42:47
So glad to hear y’all are well!

42:50
Thank you! And is instructor support available at any time -- if we begin a recorded course in the summer, are instructors available if we need them?

42:51
Are there art class in the unlimited access?

43:11
@Lorrice, yes, Instructor Access is available anytime.

43:39
The Murder Mystery course was wonderful the last few weeks.

49:11
My kids LOVE her classes!! She's wonderful! <3

53:15
It is really hard to hear.

53:40
Sound is clear here!

53:42
It’s fine for me.

53:44
we are getting loud, clear audio here

56:55
How many students are in each grade/class?

57:03
10 to 25

57:19
vg

57:34
ujhnb,mk

58:34
What would be the complementing class that older children could take with Phillip? We have middle school children as well.

59:27
with elementary and middle grades using the same books, how do you scale the learning for the students?

59:44
Phillip Campbell is teaching Medieval history live in the 2020/2021 school year if you’d like your middle or high school student to learn the same era as your grade school child at the same time.

01:00:46
Grade school assignments are designed so that you can adjust homework based on skill level.

01:00:57
is it a living book? and do you do Socratic discussion in class?

01:02:09
Thank you.

01:02:22
Is the 2019-20 year on Ancient Civilization already available as a recorded class?

01:02:56
Do you find 30 mins is enough time?

01:03:02
Yes. The Fall semester is ready. The spring semester will be ready July 15.

01:03:06
Does Phillip teach Middle School?

01:03:16
I am doing program now and finished the ancient and looking to do medieval

01:03:16
Yes he does.

01:03:17
yes

01:03:24
and also high school

01:03:53
how is it different online if we already own all 4 of the Story of Civilization

01:04:16
I own all 4 as well

01:04:26
My daughter loved the lives of the saints course

01:05:13
hard to see this

01:06:37
we had lots of fun with the st. joseph poem

01:07:59
<3 <3<3 My daughter!!!

01:09:16
Do you provide a rubric for parents to use for grading writing assignments?

01:09:38
is it I E W

01:09:43
No

01:10:03
so you aren't teaching "how to write" or writing basics?

01:10:41
yes - 30 minutes is plenty

01:11:12
Student submission: how much is handwritten/drawn, and how much is typed/digital input?

01:11:32
Is there a class for learning how to write for elementary children? How about elementary grammar?

01:12:24
Can you give the True North info again?

01:13:05
YES! We have definitely not found our rhythm in the grammar/writing arena.

01:13:08
what's the cost of the program for grade school?

01:14:33
First Language Lessons is a wonderful grammar program for elementary students.

01:14:38
@ashley www.truenorthreading.com

01:15:25
Wendy, I was just reading about First Language Lessons today in The Well-Trained Mind! I’m going to get the level 1 for my daughter.

01:16:16
@Maria C. the cost is $259 for each 13-week course live if you register by July 15.

01:16:16
About how much time per day for assignments?

01:16:25
Reading comprension?

01:16:37
We are about to start American history next year... would it be best to just wait for the recorded in a few years?

01:16:50
can you go through a typical day? what it would look like?

01:16:53
if more than one student in family would like to participate, do they all enroll? If not, who presents each week?

01:16:55
Does HSC offer a math course for these grade levels? (or at least sixth grade)?

01:16:55
Could this program be used as a supplement to other academic course work?

01:17:00
Maybe give an example of what the week would look like

01:17:09
So it covers: Lit., History, Poetry, Art History, and has projects . . . do you tap into these different areas now and then throughout the weeks, but not each each one during each class?

01:17:16
What do you do for science?

01:17:20
HSC offers math starting with Saxon 5/4

01:17:24
visually impairwhat file formats are your instructions/documents in?

01:17:40
what file formats, sorry.

01:17:44
didn’t realize it offers science? what kind?

01:17:55
Would you say we could do this + math and would be all set?

01:18:29
@Fecundus This + math +phonics (if needed)

01:18:37
Catherine, I have used that program for three kids and I am currently using it with my fourth child. I have found it to be just the right balance of everything.

01:18:49
Would you say we could do this + math and be all set for the semester?

01:18:56
Thank you for answering. Wonderful!

01:19:32
thanks!

01:20:18
how long are the classes and is science offered and what kind?

01:20:36
The 2020/2021 course catalog also has all of these details. We can include a link to the catalog with our follow up email after this webinar.

01:20:46
What is OUaTS??

01:20:50
Same as above - What kind of science is offered?

01:21:06
Thanks.

01:21:08
haha - level one week!

01:21:55
maybe it’s the battery

01:22:06
so I saw roots up--is that Latin Roots? and science also?

01:23:57
Terri, there are Latin and Greek roots

01:25:43
Do you provide additional, supplementary videos, resources, etc. within the weekly plans?

01:26:03
my kids enjoyed different students' insights into same materials

01:26:11
Mine definitely love seeing their work highlighted!

01:26:47
thanks.

01:27:00
by older child you mean the 6 th grade not middle schooler?

01:28:01
no

01:28:02
yes

01:28:12
yes but have not tried it yet but would want to try it

01:29:24
I need a lot of help with this book of centuries.

01:29:57
I have this but used only a little bit

01:30:09
I did this with my kids and loved it. It really helped them retain their lessons.

01:30:27
Is there one you can purchase pre-made?

01:30:30
YES!

01:30:53
video on book of centuries would be great

01:30:58
Ours looks different so far . . . basically a page for each century, and we write down the book titles/people’s names/events/poets/etc. . . and the specific year on that page of that century.

01:31:04
I agree, Valerie!

01:31:11
I have some free downloadable templates at maureenwittmann.com

01:31:32
I think making your own gives it more flexibility for moving things around, so you’re not stuck with a particular format

01:31:57
ME!

01:32:07
me!

01:32:09
12yr old

01:32:26
Yes!

01:32:46
pre teen

01:33:08
Benefit of live vs. recorded?

01:33:34
Thanks! Sorry have to leave.

01:33:55
you can add materials for older middle school

01:34:18
what is the unlimited price?

01:34:29
where do you recommend to look for the Roots up book? couldn’t find it in online stores (we’re in Mexico)

01:34:31
@Roopa $34.97/month

01:34:56
@Fecundus check bookfinder.com

01:35:02
do we need a separate grammar curriculum too

01:35:07
can two kids enroll? I will have a third and fifth

01:35:11
already did, no luck

01:35:30
Does the Unlimited Access also allow viewing the syllabus for the program?

01:35:34
I did not catch the science answer. Is there a text used for science?

01:35:51
is it inadvisable to enroll siblings of similar age in the same course?

01:35:59
can a child jump into year two without doing year one?

01:36:03
@Fecundus check homeschool used sites. Or try the Homeschool Connections Parents Facebook Group

01:36:08
If you are part of the Unlimited Access, do you have access to the Grade school program or is this a separate enrollment?

01:36:23
great, thanks!

01:36:33
@2255 Yes! You do not need Year One to learn Year Two.

01:36:51
@Annette Yes, Part One is now available through UA

01:37:06
Can this program be used as a supplement to academic courses currently using for these subject matters?

01:37:21
what is a living book?

01:37:42
SO much better than a text!

01:38:01
It makes it accessible

01:38:04
so you assign reading in the science living books?

01:38:08
what were the titles again? can u send please

01:38:08
AND I enjoy it so much more as well.

01:38:17
engage the heart, not just the mind

01:38:18
So which science living books will be for this next year?

01:38:22
For the Love of Literature ;-)

01:38:54
when the whole family is doing this how does the live class work?

01:38:59
Let us pray our libraries open again soon!

01:39:16
have this

01:39:45
is there a list of books that we will need to purchase that we can look at before making the decision to join

01:40:08
@Terri Yes, the book list is in the catalog and also on the registration page.

01:40:16
Do recorded sessions provide feedback on work?

01:41:00
Yay for discounts!

01:41:01
:-)

01:41:02
HUGE!!!!!

01:41:05
I love how flexible this program is - level of individual students, how much you want to dive into extras, or if you miss an assignment, due to family stuff, it's not a big deal!

01:41:08
How do we get that discount?

01:41:08
you mentioned levels just now-will there be different groups based on grade? for example, 3rd grade grouped together?

01:41:13
Do UA students get the discounts?

01:41:17
Will they also give the discount to folks using the recorded course w/Unlimited?

01:41:20
wow! where do we find them?

01:41:27
Did you say that discount is for NEWLY enrolled students?

01:41:47
Would that discount apply continually?

01:42:08
how much overall time does it take for all these subjects?

01:42:34
I mean online how long does it take for them per day?

01:43:26
Is the True North Reading part of Homeschool Connections?

01:43:29
online is the class time, plus 15 minutes for quizzes

01:43:41
What about the four year cycle being out of order if we missed year one?

01:44:08
@Amy no True North Reading is not part of HSC. However, the creator of True North also created HSC’s writing program.

01:44:11
I contacted TAN when ordering a few weeks ago to order TSOC Volume 1. We are doing Year 1 in recorded UA. No discounts.

01:44:56
If I want to do ancients next year, would I sign up for the unlimited access and would I only miss the live session?

01:44:59
@Karen TAN offers a 40% off a few times a year to anyone.

01:44:59
i add catechism for religion, grammar and math

01:45:04
The sample pages are too tiny to see. Is there a way to get an enlarged sample weekly program. I want to see if my 8th grader needs more or would be covered.

01:45:26
@Karen they are offering the discount for the live courses.Email us for the coupon code. Also, look for their 40% off sales — TAN runs those several times a year.

01:45:38
amy K if you are on mobile device like me try rotating your screen

01:45:52
Thank you for the sample page!

01:46:28
last one online how long does the student spend in front of computer?

01:46:49
I have to go unfortunately, but thank you so much for all this information. It was very helpful! I’m so grateful for you all! God bless!

01:46:59
how to fit even more subjects? Feeling like there isn’t enough hrs in the day

01:47:59
@Maribee Fridays are free. This is based on a 4-day week.

01:48:03
Do we need to have done year one before joining year two?

01:48:09
any recommendations on how to get a flexible routine with a large family?

01:49:34
also does each child have their own “book of centuries”?

01:49:55
should each child make their own BOS?

01:50:08
what is b o s

01:51:43
Are teacher grades given at the end of the year?

01:51:54
3 years of now, will we be able to get every year?

01:51:55
BOC - Book of Centuries

01:52:08
also if using Unlimited access do we get syllubus with it?

01:52:14
thank you so much for the information. I appreciate it. I have to go unfortunately.

01:52:14
I have to go...but am sold:)

01:52:36
TAN also has sales throughout the year, 40% off to general public too

01:54:47
:-)

01:55:18
are you going to cover the election?

01:55:56
Thoughts on jumping into the program this fall as a sixth grader?? Since we wouldn't be in the program for multiple years?

01:56:20
great, thanks

01:56:25
We are currently unlimited access users for our older children…can the grade school courses be used as a full curriculum? Or are they just supplemental classes? If so, what courses should I include on home on our own?

01:56:36
yes, I’m on the group, I’ll try that

01:56:45
definitely

01:57:00
what is the cost of enrollment??

01:57:09
is the entire group in the Monday meeting together or do you have them broken up by grade/age groups

01:57:32
since Dakotah will be the primary teacher next year, and he is blind (uses a screen reader) who should we talk to for accessibility questions?

01:57:39
When will this session's recording be available? (Sorry if you already answered this!)

01:58:01
@Ellen tomorrow

01:58:03
@Ellen, it will be sent out tonight.

01:58:09
Thanks!

01:58:13
@Maureen, :)

02:00:27
how much does it cost to enroll for the grade school program for one student? Is there any difference if you're also part of the U/A program?

02:00:46
thank you

02:00:57
The price for the live, interactive course is $259 for 13 weeks

02:01:26
@ Annette UA is a separate program and it does not affect the price of live courses.

02:01:37
Is the grade school curriculum a full 3-5th grade curriculum? Or are there still courses(outside of homeschool connections) that need to be added to supplement?

02:01:41
Is the group class chaotic or relatively manageable as far as people focusing while teaching or discussion is going on? (Former classroom teacher here!!!) :)

02:02:31
BRILIANTE!

02:03:02
I had no clue that happens! Love it!!

02:03:50
handwriting?

02:04:17
my 12 year old has been learning from recorded courses for 2 years and from what I’ve seen all the teachers and kids are amazing, everyone is engaged

02:04:18
Ok thank you!!

02:04:28
Thanks for the info!

02:04:37
How would I know if my student is ready for the creative writing class?

02:04:37
cost for live program?

02:04:42
So Mondays are discussion of past week, then do most ppl start the new week's work on Tuesday?

02:04:45
This was fabulous and very informative! Thank you so much!

02:04:58
what program do you use for the live course meetings?

02:05:02
so which grade school classes are available now un the UA catalog?

02:05:16
Will all 3 session times on Mondays be identical?

02:05:39
@Ellen Yes, pick the time that works best for you

02:05:48
Great - thanks.

02:06:06
Thank you so much for hosting this. I have to go. I have really enjoyed this. Thank you.

02:06:08
@Nicole, the Ancient Era is going into the Recorded Course Catalog for 2020/2021.

02:06:34
@Stacy $259 for 13-week semester live

02:06:45
Thank you!

02:07:00
Could Middle school courses ever count as high school credit?

02:07:17
Ellen - yes - all 3 sections identical

02:07:33
thank you

02:07:46
So happy to get questions answered. Thank you!

02:07:51
Thank you and God bless you all.

02:07:51
Looks wonderful! God bless the endeavor. Looking forward to doing Ancient History recorded next year...just did Medieval with the kids this year. Loved your Living History with Literature courses this year!!

02:07:54
Thanks.

02:08:09
thank you, it’s all amazing!

02:08:34
Does the live class provide grading like a report card?

02:08:36
we can only aubmit teacher-graded assignments for one student?

02:09:00
if we have more students, can we use your grading rubric to grade our other kids ourselves?

02:10:05
I apologize for needing to join this meeting late, so you may have already answered this... the third session in May that extends beyond the typical Homeschool Connections calendar - is that to fit in the entire curriculum which requires more weeks, or is are those last few weeks an optional enrichment?

02:10:11
We have 2 enrolled kids in unlimited access for $40/mo

02:10:21
Both - @ Elleh

02:11:13
Got it - thank you! :)

02:11:14
Amen to brain shutting down lol!

02:11:31
Thanks!

02:11:33
Thank you very much!

02:11:43
Great. Thank you!

02:11:55
This looks great - thank you to all!

02:12:15
thank you

02:12:22
Thank you!

02:12:30
Thank you!

02:12:31
Thank you
