I just finalized what we are doing for next year. We are still on summer break until after our move next month. I ordered 1st grade for the last time for "the baby". And I also ordered US 2 for my oldest! Because of how we did her Jr high years she only needs Algebra 2 to graduate but will...

Thanks for your reply.

There are a few consumable items in each highschool year but the majority of the package can be reused each year.

Very Excited about the new WSFT! Do you know if they will make a change for 7/8th grade any time soon?

Also, what is the new recommendation for foreign language since I see RS isn't offered anymore?

Why did you begin homeschooling and is it the reason you continue? I began homeschooling because my husband had just graduated from college and we knew we would be accepting a pastorate somewhere mid-year. We loved it so much we just kept doing it. I thought when we finally settled down somewhere we...

A different kind of answer. My DD takes about 5-8 hours to finish an AHL day She moves slowly and prefers to "stretch school out all day." She starts around 9 and finishes around supper time. She could finish faster but she doesnt want to. Its not her style I guess.

One thing I do is write out everyones individual work for the week in my grid, in a different color. I love frixon erasable pens for this! Then I copy that grid in color and hand out to each kid! For my 7th grader part of his assingments are on a second page for the 7/8 supplement in ECC. So I copy ...

We use page protectors. I prefer to prepare the binders in advance and also look through the grid to see if there is any self created pages (mainly done in year 4 and 5) and add sheets for that. So we are pretty open and go. :) I just did that this weekend and we used about 500 page protectors for 5...

We have had a great year. We have about 2 weeks left of 1850 to Mod and 1st grade. My DD finished her workbook from 1st. She's so proud! We are gearing up for next year with ECC, K and AHL!!

Hi all! I am considering using ECC next year for the first time with my 3 children. They will be in 7th, 5th and 2nd grade. I have read the info and that seems to be the recommended course to start with. I have concerns, though, that in 2 years, my oldest will start high school level without finish...

Let’s share with each other something about our month related to homeschool. You might share about things God is teaching you through your homeschool – How did He help you through a hard time, or give you new insights about your family? It doesn’t need to be long or fancy, just something from your ...

We were sorry to have missed you. Im glad that you were able to see the bright side. Who knows what God has in store for you at the next one!

I will be there.. So excited.

I heard 10 to 15 i thought

Welcome! Yes I agree with the previous posts. 1st is complete!

Thirding using MFW LA suggestions. I think you will find them simple enough to implement and very CM! On Math, no suggestions here. But a testimony. When we started with MFW I looked at Singapore and was so scared by it! It didnt make any sense. I went with another company and we all did fine. We to...

We started with Adventures for a 1st and 3rd grader. It was a perfect fit! ECC would have been too hard and overwhelming I think.

Phonics after 1st grade is covered by the Spelling suggestions like Tricia said. I also see a lot of instruction in the Language Lessons curriculum like there, their, and they're and too, to, two or adding "S" to make words plural. I choose to have my emergent readers read aloud to me 15 m...

Dawn did a great post on parenting that strong willed child, I just had to share.

I can share how "I" do more than one program together. Usually I start with the week before. I try to look over everything we have to do, get extra supplies (you know like cotton swabs or an ingredient we may not have), then I try to be sure all the student sheets are ready to go for the w...

I noticed that from 2nd grade on I need to pick Lang Arts curriculum for my ds. Has anyone used BJU press 2nd grade English after doing MFW K and 1st? I am just wondering how the transition went. I plan to take a look at scope and sequence of both later on but thought I'd put a feeler out for some ...

We are on week 9 of MOD and and 11 of 1st grade. Im giving my 1st grader a break from 1st. Note to Mama's considering starting K early, there will be a wall eventually. LOL. I should have waited or slowed K down. In Mod we are doing great. Taking a pretty even clip through it all. I wish I had more ...

Depends on the child and the subject. 3 to 5 sentences for a third,grader should be good. We usual discuss and take notes after a reading and I ask my kids to,make their pages from that outline. So for my 3rd grader I would ask him to make each point a sentence. For my then 5th I would ask those sen...

We have really liked it too. We have use PLL for the last 7 years on 3 different learners. I really like PLL but LLFT is really user friendly! We are using the 2nd grade version. I can not wait till they do the upper grades as I have a 2nd, 4th, 6th currently doing language Lessons with 3 more trail...

Different ideas...(I'm an idea person, so I like to give options..lol) 1. Write less into your planner. And initial and a lesson number is fine for record keeping. Example Jane does a lesson a day from the Singapore daily lesson plans, write J-1 then there is plenty of room per square. 2. Make 2 cop...

My oldest was in 3rd grade when we found MFW, we started with adventures.
