Any suggestions? Do you think LOF would help?

My 6th grade son needs help with his time table facts so I ordered gamma for him to do for this year with his 5th grade sister. However, DH is very concerned and now, so am I. I don't want him to get even further behind. My hope is we can move quickly through it and do Delta as well this year. In addition, I was thinking or ordering LOF fractions and decimals. He was previously using CLE math but the spiral approach wasn't working. Thoughts? I would like to be teaching pre-algebra by 8th grade.

I just got my MFW Rome to Reformation stuff and it looks AWESOME!

Zofran saved me with my fifth pregnancy. You must be having a girl. My girls made me sick but the boys didn't. Feel better real soon and awesome job getting and keeping the food down. I was in the er for dehydration when it got too bad but that was before the zofran!

Well it sounds like I will give MFW a try. I think it would work best for me. I like the weekly grid that i can check things off when completed. And that I can combine everyone. Thanks all for sharing :)

I am considering using MFW next year but am not 100% My kids will be 6th, 5th, 2nd, and we may do another round of K for my youngest ds. I am just curious what your favorite is and why. Thanks :)

ANd you are right, sending him to school would not have changed anything with his relationships with his siblings.

Sorry I was just having a little vent the other day. No two days are the same which in some cases is a great thing. DH and I are dealing with some behavior issues with DS1 so I just got a couple books to read on discipline. I do love homeschooling but was having a bad day the other day :)

Thank you for sharing. I think we will try BJU for next year. We need a change over here :)

Thank you for sharing. I am really thinking we will try Saxon for my older two and continue with CLE for the younger ones. Thanks again :)

6th and 5th grade, I am think of getting Saxon 6/5 which they could do together or TT or CLE which we have been using but feel its time for a change possibly.

For next year a 6th and 5th grader BJU English (grammer and writing) and I would add AAS or CLE

Because honestly I feel like I am going to rip my hair out! Well not really, but geez. I miss the quiet, I miss the clean house. I hear too much yelling and arguing and its making me bonkers. #1 dislikes #2 very much. #3 and #4 get picked on by #1 too much. #1 is a problem for me. Do I send him back to PS to get a break knowing that he was the reason I chose to homeschool? How could I live with myself?

Thank you to each and every one of you for the support. I really needed it. I am looking forward to the grand babies a LLLOOONNNGGG time from now. But when the time comes, it will be magical. Today is a better day then when I wrote this thread. I figure its going to be that way. Some days are good, some are not so good. Tis life, right.

My 5th grader has been a struggling speller and I need to get his problem solved. He doesn't seem to understand how to put the sounds of letters together to make words more like he will try to memorize the way a word is spelled. Between these two programs, which would be better for him?
