Q: Where does most of Canada's population live? Why?
A: Within 100 miles of the US border; the climate is less harsh than in northern regions.

The correct answer is that most Canadians live within 100 miles of Canada's southern border. This may seem minor, and one might accept the...

I'm not here very often, and in fact these sorts of concerns caused me to step away from MP as the mainstay of my children's education, so take what I say with several grains of salt & weight it against your experience.

I've found that the analysis element of MP's programs is not at...

Tahara, it is wonderful to hear from you! I'm so glad your children are well and are finding their various ways in the world.

You know, I'm forever indebted to you for sharing (many years ago!) your concerns & problems with Waldorf-style education. It helped me make the full commitment...

... I was passing by, and felt isnpired to add to the list of emoji-uses: I think that I use emojis because my handwriting isn't visible. There seems to be something about the speed at which online speech is read, the brevity expected, and the lack of handwriting -- with the physical sense of personality...

He needs the review. 😉 His vocabulary is definitely not solid, and I think his grammar forms aren't, either. He does have a good understanding of the grammatical principles, though.

He's doing the vocab Anki entry himself. He might end up doing the grammar, too. !!!

BUT...

Thanks for answering!

Hoo boy, that would be great review. However, I am not up to synopses with this child (hope to keep pace my younger one, and then I could do synopses).

Is there a list of synopses somewhere in the Form Latin materials that I could plug into his flashcard/Anki...

Yes, super helpful! and thank you also for the link to the audio for Fagles' Aeneid.

I have one more question (hope that's all!) for y'all, if you don't mind. At this level, if the child knows the grammar forms from the flashcards, and can answer the grammar questions, is it also important...

Glad it was helpful! I do wish that either the cover matched the interior, or -- much better -- the interior matched the cover.

idloveto -- Wonderful! I'm really glad you have a plan that feels strong & do-able, with the benefit of simplicity that comes from doing Christian Studies in the order for which it was designed. And, just as you say, beginning at the beginning.

The Golden Children's Bible has illustrations...

I think others will have better general guidance than I do, but I relate to your Christian Studies question (though my situation isn't identical to yours). For a priority of building a heart for the Lord, often people do Christian Studies with the whole family as read-and-discuss, look at the maps...

Hi, Jessica!

Thanks so much for your help! It is a gift to benefit from your experience (don't you say to not let the "ideal" become an "idol"? that's been floating -- very helpfully! -- around my mind these past couple of weeks).

And especially thanks for...

Hi! I'd be very grateful for help in setting up a Latin grammar review for my older child this summer. He is 15yo and will be entering 10th grade in the fall.

He has had First, Second, and most of Third Form Latin, and then we switched him to the Oxford Latin series which he's just completed...

Hi! In going over the Chapter 5 lesson of First Form Latin, I noticed that the "calceus" is defined & illustrated as a "men's sandal". I'm pretty sure that, at least in the Rome of antiquity, "calceus" is a word that definitely means a type of shoe with leather that...

Dianna, you have received wonderful responses.

There is also this: Because Greek theater is worth studying, and there's no way that MP would schedule the comedies.

I ended up getting at least one of them on Kindle (here's the Kindle page with Milly Molly Mandy) while we were traveling a while ago; and two are at Rainbow Resource....
