Tabitha, I just wanted to pop-in and mention that you can award a full credit for the history in MTMM. :D At the time I wrote the older thread on beefing up MTMM, the MTMM guide was brand new. Since we were not fully into writing the high school guides at that point, nor had I gone far enough throu...

Bump for Carrie's response. I know you are busy with the new guide so no rush. Just don't want this to get too buried.

A little more information that might help. :D She has earned the following credits: World History-1 English 9 - 1 - included Brit. Lit and grammar, weak on writing Intro to Speech - 1/2 (outside class) Bible Survey-1 Pre-Algebra - 1 (2nd time through. I might call this Fundamentals of Math on her tr...

She did Notgrass World history. She doesn't feel like she retained a lot with the textbook approach. This year she is using Dave Raymound's American History. I think is from explorers to Teddy Roosevelt. (I'm not 100% sure on this. I'm typing this in the van on the way to church. :-) ) I chose it so...

So, I've been thinking and praying about this situation. I wanted to add the following in case it would be helpful in suggesting a placement: While it is important to me that she does WG, it is more important that she is properly placed. So if that means doing RevtoRev and MMTM for her 11th and 12th...

Well said, SetApartForHisGlory! Thank you for the encouragement.

I recently bookmarked this....

No. Several of the things I chose for her this year she is excited about. But, I will sell it after this year.

Thank you, Carrie. These are great questions. Right now I'm leaning towards have her do MMtM and WG for 10th and 11th. It is really important to me that she does WG because of the World Religion aspect. We live in a diverse area and it is important that she not only has an understanding of what othe...

Thank you, Mumkins! :) I hadn't thought of combining guides. Actually, your comment caused me to search "combining guides high school" and I found some very helpful threads. After a bit of reading I determined that I had probably overrated my daughter's ability in the writing and English portions of...

Thank you, StephanieU! Good question. In addition to math and science (which I have planned) she would need: 2 credits English Bible* Economics* Geography Government Health Personal Finance* Apologetics* *My requirements/desires, not the state. She would place in the high school guides easily except...

My oldest daughter is going into 10th grade this year. I already have her curriculum purchased and planned so changing this year is NOT an option. (And I do like what we've picked so it won't be torture. :lol: ) However, for her 11th and 12th grade year I AM switching to HOD. I'm done with picking a...

I completely agree with Patty about cutting back on the writing with Rod and Staff. I am going through it for the 2nd time with my 2nd daughter and we are doing most of it orally, also. I did this the first time also. There is so much review that that concepts are really solidified. Instead of using...

[quote="Carrie"]As my boys have gotten older and our school day has gotten longer, we do make sure to always take a morning recess (to make sure we get outside every day during the "nicer" part of the day). :wink: All of my boys do go outside together for at least 45 min. and the rule is that we go ...

Welcome to the board, Jen! I am also doing Bigger next year with my 7 and 9 year old daughters and Little Hands with my almost 3 year old daughter.
