It works!
Posted: Thu May 31, 2007 9:02 am In reading the board it seems many people have a question about their younger ones "missing out" by joining in mid-cycle. I just thought I'd share a story that happened this weekend to illustrate that it works. My youngest son is 6 and in K, but has been somewhat si...

Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2007 10:32 am I agree with the others, make sure his phonics are strong. My middle son struggled with reading from the first day. Then in 3rd grade he was diagnosed with Epilepsy (absence type) and it was interfering with his ability to process what he was learning. We went back...

Wed Jul 11, 2007 4:20 pm Just a tip about finding information for the K folders. Last year we picked up TONS of things at our county fair! The different buildings always have little pamphlets for people to take. We found information about fish, turtles, frogs and insects at the conservation buildin...

I had a 7th grader doing EX1850 this year and he did Apologia General Science as his main science program. He did sit in on the EX1850 science with his younger brothers too, but it was just because he really likes science, not that I required it. We ordered the CD-Rom version of the General Science ...

Just another though that I didn't see mentioned yet. Kids all grow at different rates, physically AND developmentally. So your daughter didn't grow as much this year as the "average" kid in that particular area. That's fine! Is there another area she grew more than average in? Maybe it was simply a ...

Writing included in 1850MOD and EX1850
Does 1850MT include a large writing assignment like the state report in EX1850? My oldest son (7th grade) just finished the rough draft of his state report and it's written in a very informal style. It's the first report he's done and just whole process of doing a research report has been very good ...

Re: Those that have "walking encyclopedias"
Posted: Fri May 25, 2007 1:36 pm We've used the Backyard Scientist books here. We loved them! We didn't necessarily supplement with them; they were just on the shelves for those times the kids wanted to do more science. I think my favorite part is the way they have you do the experiment and then th...

We are doing K this year, and I am supplementing. Not because I feel that the math in MFW is inadequate, but my son simply needs more practice, especially with writing the numbers when there is no model. I'm sure that the amount of review in MFW is just fine for others though. I'm adding what I've u...
