And I guess I'm wondering what types of writing/what forms specifically, a student she be comfortable with before AHL. Thank you.

Thanks!
As far as completing at least half of WWS, I'm assuming they mean the first half? Thanks!

Hello, I'm wondering what skills would need to be in place for a student to be ready to begin AHL for 9th grade? This would be for a student that is not coming from a MFW background.
I'm especially interested in writing skills/English. Thanks!

I want to say thank you, also. I so look forward to reading Minutes with Marie. I'm always touched by your messages.

Thank you so much for sharing this. What a beautiful illustration of God's light and the need to share it with others.

Julie, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, especially about the purpose of book basket books. Reading through your clarification of the purpose of book basket has shifted my thinking a bit as far as desiring a specific book pack. I think I was desiring more books in general for extra read alou...

Hello, We get the Kids version of Nat Geo and my kids really enjoy it. It's secular, obviously, but there hasn't been any questionable content so far. The issues are heavily animal-based, but also include articles about different areas of interest found around the world. I would describe the magazin...

Thank you. I really appreciate your comments.
For us, I think it would be better saved for an older crowd.

Awesome, thank you

Thank you, kidswife, I've ordered Kisses from Katie. Looking forward to reading it

hsm, my cart was full, too. Lots of great enrichemnt items to choose from

Thank you, extrafor6, I was absolutely wondering about the Brinkman CDs and was going to ask about them. You were reading my mind
My dd loves the Adventures in Odyssey Cds, so I'm glad to hear they are similar.
Thank you

Thanks for sharing :) I appreciate hearing how the enrichment items are working for your kids, glad to hear they are being enjoyed. I thought the Safari Rush Hour looked really neat, and the Keva Structures, too. Terry, it is so neat hearing the fun you are having with Safari Rush Hour :) Thank you,...

Perfect, thank you

Aaaaah, now it all makes sense, thank you, ladies! Good to see the big picture ; ) Now that I am looking at it again, I am seeing that it is one of the "advanced" assignments, is that right? Also, if it is an advanced assignment, what age/grade is that written for? Thank you! yes... the research pac...

Thank you, ladies! Always so helpful : )

Thanks very much, Julie!
Sounds like a great read!

Ladies, thank you very much for taking the time out to share your wonderful experiences. It seems that every post written really spoke to me as I was looking for a little encouragement and direction as far as character training. Julie, thank you for the links, I enjoyed very much reading through the...

Thanks very much for taking the time to help me with this, I'm happy to have some additional ideas. Great ideas, thanks very much!

Just getting back to this, thank you for the replies! Julie, you mentioned about hearing some others saying that ECC isn't fun for young ones, that was definitely not one of my concerns! I think it looks really great for young ones. I really appreciate you sharing the specifics of your experience wi...

Fantastic, thank you, all!
I feel like I have some direction with this.

Misty, thank you! I really appreciate hearing how you approached things when combining. Combining makes a lot of sense here especially as I juggle other things. I don't know how larger families do it! I could see us working it out how you mentioned and being successful. Did you do the "I Can Do All ...

Well, you are all so very thorough in your responses, I don't have anymore questions and I see now that I need to stay put where we and complete all the grade 1 material! :) As mentioned, I was just pondering things...she seems very capable of beginning both PLL and the R&S Spelling BUT, not at the ...

Great ideas...I've been inspired to break-in my new laminator just for this purpose.
My girls will love this. Thank you.

I plan to do like Baileymom and move into our 2nd grade (Adventures) program as soon as I feel like we are ready for the transition. If I see that my daughter needs some additional time to cement some grade 1 skills, I'll use that "additional time" in grade 1 to work on those. I'm thinking things li...
