You're welcome!

The edition that I show in this video has the works of art printed right on the pages of the book. No need to purchase any print cards. Hope this helps!

Hi there, The editions that I show in my videos all contain the artwork directly on the pages of the book. Hope this helps!

Thank you!​@@carolinescurriculumcorner466

You're welcome! Glad to help! 🙂

You can purchase the lab kit from Nature's Workshop Plus. There used to be more options, but since this is an older edition of the book, the lab kits are harder to find now. www.workshopplus.com/products/physical-science-lab-kit If you are using a newer edition of the book, you can also find the lab kits at christianbook.com or Home Science Tools.

Having the teacher guide/answer key makes checking the work so much easier, so yes, I recommend getting it. Some of the words are more difficult, and I would personally have a hard time knowing which answer was correct on my own.

If you are asking concerning Saxon math, I would go with Saxon 1, 2, or 3 depending on the child and where they are at in their math skills. You can take the placement test online to see which book would be best for them. :)

The only issue that came up for my daughter was when concepts were reviewed from previous books. Most of these review sections were fine, but some were a little different than how she had learned them. I just had her solve the problems in the way she had learned them. It really wasn't that big of a deal. Hope this helps!

I agree!

I love it. I'm so glad Latin is being taught again, and children's books being translated into Latin. Latin is important because it is the basis of French, Spanish, Italian, and of much of English. Its grammatical complexity imparts discipline of thought and eloquence. But this doesn't mean it can't be fun. Indeed, after the Minimus books, pupils can move on to the Latin editions of Asterix the Gaul, and to Winnie ille Pu and Ursus nomine Paddington😊

Just bought my copy!😊

Of the programs that I have seen personally, I would go with either Prima Latina (intended for grades 1-4) or Latina Christiana (intended for grades 3-5) from Memoria Press, depending on your student and what you think they can handle. You can check out samples of the first chapter of each of these on their website to see which would be better for your student to start with. Even though Prima Latina is for grades 1-4, it is a simpler introduction than Latina Christiana, which might be difficult for some kids to just jump into. I hope this helps!

You're very welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful for you! 🙂

I'm sorry that it's been such a long time since I last posted. Life is so busy! We are still going strong with our homeschooling, working our way through high school now with my daughter (going into 11th this coming school year!), and my son will be going into 7th grade. In some ways it's easier as they get older because they can work more independently, and in other ways it's harder, because I have to be able to teach/help with higher math and science!

Hi there, If there are pages missing in my student workbooks in this video, it is probably because I tore out some of the lessons. The pages are perforated, so they can easily be removed if you wish. 🙂

You're welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful for you!

In the younger levels, we usually didn't use every one of the worksheets. We did one worksheet per day, with the test on Friday. I always made sure we did the Systematic Review sheets though, since those ones review the previous lessons. In the high school levels, I do have my daughter do every single worksheet (so she does do more than one per day sometimes) so she gets more practice on the harder concepts. I think they include so many worksheets so that in case your child has difficulty with the topic, there are options to spread the lesson out longer and get more practice (which I have done occasionally). I hope this helps!

Hi there🙂You can use this record page in whatever way works best for you. Like you said, keeping a score like 16/20 would work fine, or else just put a checkmark in each box to show that the work was done. I personally didn't use this page with my daughter, but I know there are some who like to keep a record of all the work done by their student. 😊

Thank you so much!!@@carolinescurriculumcorner466

Hey there 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! I also love seeing what everyone else is using for their homeschool. RUclips videos have helped me find curriculum that I have actually ended up using and enjoying! I hope you guys have a great homeschool year! ☺

@@carolinescurriculumcorner466 definitely so helpful to learn what others do. So thankful for resources like RUclips!

We used classical pronunciation from the beginning, so this worked fine for us. :)

Hi there! I don't have a physical copy of this book to look at right now (I've passed it along to another homeschool family), but if I remember correctly, the masters are found toward the beginning of the Teacher's Edition book. You can make copies of the masters pages and use them for the lessons that they are needed for. Hope this helps! :)

You're welcome!

Thank you for sharing! I love hearing about everyone's curriculum they are using!

You're welcome!

Apologia recommends using this book in 7th grade. I would recommend this book for an advanced 6th grader, or for a 7th or 8th grader.

We found it to advanced for our child who turned 11 in November, but about right for our child who turned 13 in August.

@@carolinescurriculumcorner466 so I'm guessing in the Scottish school system that would be approximately equivalent to primary 7 or 1st or 2nd year of secondary school. Or years 7,8 and 9 in the English system. Ages 11, 12 or 13?

​@@joanner1427 I would generally recommend this for 12-14 year olds. If your child is advanced, then it could be used at 11 years old. My daughter used this curriculum when she was 12, and it worked well for her.

@@carolinescurriculumcorner466 yes I aggree it worked well last year for my son who was 13 last August when we begun . I was just trying to work out how American grades sit against British school years, it always confuses me! So guess is may be actually be closer to Scottish: 1st, 2nd and 3rd secondary school. English 8, 9 and 10. Ages : 12, 13 and 14! Maybey for kids planing to do exams they could do it alongside a key stage 3/iGcse text book to give the Christian perspective. But great as a stand alone course of course! We love the hands on activities and used 2 of the more basic topic based books for our 11 year old daughter last year, also very good!

You're welcome!

Hi Rachel, A is for 4th grade, B is for 5th grade, and C is for 6th grade.

⁠@@carolinescurriculumcorner466 Could you start with level b without doing A first? I have a 5th grader.

@@jessicajordan4222 Absolutely! There's no need to do Level A first.

Hi Lisa, My daughter did very well using this program. Math U See uses the mastery approach, meaning the student learns a topic very well before moving on to a new topic. There are 30 lessons in the book, each lesson taking about a week to finish, although you could take as long as you need for each lesson for the student to master it before moving on.

@@carolinescurriculumcorner466 Thank you so much, I will definitely go with mus. It will be my first time and would love to cont all the way. Thanks again🙋‍♀️📚

You're welcome!

Yes, it does! :)

@@carolinescurriculumcorner466 Thank you!

I actually love Song School Latin 1 and 2. Learning Latin through the songs and chants really helps the words and phrases stick. I still can sing many of the songs and chants even though it's been years since we used the books. They are intended for early elementary grades though, so your student might think it is too babyish for them. If so, then I would recommend starting with Prima Latina, especially if you will be learning the ecclesiastical pronounciation.

Yes, we plan to continue using Saxon with my son. I personally really like the Saxon method, but it doesn't mean that other math programs are bad or won't work. What grade level are you using with your daughter right now? I have always customized the lessons, whether they be the K-3 level or the above, to have the student be doing about half of the work that the curriculum wants them to do. My son currently does the odd numbers of Saxon 65. In the K-3 levels, we only did one side of the worksheet each day, not both.

Thanks for replying to my message. We are doing 7/6. I just saw that some people do even or odd problems. I’m going to try that. I really like Saxon and is the only program I’ve seen to be more comprehensive and goes all the way to high school. Thank you!

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

If you don't mind the ecclesiastical pronounciation (on the CD/DVDs), I would start with Prima Latina. Have a great day! 😃

You're welcome! 🙂

You're welcome! 🙂

We completed the course, and it went very well. It was perfect for where my son was at. He would have had a hard time doing it in 3rd grade, but for 4th grade, it was great. We are planning on doing the Continuation Course Level A this school year. :)

You're welcome!

Yes, I do.

@@carolinescurriculumcorner466 Have you looked at the updated version (3rd edition) and have any thoughts on it? We've not used it yet, but are considering the older version over the newer one. Just wanted to get your take on it.

You're welcome!

Thank you! I'm so glad if it was helpful for you!

I used the 1-5 boxed set with cassettes because someone had given them to me (we didn't use the cassettes though, just the other components). You can check out the latest version at www.hookedonphonics.com. It has full-color workbooks and a fun app.

I haven't noticed a huge difference between the editions that I have used, except that there are more lessons in the newer edition.

I'm so glad this was helpful for you! I hope it works out well for your daughter this coming school year!

I usually use whatever edition I can find - sometimes it's an older edition, sometimes it's the latest edition. :)

I was able to teach all of these books with just the worktext and the answer key. They do a pretty good job of explaining things right in the textbook. Very rarely, I looked something up online.
