If my 9th grader uses the MtMM guide for 9th grade but substitutes Exploration Education Advanced from Rev for the science would I need the Rev guide?

I love all that you shared Stephanie. I actually REALLY love the science plans (including Inventor study) from Rev and MtMM. I want to do Rev Science in 9th, MtMM in 10th, Biology in 11th and US 2's science in 12th (Astronomy/Geo/Paleo I think). I think that science path would delight my son and pla...

Thanks christianmom :D . I appreciate you taking the time to read and consider my thoughts and questions. I do think he's not ready for World Geography. :D He HAS successfully used BJU Literature in middle school and so I am comfortable using the WG Lit with him although we may not do all of the nov...

I am placing my rising 9th grade son in Rev2Rev (or MtMM) with some substitutions. I've wrestled with placement and consulted the guides and samples. I've been bathing things in prayer. I think/hope/pray we have arrived at a reasonable plan but I admit I'm wavering between Rev2Rev and MtMM. At the m...

:D DS10 is in Preparing. Slow and steady. He finds the guide interesting and it’s pushing him forward in learning. The drawing challenges him and I have modified that for him. We do fewer drawings than scheduled because they stretch him so hard. We work at it though. He is doing well in this fun gui...

This recent thread is a place to start: http://www.heartofdakota.com/board3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17890 I have a freshman starting with MtMM for 9th and my plan is to assign extension reading in lieu of the storytime for history. I won’t add anything else for history but will utilize all of the boxes ...

Hi Julie (waving), It is possible I misplaced the sheet with the updated page numbers although I have homes for those sorts of things. I double checked my binder and looked in the guide to see if it was slipped in there. I do not have it and don’t recollect seeing it in my order. Shall I call the of...

The page numbers are off by about 5 in the assignment box for WRC. I purchased the guide and books from HOD for this school year. Is there a page number correction for this subject and book? Thanks!

Thanks for the IPC/Chemistry explanation. It is so helpful! After reading through the samples and your explanation I’m so comfortable using it for 10th grade.

Purchasing the WG guide may be wise after all. I’d like to use the grammar/composition and Logic. I’m also considering the WG science plans as he is done with Biology. I don’t plan to do a Bible credit this year but I do plan to read/discuss Practical Happiness from WG and to use the one day a week ...

Is it possible to use EIW 10 in lieu of 11 and just “do the next lesson”? He won’t do the Bible this year although I plan to use Bible in the US guides if this HOD plan works well. I’d rather not buy the WG guide. :D I’m thinking that if I know which lessons to use we could just do the next lesson u...

Oh dear! I meant to write that he places in World History except for the writing and narrations! I edited that post

Thank-you Rice and christianmom for your input and for helping me to think through ideas. :D I did use the Placement Chart and he fits well into the World History guide with the exception of WRITING. Honestly, I think he's somewhere between RTR and MtMM depending upon the skill in writing and narrat...

DS15 will be 16 this fall. He was in a private school as a freshman. He didn't do well in English or in courses with major writing requirements. He also experienced significant distress with multiple projects assigned simultaneously; having a major research paper assigned while also juggling essays ...

P.S. You mentioned your uncertainty about the family learning. For us I find there is more family learning and team work somehow with them each having their own work in HOD then we had in the family combined learning of MFW. I don't know exactly how it works, but the flow is so much better. When th...
