Comment on Homeschool Student Spotlight: On the Hunt for Big Adventure with McKenzie Sims by CD Sumner

You are so lucky! When is your show going to be on the outdoor channel because we will be sure to watch it. How old are you? I am 10 and love to hunt also. My mom is a taxidermist so I get the month of November off school to hunt. My favorite hunting is spring turkey season but a trip to Africa would be so awesome!!! My mom grew up in Cheyenne but we live in Missouri. Please let us know when your show will be on.

Comment on Pennsylvania Homeschooling – PA Homeschool Laws Firm but Fair by Jessica Parnell

emma » Hi Emma,

You can wait until next year. If your child turns 8 before the school year begins you must register with the district. If you child turns 8 during the school year, you can wait until the next school year to register. However, if she is in first grade or above and has attended public school you do have to register her when you pull her out. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you,
Jessica

Comment on Homeschool Curriculum-What Homeschool Math Program is Right for You? by Moselle Campbell

I’ve found that the ALEKS is a great computer-based math course. I’ve used it both as the primary math curriculum and as a supplementary resource. Students move at their own pace and get as much repetition as they need. Assessments are taken every 20 concepts learned so that students who “forget” concepts easily will repeat them as many times as necessary before the idea is cemented in their head.

No, there is not a placement test; however, if he is struggling with fractions I would strongly recommend that you start with book one. It does an excellent job of laying out the concepts necessary to understand fractions then moves on with practice and increasing complexity. You may even find that he could use some of the review from earlier in the book.

is there a placement test? I worry that the foundations may be too much review for my son,so I’m leaning towards the pre algebra – but hes really struggling with fractions so don’t want to miss the beginning info on that.

I am in the Fenton area and would like to begin homeschooling my preschooler. Are there any preschool groups or resources in this area? I would go as far as the Brighton area to meet some like minded parents. We are new to the area.

Hello Sarah,
I have so enjoyed reading your blogs. My oldest daughter lives in Colorado Springs & I’ve been blessed to visit many places. I also was surprised to learn that Yellowstone was a volcano. There is so much history in our country. I’ve also attended my first rodeo last summer in C S & they also opened with prayer. God is so good & faithdful to all of us. I look forward to reading your upcoming blogs. I’ll be praying for your trip to Arizona.
