Hmmmm....I agree I would email her. I rarely use the answer key, so I haven't noticed any errors.

My son was easily able to handle FLL and WWE 1&2 last year in 2nd grade. FLL, using the original text, is only 200 lessons. We just had to double up on some of the shorter repetitive lessons. I used the WWE text book and focused on the scripted weeks for WWE1 and then went straight into WWE2, cutting out enough to finish by the end of school year. The memory work in FLL is mostly short poems with a longer ones. I would take them on a case by case bases. If you feel she is getting enough skip it.

There are very few pages where color is needed. I have a B/W laser, so when it is needed I use color highlighters or markers. It tends to be the geography and measuring chapters that need color. The "fun" chapters as my son calls them! :D

I do four days a weeks. Most of our subjects can easily be done on a 4-day/36 week schedule, but I have 39 weeks on the schedule. That gives us extra time for sick and life happens days or take longer vacations. The extra weeks also give each subject a buffer in case we need (or want) to spend more time on a lesson.

Geezz...I hope late 30's isn't too old to understand carseat safety! I have a foot in the grave at 44 and I'm a carseat nazi! :lol: My In-Laws refused to take my son anywhere until he was out of his booster. Since I wouldn't let him not ride without it, he never got to go any place with Grandma and Grandpa until he was 7. :(

Never heard of them, so I checked ebay. I can't imagine that they are worth $800!! That is way to much money to gamble on. I can't stand door-to-door salespeople. I won't even talk to them! If I want something I'll find it on my own. I don't want them trying to "sell" me on something I don't need or want. Grrrr.....

Thank you! Thank You!!! :drool5:

If it helps, we started 1st grade in August and my son turned 7 in October. We did a 1 1/2 of school before that. Going into first his levels were all over the place. He was reading at about 4th grade, Math he was starting 2nd, his writing was horrible even for a Ker, putting a word on paper beside his name was close to impossible for him. He is going into 3rd now and I'm seeing everything evening out to grade level. We are having to slow down in math so he can wrap his brain around the concepts. I suspect by 5th grade he will be doing 5th grade math, which is fine by me.

I just posted this one on the other thread.

I'm doing the "sketchbook" timeline from the Donna Young site. http://donnayoung.org/history/timeline-cw.htm I started with a wall timeline, but the only wall large enough isn't in the room we have school in, so it was often forgotten. We had to spend a few days transferring everything over to the book, but it's going to be worth it.

If it's any help at all, I'm starting my almost 9-year old with GSL and plan to move into Latin Prep (unless I change my mind again).

:party:Congrats!!

I don't schedule by chapters. We read one section a day and do any related activities from the AG. At the end of the chapter we take a day to do any additional reading, update the timeline and take the test from the test book. I came up with 147 day which is just shy of 37 weeks @ 4 times a week.

Since she understands concepts but doesn't have the facts memorized, I would just work with her on that for the next several weeks/months, however long it takes. You don't need a curriculum to do that. Print some drill sheets, she could make her own flash cards, play computer games like Timez Attack. Since you have MM, she has a links at the beginning of each chapter for free online math games. Take advantage of that. Once she has her facts down fairly well, MM recommends 80% to move on, then you could most likely put her into 4th grade math and she won't be any the wiser of your concerns. Math Mammoth has worked well for us and I've stuck with it, so hopefully someone else with a vaster knowledge of whats out there can recommend something for you. But whatever you choose stick to it!! Don't keep changing just because she doesn't like math. She may never enjoy it. ;)

Oh dear, I should have never click on that link! ;) My husband is already telling me to buy it. Now, I need to figure out how to fit it in to our schedule. Does anyone know how long it take to complete and how much time per lesson it takes?

Get some of the orange cones and stick a no parking sign in them to put out when the kids are playing. If they park there call 911! The cops might not be able to do anything, but the ruckus it would cause would make an impact.

Yuck! I don't like coconut though.

:lol::lol:

Ok, you all are right. :tongue_smilie: "Three cards of consecutive rank (irrespective of suit), such as ace-2-3, score 3 points for a run. A hand such as 6-7-7-8 contains two runs of 3 (as well as two fifteens and a pair) and so would score 12 altogether. A run of four cards, such as 9-10-J-Q scores 4 points (this is slightly illogical - you might expect it to score 6 because it contains two runs of 3, but it doesn't. The runs of 3 within it don't count - you just get 4), and a run of five cards scores 5."

My sister taught me years ago and I'm teaching my son. We bought a 29 board at a garage sale last weekend. He has beat me every hand so far. :glare: That was his hand and he was going to score it at 4. :lol: I'm sticking with 28 unless someone can tell me you can't score the 3 and 4 runs! ;)

That is what I did. There are runs of 3 and runs of four in there.

For those that know Cribbage can you score this hand for me. 6c, 9c, 8c, 8d Starter 7d I came up with 28, but I'm not sure I'm counting the runs correctly.

I'm starting Latin this fall with my 3rd grader. I decided to go with Getting Started with Latin and move into Latin Prep in 4th grade. I like scripted text and MP3 lessons of GSL and it should work well with my son. He is not workbook kid!

What is CC? And can you post a link or PM me (I'm in SW WA too).

:iagree: Raw dough and licking the beaters is a right of the child. :lol:
