I am looking for a test I can administer and send in to get graded. My goal is to test him each year so he'll get comfortable testing and to see what areas we should focus. We will be starting 1st grade in July overseas so there won't be a school for him to join just for testing.
If you've used the test, how did you like it? what grade did you use it? were the results helpful?
Thank you

I've gotten the materials and I'm trying to plan in the first couple months of first grade. I'm using the textbook, workbook, HIG, Intensive Practice, and tests to start. When I'm planning it out, it's going to take about 2 weeks to get done what the HIG has scheduled for 1 week.:confused: My son doesn't write well, should I try to do most of it orally? Maybe to 1 or 2 pages a day written and the rest orally? Do I skip some of the pages? I think it'll take a while for him to understand the number bond format. Hopefully once we get started it'll go faster than what it looks like it will. I've scheduled 5 days a week for 30 minutes for math.

Read the entire chapter in one sitting? Or read the first part, do the activity and the next day read the second part and do the activity or extra book? I'm trying to make my plans and wondered if splitting the chapters up like in the book would be beneficial.

I wrote out a sentence for my son to read with no spaces and asked him to read it. He couldn't. I then wrote the same sentence with spaces and he read it. At that point, he understood the importance of spaces. For the all caps, I had to sit with him to remind him every single time.

My son is almost half way through ETC 4 and is getting confused on syllables still. I'm thinking about going on to 5, which I don't think will be a problem and coming back to 4 later. Have you done this?

This is my first year. I have one child in first grade. Which of these would be more flexible to use and which is easier to use?
Thanks!

We are moving from the United States to India in a few weeks. I don't know if I should start SOTW or something else relating to India and Asia so we can tie in our field trips to our studies. What would you do?

Thank You! I found it on Ebay but it's the 2007 version. Should be concerned it's not the 2009 version?
Thanks!

It looks like there's a student book for about $30 and a skills book. I don't need the skills book?
thank you!!
-
From where did you order it? It's looks like two books for each grade level but maybe I'm confused :confused:
thanks!

What do I need to order for Write Source grade 1? I want my first grader to do some creative writing in case he returns to public school for second grade. I'll also be doing FLL 1 so grammar will be covered.
Thank you

I think it'll help if you read books they know very well already, the 3 little pigs etc. My in-laws have spoken only Greek to my son. They don't read to him much (i'm trying to change that) but I got them started with stories he loved in English. They translate some words in the books but not so much it interrupts the flow of the book.

I'll be moving soon to India. Do we need to register as homeschoolers anywhere? How do we handle the legal side of things?

I need to know the requirements in Delaware. From what I see online, it looks like I submit a single family homeschooling form. Then I need to report attendance by July. But I'm not sure if there is a separate form for reporting attendance. Does anyone know?
Thank you

Thank you for these suggestions

That's great to know. My son (5) has a hard time sitting still for chapter books at this point. I tried Charlie and the Chocolate Factory thinking his love of chocolate would keep him interested but it didn't work :tongue_smilie:
Maybe I'll try a different chapter book
-
great lists!!
thanks

I think I need to spend more time reading to my son. How much time do you spend each day (on average)? He doesn't read by himself yet, still working through OPGTR.
Thanks!
-
My son is more interested in spelling than reading. Would this be good to start slowly? We are also working through OPGTR very slowly
-
I'd like to know too!

If you do Greek as a modern language, I don' think it'll be a problem. My son can speak Greek and English (he's 5 and my husband is Greek) but I haven't taught him any reading or writing in Greek. We are concentrating on English writing and reading which is going slow at this point.
I will teach him the Greek alphabet soon and will probably start in a few months. When I start the reading and writing of modern Greek, I am going to use this:
I have their adult materials (I'm learning Greek now) and those are great.
I'm not sure if the Hey Andrew is modern Greek or not.

Are you thinking about doing Greek as a modern language?

I have a 5 year old son. He can count to 100, count backwards from 10, can tell time on the hour and knows the 1 to 1 relationship while counting. I wanted to start something slowly with him. He doesn't understand that 25 is larger than 20. He also doesn't know odd and even numbers or understand the ones place, tens, place etc.
Which would be a good one to start with, Miquon Orange or Math Mammoth 1? or would you recommend doing both?
What would you recommend to buy for Miquon Orange? (First Grade Diary, annotations, etc)? What would I need for Math Mammoth?
I plan to buy an abacus and I have cuisenaire rods
Thank you!

Thank you so much, I just printed out the math guide to start using.
Moving to Bangalore and homeschooling?

I'll be leaving in a couple weeks to move to Bangalore. My husband has already started work there. I'll be homeschooling my son who will be in first grade. What types of extracurricular activities are available? What's the best way for him to learn a foreign language, probably Hindi or something? What's the best way to get him involved with other Indian children other than going to school? Are there any homeschooling groups that get together?
I'm set on the curriculum we'll be using as long as I can find room in our suitcases and keep it under the weight limit, which will be very hard. :tongue_smilie:
