:001_smile: Can any Oak Meadow users share whether or not it is usable with multiple ages? I looked at their on-line catalog and it looks wonderful! It also looks well planned/suited to the age it is written for. There is a lovely progression of skills! But, reality for a Mom of many is that there is very little of Mom to go around and some things must be taught to a group. Is this possible with Oak Meadow?
I sent them an email this morning asking these questions because I'm sooooo very curious now! My DC, especially my very. busy. hands. on. children. (We have a serious Wiggly Willy gene) would LOVE something like this . . . and I mean LOVE. :grouphug: I might win the Mom of the Year award if I brought out recorders, crochet hooks, clay and beeswax crayons on a weekly basis!
In all seriousness, I'm very interested in learning more and if there is any light that can be shed on the day to day teaching load and how it could (?) or would (?) work with multiple young kids. Mine will be 2nd, 1st, Preschool and there will be a toddling baby this fall.

Aylene,
Here are a couple of VP threads from the recent past. Perhaps reading these will shed some light?

I've called and emailed VP several times lately! They will answer your questions and can give you specifics.
If relief from prep time is on your agenda have you considered their on-line/self paced classes? You can learn more about them on the website. You can sample a week's worth. This year they introduced Old Testament/Ancient Egypt but will have several other years available for the 2010-11 school year. I called yesterday and the gal told me the samples should be up anytime. They are FUN!
They also do Scholars which is a scripted lesson plan. It can include one subject or several (History, Bible, Lit. if you want). The price varies. It's definitely easier to call and ask someone to walk you through if that is what interests you.
I have NOT used VP yet but I have been doing quite a bit of research lately! I have just shared with you what others have shared with me and what I have gleaned in the many calls/emails :001_smile:. They're probably growing weary hearing from me when I call and say, "I just have a quick question . . . " LOL.
Hopefully more experienced users will chime in!

Hidden Treasures Academy
Hidden Treasures from Proverbs 2 . . . the pursuit & acquisition of wisdom (God's) is our mission . . . Academy sounds so official I guess. :D

I am planning on buying the level A starter kit in a few weeks. I was just curious how well made the manipulatives are - for those who have them, are you please with their quality? I plan to buy the kit with the wooden abacus.
TIA!
Hi!
We use Right Start Level A and B with all of those manipulatives. I think the quality is great and so far I have no complaints about that. HOWEVER, have you looked at the wooden abacus in real life? We saw Right Start at a homeschool convention here last summer and she compared the red plastic one with the wooden one. I had my heart set on wood BUT for some reason (unless they've changed since then) the beads on the wooden one don't slide as easily as they do on the red ones. The red abacuses are fantastic - we use 3 of them. The beads slide freely and it is easy to "clear" the abacus (which you'll be doing a lot and so will your kiddo). Anyway, the gal who was representing Right Start pointed that out to us and she urged us to go with the red one and forget the wooden one. She was right!

I bought the VP 1815-present Homeschool kit from Rainbow Resource. This contains the printed teacher's manual, the song cd, and the cards. Then I also purchased the enchaned CD. This was not required but I wanted both the hard copy and a digital copy of the teacher's guide so that printing the worksheets would be easy. I spent Monday morning printing all the worksheets and tests. It was a lot of them.
I plan to use the cards, songs, and worksheets. I may add in the resources on the cards but I haven't decided yet. I did buy some various historical fiction books on the topics for enrichment. The worksheets are questions about the information on the cards so it's not necessary to have the other resources to be able to use them. There are 32 cards in each set, so you are looking at 32 weeks. Some could be stretched out if you wish.
Thanks Kelli! :D

:grouphug: That was INCREDIBLY helpful. Wow. Thank-you so very much!!

Can ANYONE, in a *nutshell* :D, explain the differences between using VP history in these three ways:
1) Self paced/online
2) Using the history cards, cd, teacher's guide
3) Scholars
Specifically, I'd like to hear how it works, what the Mama has to do to prepare/teach, general time required in the day/days of the week, whether or not you are happy with it.
Anyone squish the 5 years into 4? Is this intuitive or recommended or is better to just let it ride for five years?
Anyone use the VP cards with something else fun like SOTW or . . . . ? Are the VP cards/songs as fun/cool as they LOOK?
Self paced/online classes look fabulous but the price tag is high if you end up with more than one kiddo wanting to use it. Presently, it's $250 per kid and not easy to share (only one person can do the activities because once the class is done, it is done and not to be repeated.)
I like much of what I see with Veritas Press but I get very confused by the website and the catalog. :glare: I am going to call again but thought I'd see if any users of the curric. could enlighten and educate me.
If there is another thread you're aware of that would help me here that would be great. Searching yielded some helps but not the specifics I'm needing. :D
Thanks!

I ordered Phonics Road 1 this morning after a looooonnnnnnggggg and agonizing decision making process. My heart was actually thumping and I felt slightly nauseous as I was pressing the Pay Now button on the Pay Pal page. That was a hefty chunk of change! I am terrified . . . historically I have made poor decisions re: curriculum and I really really really thought I'd just NOT do PR. But . . . . well . . . . it kept nagging me, calling to me, etc. I listened to Mrs. Beers audio workshop and it was so good. That was the clincher. I can't live with NOT KNOWING :001_smile:. So, I guess I'm going to be able to change my siggy soon to reflect this new "road" we are going to be traveling!
Thanks to all of you who have answered my numerous questions! I look forward to following up in the future and hearing from others who have recently taken the plunge. It will be interesting to hear the experiences of all!
:D

Below is a quick checklist to get you started thinking about learning style. Quite often learning styles either don't surface until a student is around 8-9yo -- and some students are pretty "well-rounded" and learning style isn't much of a need for them. The list below is for both learning style (taking in info), and brain dominance (processing of that info). Enjoy! Warmest regards, Lori D.
LEARNING STYLES (how we best/most naturally take in information)
KINESTHETIC (Do-ers/Touchers)
Kinesthetic Traits:
- favors sports and building
- high energy
- loves to touch
- uses body when antsy
- in constant motion
- dislikes sitting long
- uses fingers to count
- usually has rumpled clothes
- has difficulty following oral directions
Kinesthetic Helps:
- math manipulatives
- manipulatives
- allow touching
- take many breaks
- use hands-on activities
- divide chores up
- allow building/construction
AUDITORY (Talkers/Listeners)
Auditory Traits:
- remembers commercials
- uses rhyming to remember
- talks aloud doing math
- a better listener than reader
- reads aloud
- has difficulty reading maps
- very verbal
- likes to talk to people
Auditory Helps:
- make audiotapes (esp. for spelling)
- set learning to music
- talk them through writing a paper
- read aloud
- study groups
- have a quiet place for study/learning
- watch videos (for audio narration)
VISUAL (Watchers)
Visual Traits:
- assemble by pictures
- close eyes to memorize
- observant
- good with puzzles
- vivid imagination
- looks neat
- better reader than listener
- rarely volunteers answers
- takes many notes
- watches/learns from TV
Visual Helps:
- illustrate everything
- make a mind-map (visual plan) for writing
- use post-it notes to organize
- highlight different topics in different colors
- write down chores
- use transparency sheets to reduce glare
"Hook" your child's interest with their learning style strength, then present the material in all the learning styles to strengthen their weak areas and really embed the information in their brain in multiple ways.
BRAIN DOMINANCE (how we process information)
LEFT BRAIN
Left Brain Uses or is Strong with:
- analytical
- dates
- numbers
- taxon memory
- lists
- names
- math facts
- short term memory stored here
Left Brain Takes In Information By:
- Words
- the Familiar
- Sequential
- Listens
- is a Joiner
- Step-by-Step
- Routine
- Organized
- Linear Thinking
- Writing/Talking
- Detailed
- Focused
RIGHT BRAIN
Right Brain Uses or is Strong with:
- spatial
- color
- music
- creativity
- design
- feelings
- storytelling
- hands-on
- long-term memory stored here
Right Brain Takes In Information By:
- pictures
- the new
- is random
- particpates
- is independant
- demonstrations
- is impulsive
- creative
- 3-D thinking
- drawing
- oblivious to detail
- highly distractable
Wow! Thanks for this! :)

I see this referenced in the S&S for Level Four. Mrs. Beers writes that it is " ... [her] process of sentence diagramming..."
Can you compare this to "regular diagramming" for a grammar illiterate Mom?
SWB convinced me that diagramming is an important skill to learn so I'm wanting to compare the PR way to the "regular" way.

Me!!!
Heather
Heather,
:001_smile:I sent you a PM last week and I'm wondering if you've rec'd it! :001_smile:
Let me know. If not, can I re-send?? I have some questions to ask you!
Thanks!!!:D

Hi Rhondabee,
How old is your DD?? I haven't used Slow and Steady but IF she's a pre-schooler I'd recommend looking on Timberdoodle's website for some fun ideas! My 3yo (nearly 4) has enjoyed the I Can series of books (works on skills like cutting, pasting, tracing, etc. - very fun and easy to implement). We've also been super happy with Lauri brand products (if you look on My Father's World's website you can see how they pull them together for the preschool set, organized by age) and they keep her busy/focused.
Another fantastic find for us has been the bambino LUK which is also available on Timberdoodle! All of my children enjoy the LUK products! They are challenging, fun, and easy for a child to use independently once you teach how to use it.
Sorry if this is NOT what you're looking for but perhaps bumping you up will encourage another more knowledgeable Mama to give her advice!:D
-
I got to the point in Phonics Road where dd finished level two and ds was still in level two. We started level 3 with her, then I decided I wanted something more independent for the two of them. I actually need to change my siggy, because We are no longer doing CLE LA with ds. ds is actually finishing up PR 2 and I'll continue on with him. (I think I mentioned that I worked through PR 2 with both, should have thought about what I was writing, oops!:blush:) I kind of got a grass is greener on the other side syndrome, and doing two levels was getting really time consuming, so I purchased CLE LA on a whim :o Mistake! Well, not quite a mistake for DD. She is actually still doing CLE LA along with Write with the Best. She really thrives with the independence. I'm thinking I will use The Bridge to the Latin Road with her next year. I'm not sure yet. She's had a lot of Shurley English in the past. So her grammar is very solid, as is her reading ability.
White Board - It's really easy. I just write the first letter of a word, we'll use "dad". So I write "d" then ask what sound? then I add "a" so it becomes "da" now what does it say? then I add "d" to make "dad" and she tells me the word. Then I erase it and I say we are going to spell dad. So we say daaaad together. I ask her the first sound. She says and writes d, then I ask what is the 2nd sound and she says and writes a. Then I ask what is the 3rd or last sound. She says and writes d. then she reads "dad" again. We erase it then she spells it again on her own. I go through more words this way, then I write them again and she reads them again. That's it in a nutshell.:001_smile:
Deena,
Thank-you for explaining all of this! Your posts have given me some "light bulb" moments today and cleared some things up for me!! Really, I appreciate it a lot!!!!!!!!! :D

Well, that's a good question. When my oldest dd was in 2nd grade, I was trying to find a way to get her spelling well. I had heard about SWR, but it looked way too overwhelming for me. I knew I was enrolling her in a Christian school for 3rd, so I didn't want to spend too much money. That's when I, completely by mistake, fell upon AAS (then called The Complete Book of Spelling or something like that) There was only 1 level available and we went through it so quickly that I needed something else. I came upon the Phonics Road at that point, but it was too expensive. So I purchased Phonics for English Reading, Spelling and Writing from www.yesphonics.com. I guess you would say that those two programs taught me how to teach the phonograms and all their sounds. Unfortunately, two years in school did nothing for my elder dd's spelling, and she mostly forgot everything I taught her. So, I bought Phonics Road knowing I wanted to use it for the younger dds. I took elder dd and ds through the first two levels of Phonics Road with great success. But, I had never taught them to read that way. They both learned to read with programs that discouraged spelling until they were reading. Therefore, I was still a little skeptical about teaching reading by such a method. No longer am I skeptical. I can't believe how much spelling has really helped to solidify the words for dd 5. If I thought she could handle PR 2 in 1st grade, I would just go ahead with Phonics Road 1, but it all advances so quickly after level 1. That's why I'm waiting to use Phonics Road. I am going to continue having dd spell her way to reading, though. I will just use a more pattern approach with Blend Phonics and Word Mastery for now instead of rules. Phonics Road will provide all the rules. :001_smile:
Webster's does teach all the sounds of the phonograms at once. I've looked at Webster's being a mix of OG/Spalding and beginning blend programs like Abeka, Phonics Pathways, etc. Webster's doesn't teach rules. It teaches reading and spelling through syllable patterns using the syllabary. :001_smile:
I don't think ElizabethB has the phonograms on her website. She just has so many great ideas to offer, like using a white board with yound dc. I would have never thought of it had she not mentioned it.
This is good, this is good! :001_smile: So, why did you not continue with Phonics Road with your olders (I see CLE LA in your siggy which has always intrigued me!!!)? Please elaborate!!!!!! :D Oh, and howare you using the white board???
-
So does this mean that AAS teaches the why/when in level 3 section 8?
We were using SWO and that was not working for DS. It seemed to jump around too much and didn't teach the rules. We ordered AAS 1 in hopes that all of the rules would clarify things for him. The phonogram cards have helped him already but I do wonder about he overall scope and sequence of AAS.
When it comes down to it, my worry is that there will still be gaps in his learning by using multiple curriculums for LA. Our current list is AAS, FLL, WWE, ETC, and reading books together. However, I do like the flexibility of being able to tailor each one to his speed.
I'm right there with you Researcher . . . my WORD!! Gaps are my concern too and I've been haunting these PR threads like crazy . . . .
-
I love success stories . . . .spurs me on in this race!!
HOW did you know how to teach the phonograms? Does ElizabethB have those on her website? I've poked around over there and it's so HUGE! I am easily overwhelmed.
I was intrigued with the syllabary and Webster's speller but am stuck in a rut right now. I MIGHT jump on the PR train . . . but the jury is still out on that one.
Do share how you went about teaching the phonograms . . . :001_smile:
And congratulations on your success!! Good work Mama!
-
I don't know anything about their curriculum packages, but I'm thrilled to see that they offer a fairly extensive line on mini LUK- I've been hesitating to order them from overseas due to the cost. So thanks for the pointer!
I can say that I highly recommend the Bambino LUK products they sell.
:iagree: mini LUK and Bambino LUK are HITS here . . . . so far we have NEVER struck out with a Timberdoodle recommendation. They are one of our favorite companies to order from!!!!
-
I totally feel that way too....and the LR videos ARE AWESOME! DD11 just called me a dork b/c I told her I heart Mrs. Beers. My kids are crackin' up b/c I really am giddy watching the dvds. I told my dd, "Laugh now. When you're home schooling your dc, you'll understand!"
:smilielol5:I burst out laughing in my really goofy laugh after reading that!
-
I totally could have written your post (the OP). We have switched to MM and are liking it very much. I still supervise, but the sections are small enough that once I get ds going, he can finish it himself (which lends well to interruptions). It's not so much that it's overwhelming. And there is a nice variety, a number of ways of looking at the same concept.
I also like that I have control over the topics we are studying. RS seemed to be very flighty and skip around a lot. Skipping around can be great because it allows for things to sink in, but I like being able to skip around at a rate that is right for my child. Right now we are alternating days between Chapter 1 and Chapter 4 of the first grade curriculum. I will do all of the addition/subtraction chapters that build on each other consecutively, but we add in the stuff like clocks, geometry, etc. that don't in order to switch things up and not fly so fast that things don't have time to sink in.
I can do warm up exercises on my own - such as skip counting - and I can do them as we need them and as I am available. For instance, we do a lot of skip counting and verbal math problems while I am nursing the baby.
So I follow a lot of the spirit of RS but using MM in a way that fits into the realities of our house. I have a 3-year-old and an infant so interruptions are a fact of life. Trying harder can just mean banging one's head against a wall harder. There's no point in that. There are a lot of other programs out there that are strong and would fit better with the realities of your situation. Don't feel guilty for using them.
Tana,
Will you look at the questions I wrote to Jill about MM and the order of topics studied? It sounds like you have Light Blue and might also be able to help me figure out how to implement MM with the Blue Series.
Thanks for sharing and for making me feel NORMAL! I often feel like a LOSER and my husband says I need to get over myself and get a grip! He tells me I'm normal but it seems so much more believable coming from other Moms!! LOL! :lol:
-
I could have written your post. I'm in the same dilemma, and I just purchased MM today (through the 40% group discount at homeschool buyers). I plan to keep doing RS on the side when the kids ask for more, but I needed to find st that my 2nd grader (almost 3rd) can do independently on the days that my attention to her is limited by the others needing me. We are also doing AAS which is teacher intensive (but only 15 min a day), so one of the two needed to go (or be put aside). I see lots of progress with both AAS and RS, so it was hard to choose, but I chose to set RS to the side mainly b/c I know that dd will ask for it in our free time and I am "mathy" enough that I can pick and choose supplemental lessons when needed to enrich. MM will be her "core" math simply b/c I can trust that it will get done and that she won't miss out or fall behind on my account. I like the idea of her taking responsibility and being more independent in this area. RS is such an excellent program that I don't forsee giving it up completely.
Jill,
:)I do have MM (yahoo) and appreciate what you've written!! One of the ideas I'd had (this is echoing some of what OhE pointed out) was to do what you've said: Use MM daily and do RS as often as possible until we are through Level B (again, OhE encouraged this b/c of how awesome Level B is). Then be done with it! UGH. I kinda wish I'd never gone down this road to begin with.
Can I ask you a MM question?? :)
I have the Blue Series which was purchased for supplement. It CAN be used in a pieced together fashion for grades 1-3. I have a print out of her suggested study order. For first grade that is Addition 1, PV1, and then Subtraction 1 with some of Money, Clock, Measurement and Geometry here and there. Will there be an issue with review/retention if I do it this way? Knowing what I know now I wish I just had the Light Blue Series so I wouldn't stress about "what to do next". Sigh. Maria was very helpful when I emailed her with my questions in the past so I suppose I can bother her again :D.
Thanks to all of you awesome Moms out there. Wow. I'm humbled and so appreciative!!!!!!!!

Well I think you have a few separate issues here.
-You need to establish some ground rules that let you get math done consistently. This means you need to do it FIRST, every single day. Whatever else you've been doing needs to stop, change, or rearrange. Put math first, and nothing else happens till it gets done. You can even move morning devotions or whatever till after math. It needs to get done, every day, or else you stop the planet.
-You need to have a chat with yourself about how to get the 15-20 minutes of peace you need to accomplish math. Have you had some time to yourself to plan lately? Sometimes we get so into things and just GOING that we forget to STOP. You need a couple hours to yourself, by yourself, with no runny noses tugging at you, so you can regroup. I'll bet you can solve a lot of your problems for yourself if you have that time. You can't see the solutions when you're so busy. It means telling your dh that every week you need 2 hours to yourself, by yourself. Or 1 hour. Or take a REALLY LONG bath, lol. Those recharge times are when the answers to my problems come. You have to get quiet to hear the still small voice. :)
-Three, I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect some form of peace and containment for 15-20 minutes to do the math in RS B, even if it takes draconian measures. I'm NOT saying to keep going with RS into the other levels. I totally agree with you there, that it would get crazy. But I personally think RS B is awesome and worth the effort. Your dh was right there. Now back to draconian measures. Give them each bowls of cheerios and lock them in their rooms with books. Put on a video. Mandate silence. Use leashes. (Oops, maybe not that far.) I'm just saying you CAN get 15-20 minutes of non-interrupted time from a 3 yo. You just need to think of how to get it. You're probably so overwhelmed that you're thinking you need 20 for math plus 20 for this plus 20 for that. Give up on everything else and solve *1* problem at a time. Solve the math. :) Then you'll feel better and can figure out how to solve the rest. :)
Yes you need a curriculum change for the long-haul, but I don't see how MUS vs. Math Mammoth vs. Horizons or whatever will particularly solve it. You have a logistics problem. You need create the expectation of a consistent math lesson and a certain behavior. A 3 yo can sit and listen to books on tape while coloring. A 3 yo can sit in a defined area (taped or with a rug) and be told NOT to ask Mommy till the timer goes off (saving blood emergencies). Do you have a timer? Oxo makes a really, really good one. You want a timer! You can set a timer to define anything. Set timers for breaks, for lessons, etc. People work faster with timers!
Spring is coming. Don't think everything is lost. Soon you'll be able to sit out on a blanket on the grass and work the olders while the youngers play. Get your olders a Flashmaster or fact workbook they can work on consistently, every day, without you. That way they're always making progress. Find some things your youngers can do independently while the olders have their math lessons. Take time to regroup. You'll get there. :)
BTW, I went to BJU math after RightStart, and it has been GREAT for us. It's very similar conceptually, but it has colorful workbooks, dvd lesson options, etc. etc. If you like Math Mammoth, I think people use that as a sole curriculum too, don't they?
:chillpill: sounds good . . . so does two hours of uninterrupted quiet time . . .
DROP it is easier :D but there is much to be said for re-grouping. I do agree with all you've written OhE and it looks good on paper. We are working through a LOT with these kids on a number of different fronts. . . we do have a timer upstairs but I need one down. :001_smile:
We have been making many changes to facilitate a better flow to the day and to make it easier for Mom to do what is needed in all areas.
Thank-you for what you've said about RS B. I WONDERED if that was a possibility because it LOOKS so RICH. I'm going to ponder it . . . I truly am. That removes the burden of teaching RS to two kids at once (well, for a season I'll have an overlap actually).
What grade level is RSB? I don't know how to compare it to others. I just know we FINALLY got to Lesson 24 which is where one begins if RSA is done (which I think RSA is Kinder!). I feel so behind . . .
-
LOVE the idea of RS . . . love what I see in the TM. . . have been encouraged to stick with it . . . but . . .
the REALITY of something soooooo teacher intensive is setting in. I can't see myself doing this over the long haul (with several children coming up the ranks and the first 3 are so close in age). We are frequently side lined because of the design of right start. If I am interrupted (by Pre-Kers or babies) then math is on hold until I can come back to the table. This is reality! I WILL be interrupted so . . . . we are soooo soooo frustrated here. I've had it with being so far behind (and we are BEHIND).
My experience with math this year has been that if I'm not 100% available then math gets dropped. This is BAD! We are not getting enough math done consistently. My poor kiddo!
I also dread it for some weird reason. :confused:
I understand that no matter what math we use I will be involved in teaching and I'm FINE with that. BUT I want to use math that takes SOME of the burden of off me time wise and will allow me to teach several children at once which is a reality in two short years. The thought of having to teach Right Start to 3 children is INSANE and I'm ready to skip town :auto:
We have been using Math Mammoth on the side recently and it's GOOD. I also own MUS (why we didn't just use this to begin with I'll never understand -- we REALLY wanted to try Right Start -- well, DH did -- I finally caved in against my maternal/homeschool Mom instincts -- well, here we are . . . :001_huh:) For the record, my sweet DH is fine with making a change if it means I am sane and our children are learning math consistently.
I don't want to do any more switching around. We need to settle in so there are no gaps. Consistency and continuity and focus are needed!!
Is it O.K. to stop Right Start (sniff sniff) and use MUS and/or MM full time?? MUS seems VERY mom friendly and fun (and we own it for the right level) AND MM has that mental math component and encourages the use of the Abacus which we love. Does a MUS/MM combo make sense?
PLEASE advise. This Mama is in agony and I've shed too many TEARS of guilt/frustration over math :crying:.
I am also NOT mathy. At. All.
I humbly confess that we need to lay the strongest foundation possible in the easiest possible way because reality calls for that.
-
. . . with one student to start with do I just buy the complete package for $199, right? Even if he is reading? I see the readers . . . he is reading at a 4th grade level (I think). Is this O.K.?
When the next student moves up in a few months (up and coming 1st grader) I would then add the $69 Extra Student Package, right?
I am SCARED to let go of all of the pieces of LA laying around here . . . . wow. It feels stark and weird and terrifying . . . and simplifying and freeing and sensible.
I am going to look for the thread that talks about why PR didn't work for people and read that first . . . Does anyone know how I can find that? I think I'll just search PR/Phonics Road and scan the list.
If I am going to sell AAS1 (I own the complete package, unused) is there any part of it I'd want to have on hand for use with PR? I don't think so but thought I'd ask.
:D

Tina and Carmen,
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and answering the MANY questions! They're all printed up!!
Went back to the website today and found it to be more helpful this time around (I looked with new eyes today!).
Will be discussing this with hubby . . .
:D
Oak Meadow???
in K-8 Curriculum Board
Posted
Thanks for sharing that . . . I'd wondered but was afraid to ask. :D In the past I overlooked Oak Meadow because of that. Although, whenever I see these threads I'm so curious which is why I looked at the website today! So much of it is so lovely! Hmmmmmm.
