Sounds like a plan! My oldest has severe delays in her speech as well so I know where you're coming from. (hers were genetic). This is our 2nd year with MFW and we LOVE it! She's not a worksheet type person so it works. She struggles with putting her words into sentences to summarize things but can ...

Hi! I have four kiddos. This is our first year with 2 grades but we've also added a baby to the mix. I've learned something recently that has truly saved my sanity. Forget your preset schedule or time frame that you think school has to be done in each day (for me it was before lunch). Relax and get ...

we started with A last year and were in B by the end. Tested for this year and starting in B. We're moving quickly through the first few groups since she knows most of them. there have been a few she needed to practice so I figure it's good to go through and have the review. She is getting most of t...

Stick with the spelling power! My 9yo struggles with spelling. It thought we'd try a workbook format this year after using SP last year. After 2 weeks we have gone back to SP! I love how simple SP is. test on the words for 5 min. have them use the 10 steps to study and pick up where you left off the...

quaker makes oatmeal with "dino" eggs. I think they are just sugar or something lol the "eggs" melt and there's little dinos left behind.

I have a file crate with folders for each week. All student sheets are put in there for K and ECC. As we go through the year those are pulled and put into their individual folders. I have a small cabinet that has 2 shelves. 1 for kids and 1 for TM's and books I use to read to them etc. Their finishe...

Postby Ohmomjacquie » Thu Feb 28, 2013 10:10 pm Hi! We came from BJU last year which is nothing but worksheets/textbooks for most subjects. this year with MFW has been amazing! We are absolutely in love with MFW! All of my kids can sit and listen to the stories, do the crafts and activities and my ...

We are using adventures year round. Started in july, three weeks on, one off. All of december off. We will finish mid may. It hadn't caused any issues. The science projects can be done any time of year. There are some christmas related things but there weren't re wally any issues with that either.

Psalm127mom wrote:I wanted to know what issues, if any, might arise if I use the new student sheets for Adventures with the previous edition (I believe first) teacher's manual.

We did this for this year. The first edition has the student sheets in back other than the state sheets. No issues though.

Hi everyone. Does Adventures have student Q & A sheets for science? Nope. The first science sheet I've seen is coming up this week for week 20 and a seed growing observation. There is a short description in the tm about writing things down for the experiments like what you did, what happened and wh...

thanks ladies! I think we will go ahead and try singapore! After thinking about it and looking at other things I realized that all of mfw suggestions we've loved so far so I should trust them on this one as well

Cards are displayed under our timeline in the order we hve studied them. That way she can look at them whenever she wants.

A year ago I made a similar post. We has used workbook based curriculum. [ http://board.mfwbooks.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3745&p=84394#p84354 ] Our first year was rough to say the least. This is our third year and first with mfw. It has been such a blessing for us! I can not tell you what to do as fa...

Hello, all! We have wanted to homeschool for years but are finally ready to take the plunge. I really love the way MFW is presented and have hopes of using it either starting this spring or fall. My 2 daughters are bored senseless in public school. They are 7 (2nd grader currently) and 9 (current 3...

I was wondering, is it possible to combine K (age 5) and ECC? What I was wondering, could I use the ECC for both students for the Bible, History, Science, Geography etc... and then just use age/level-appropriate math and LA? I would imagine you could. We will be using both next year. My younger two...

Wondering if the bible portion used in Adventures is enough for personal bible study for a second grade boy? We do the adventures bible stuff but then as a family before bed we do a bible story with everyone. That's just us though. My dd doesn't do any other independent bible other than when she wa...

I purchased this after the first term of our school year because my oldest has expressed an interest in learning about US history and the presidents. We have been following the classical model outlined in TWTM so this is a bit of a departure for me but satisfies an interest led spirit for my son. A...

Hi everyone. I am new her. I am really leaning towards MFW for next year but am unsure of placement. DS will be 6. He is a bit accelerated and will have finished 1st grade. I think Adventures would be a good fit for DS. And it looks FUN. I am unsure about DD. I want to keep the LA and math and pdnm...

Hi! My oldest is only in third grade do I'm not much help with older kids. Just wanted to share though. We used bju distance learning last year and other workbook formats the year before. This year with mfw has been amazing. We don't have the arguments over school and she actually enjoys it! She is ...

So the Family cycle is a chronological study of history right? So what if your first child is ready for it, but your second child can't start for two more years? Do you go ahead and start your oldest anyways, and just let your youngest jump in halfway through history? Do you finish the cycle, then ...

I could have written your pos 2 years ago when m dd was in first! Every day was a struggle. She literally sat at the table ALL morning one day completely refusing to read ( and we had done this every day so nothing new) It was terrible! I had so many days I was ready to throw in the towel! We made i...

My daughter has gotten very down when it comes to friends. We have gotten her into sports like gymnastics and soccer, we do co-op and keepers at home. Then if there is a girl she his it off with we try yo set up a date to let them play. I like the co-op and other ideas you have. I also agree that yo...

Does she like crafts? My e eight year old does latch hook and other crafts. When she is notes I have her get those out for something to do.

Oh I know expressive delay all too well. My oldest didn't talk until 4.5 after surgery to fix an anatomical problem. She would try but only got vowel sounds. It has taken a lot of learning on my part with how to remember her pasted and accommodate her with school things. She has a hats time giving s...

I got a frontier laminate last christmas. So much better than goin to staples and spending a fortune.
