Re: K badges question
I laminated them and put a piece of magnet strip on the back. I have a canvas pocket name badge holder from Staples. It fits in perfectly. I figured she could wear it and when it's time for the next one she can put it on the fridge. If she decides not to wear it, it can still go on the fridge and be...

Writing - How much in ECC?
I have a future 3rd and 6th grader. How much writing is actually involved in the program, and what kind of writing is it, report writing, summaries, written narrations, copywork (excluding Writing strands, PLL, ILL or any other writing not included in the basic package)? I adjusted the writing in E...

Writing
I'm needing a little help with teaching/encouraging writing for my 4th grade dd. She doesn't have a problem with copy work. She isn't having problems with the writing in Language Lessons, but the lessons are usually shorter. It is only when she has come up with things to write for herself, she does...

Re: Singapore 1B
We're in the same place in 1B, having those same issues. I've been thinking We'll just continue on. As another poster mentioned, I think we need a break from it. And it seems there is a bit of overlap and continued review in the books to follow. I think my older DD had these same issues a few years ...

Audio stories
I just discovered this great site called Audio Kids. All audio stories you can download right to your computer. Lots of free ones available. I found many I would've liked to use for ECC last year. There are many classics as well. There may just be some here from our book basket list to kind of break...

We did love the picture books in ECC.

I have recently started getting books from the other recommended book list in the ...

My 4th grade DD did just about all of the packet on her own. But it was something she enjoyed and did it while I was working with younger DS.
