...what you mean. It would be better to complete projects at one sitting. I could have them color the timeline figures and do their study cards at home, for sure, and do some short reports.

:-) I'm glad it is coming together for you! [NT] - cellomom - 11:18:05 AM on 07/07/2012

Thanks for your help. I am hard-headed sometimes. LOL [NT] - Punkinelly - 11:31:47 AM on 07/07/2012

Have you considered - Holly - 8:33:20 PM on 07/06/2012

I really cannot afford to buy *anything* right now. I already have..... - Punkinelly - 11:26:06 PM on 07/06/2012

I'll think about your suggestions, ladies.... - Punkinelly - 5:42:35 PM on 07/06/2012
If I remember correctly, MOH is scheduled weekly. - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 8:05:39 PM on 07/05/2012

I've used MoH with my kids, and there is more than a lesson per week scheduled. - Punkinelly - 9:20:14 PM on 07/05/2012

I guess I meant: - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 9:26:02 PM on 07/05/2012

You do 3 per week. [NT] - Punkinelly - 9:26:24 PM on 07/05/2012

Ok, that clarifies it for me. - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 9:29:14 PM on 07/05/2012

OK, good. Thanks! - Punkinelly - 9:30:33 PM on 07/05/2012

Yes, I think so. - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 9:34:12 PM on 07/05/2012

How much do they expect you to cover? [NT] - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 6:35:00 AM on 07/05/2012

I see you've posted more info down below. Sorry! [NT] - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 6:36:49 AM on 07/05/2012

No, I don't know how much to cover, but I thought I'd... - Punkinelly - 7:57:31 AM on 07/05/2012

What kind of history? - cellomom - 12:07:54 AM on 07/05/2012

World history that includes Bible history (MoH) Yes, I can give homework. - Punkinelly - 7:59:25 AM on 07/05/2012

I don't like the idea of sending projects home to finish. - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 7:56:14 PM on 07/05/2012

I think it will depend on the projects, but I see.... - Punkinelly - 9:22:01 PM on 07/05/2012

That sounds good! [NT] - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 9:26:31 PM on 07/05/2012

MOH has some great ideas in the activities section for various ages. - cellomom - 2:16:08 PM on 07/05/2012

Yeah, some of the craft ideas are just not that exciting... - Punkinelly - 2:26:31 PM on 07/05/2012

Sidenote - my kids still look at the little topic books we made (we used the Big Book of Books for a while..... - Birgit - 1:50:40 PM on 07/06/2012

Adding on here...my kids still look at the little books and paper things they made for Considering God's Creation! I was - Leigh Ann - 3:58:24 PM on 07/06/2012

Thanks, I am glad to hear it! [NT] - Punkinelly - 11:26:26 PM on 07/06/2012

Have you joined the Yahoo group for that volume? Those have some helpful suggestions! [NT] - Leigh Ann - 4:58:50 PM on 07/05/2012

Oh, good idea! Thanks! [NT] - Punkinelly - 5:53:04 PM on 07/05/2012

ok...how much time would you spend on this? One week, and then send home or more time? [NT] - cellomom - 3:48:07 PM on 07/05/2012

I'll have the kids for an hour and a half each week, one day each week. - Punkinelly - 5:52:48 PM on 07/05/2012

That's really not much time! :( - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 6:19:56 PM on 07/05/2012

I know, but they are elementary, so.... - Punkinelly - 7:51:11 PM on 07/05/2012

As a parent, I would rather a co-op teacher hit the highlights to solidify what we've done at home, and - cellomom - 8:21:11 PM on 07/05/2012

That would put the teaching on the parent, then, which is what I am supposed to do. - Punkinelly - 9:23:25 PM on 07/05/2012

No, I think you would introduce all of the topics that would be covered that week. - cellomom - 9:53:05 PM on 07/05/2012

Were you planning to read the lessons in class? They are so short. - cellomom - 11:18:52 AM on 07/06/2012

Yes. I mean, if I don't read the lesson first, how will.... - Punkinelly - 1:27:55 PM on 07/06/2012

Are they actually expecting you to cover everything about a core subject in 1 1/2 hrs - Birgit - 1:45:56 PM on 07/06/2012

No, they are not... - Punkinelly - 5:36:08 PM on 07/06/2012

See, I would never read a lesson in class. You don't really mean read it, right? - cellomom - 1:33:18 PM on 07/06/2012

Tell my Dh's company that! He recently went for training and the instructor - Angie in VA - 1:39:28 PM on 07/06/2012

That is so public school!!! [NT] - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 11:10:44 PM on 07/06/2012

I had that happen in a college class. O.o [NT] - Punkinelly - 11:27:25 PM on 07/06/2012

Even a poor reading helps it sink in, even though I don't think it's the best way. - cellomom - 1:41:34 PM on 07/06/2012

See, that doesn't sound like how MoH is set up. - Punkinelly - 7:45:36 AM on 07/06/2012

oops. that was supposed to be here. - cellomom - 11:20:57 AM on 07/06/2012

I see. LOL [NT] - Punkinelly - 1:28:24 PM on 07/06/2012

I'm totally with you! - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 8:24:34 PM on 07/05/2012

We'd do the projects in class after I teach the lesson.... - Punkinelly - 9:25:52 PM on 07/05/2012

I think we are all saying the same thing! [NT] - cellomom - 9:54:58 PM on 07/05/2012

I thought you were saying to do the project in class.... - Punkinelly - 7:46:45 AM on 07/06/2012

well, I probably said a bunch of things. We've actually used 3 volumes of MOH. - cellomom - 11:17:48 AM on 07/06/2012

Sorry if I have made this confusing. LOL [NT] - Punkinelly - 9:27:31 PM on 07/05/2012

I'm just super tired! [NT] - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 9:29:56 PM on 07/05/2012

You had a busy day! (((Sherry))) [NT] - Punkinelly - 9:30:56 PM on 07/05/2012

That sounds good. That's how I would envision it! [NT] - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 9:27:29 PM on 07/05/2012

Oh, good! Sorry, I was probably unclear. It has been a stressful day.... - Punkinelly - 9:29:49 PM on 07/05/2012

I **totally** understand what you mean. - Sherry (Bowlsby) - 9:32:39 PM on 07/05/2012

Thanks, Sherry! I needed that hug and understanding. :o) [NT] - Punkinelly - 9:34:19 PM on 07/05/2012
