Hello :001_smile:, Is anyone using Truth in Science curriculum? I purchased the student steps for grade three, and so far I like how they look, but I've been dragging my feet to add it to the daily lessons. I figured we could use the student steps and forgo the teacher manual. Well Just wanted to see if anyone is using this curriculum or have any opinions about it :bigear: .

One lesson a day is good. My DS does two or three depending on how he feels, my minimum is one a day. We don't use the textbook, he does the lecture and problems on the computer, but the book is good to have if ever he needs more study on a subject or to go back to a lesson for help. I hope you enjoy the program! We are using level 3 and I am so happy I bought it :001_smile:. makes my day go smoother and DS who already enjoyed math, likes it even better!

I have no local support. I think I could attempt to reach out to groups, but I have a two year old and it is hard to do co-ops with him. When we lived in a different state that required an umbrella school, we got to see so many other homeschoolers and even went bowling once together. That was very nice :001_smile:. I feel really lonely most of the time and come online for tips and support. I need to do more to find other like minded people.

I just purchased the MM bundle and I'm trying to load it on my ipad. The download came as a zip file, but when I unzipped it, the pdf is too large for me to email to myself to open on the ipad. I don't know what to do now. I purchased it at kagi if that matters, I got the free MM downlaod from the other website and it came as a PDF and I had no problems getting it on my ipad.

A reading program for a third grader
Teaching_Three replied to Teaching_Three's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
That's what I was thinking of doing but was not sure if I needed to do more at this age. I just want to make sure I'm not missing skills by not using a program. -
My son is 8, soon to be 9 in the fall. I am planning his third grade, and I'm wondering what reading program, if any should I use? He does read well, I would say he is on grade level, if not above... have never had him tested. We are not big on workbooks. I'm not sure what I should be doing for reading though? Plan on using HOD loosely as a guide but I did not want to use drawn into the heart of reading program.Any help would be great, I hope I have expressed myself clearly enough :001_smile:. PS. We are working on going 100% Charlotte Mason, that is the school of thought that best lines up with our family.

Writing for 2nd and 3rd grade
Teaching_Three replied to Teaching_Three's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Thanks! I ended up purchasing the winning with writing, it's a great price and we just need to get started. I'm going to listen to the lecture and check out writng with ease as well. My son has an interest in writng and story telling so I want to get a very good program, but since this is our first structured year and he enjoys work books, I don't want it too challenging and scary!:001_smile: -
Can I have some suggestions for writing programs for the 2nd and 3rd grade please? I'm not sure what I am looking for as of yet, I think we are ready to do something formal though. For grammar we are going to be using iether GWG or PLL... but I don't think they are considered writing.

What are you most likely to splurge on for homeschool?
Teaching_Three replied to kristinannie's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I wish I could say I splurged in any area! I am pretty tight with my spending all around. At one point I was spending a good amount on books, but now we have a nice sized library and I won't be adding any new material until every single book we own has been read at least once if not twice!( We have well over four hundred books!) I am am more geared towards frugal homeschooling and shopping in bulk during sales. I have been considering purchasing a kindle fire for each of my pupils (2). We use many e-resources and apps ( I have an ipad) in our learning, those would be considered splurge luxury items:001_smile:. -

The original McGuffey Readers
Teaching_Three replied to Teaching_Three's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Thank you for that link! I found the readers... earliest one is from 1909 does not say it is revised but the cover provided in the PDF says revised. I'm not sure, I'll need to do some more digging. I've never heard of archive.org, looking forward to doing some hanging out over there:001_smile:. -
I was wondering if there are free copies of the original readers online in the public domain. I've been doing google searches, but I am just finding revised versions. Figured I'd come and ask for help :001_smile:.

Singapore and the extra books
Teaching_Three replied to Teaching_Three's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Thank you all for the advice and feedback. I'm going to have to search for that poll thread. I will hold off on getting the extra books then.
