that you do 150 hours of study, there is no "guide" of what you must use to meet that requirement. If I were not using HOD, I could very...

I just went to the link and clicked on labratory exercise and it worked fine for me. I am going to put the link here - I hope this is okay since the link is in an HOD guide. If not, then Moderator, please remove. http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/virtual_labs_2K8/labs/BL_18/index.html Be sure and cl...

Let's put it this way...I have been asked to teach a college English class at a local Bible college (I have a BA in English, so this isn't just random) and the books we use are R&S 8 for Grammar and R&S 9/10 for Writing. It is pretty beefy stuff.

We are using the Exploration Education Science (Advanced) this year for my 8th grade son as part of the Rev to Rev guide and it actually is going to count for his Physical Science with Lab requirement for highschool. He is allowed, through our cover school, to take high school courses for credit in ...
