Congratulations on your soon to be new addition. Just like the others I would recommend just taking it a little easy the next couple of weeks. Of course you are a homeschooling Mom and taking it easy may be too much to ask right before a new schoolyear begins. Good luck and be well.

Can you wonderful ladies and gentlemen help me with ordering the right program for my 4 yr old. I read WTM (1999) edition and she highly recommends Saxon. I looked into it and I love the thought of the manipulatives. But I see a lot of people here using Singapore. Why did you choose Singapore over Saxon and what are the advantages? Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. We have the BFIAR books. I guess I'm too excited about starting homeschooling.:auto:

My oldest turns 4 in August and I was considering using SOTW and MOH as nightime reading-I'm sick of fairy tales. But I have a 10 month old that will need to go through the information as well. I want them to be on the same track once we start formally teaching them history. I thought it could't hurt for my 3 yr old to hear history stories instead of fairy tales. I am so sick of Cinderalla and her glass slippers. Any opinions before i use my Christmas stash on these books?

That's disgusting!:iagree:

I have two dd 4yrs and 10 months old and am very interested in the classical method. I'm fascinated by the methodical approach and development of critical thinking.

I am planning on using the I See Sam books series to teach reading to my 3 yr old. We started with OPG but she said it was too hard. We'll save that for later. I will also be starting Saxon math level K. Even if we have to go through the math program again next year I think the manipulatives would be fun for her. I was considering starting SOTH1 as read alouds during the day. I was wondering if I should wait untill the 10 month old is 3 before starting history so everyone is on the same topic? Any opinions on waiting verses reteaching?
