I will be using Rod and Staff Math for 1st grd and 5th grd. I was reading through the 5th grd teacher's manual and it mentioned using "folded paper" for some of the problems. I didn't understand what they meant by this. Does anyone use folded paper in the way the manual states? Does the paper stay neat? My son is already challenged in keeping his papers neat and orderly.:) I think the idea is that for some of the problems you can just write the answers. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I've used R&S grammar for several years. I like it alot. THis year I will be using BRNS (1st), math (1st and 5th), reading (5th grd), spelling and Bible (5th and 7th), and perhaps the art (1st, 5th and 7th). Does anyone have any thoughts or tips on implementing those R&S subjects? Thanks so much!:001_smile:
