  1. This is making next year feel doable to me haha.
  2. This sounds awesome! I think I might doe EIW that has grammar just the first half of the year and composition the 2nd. I'm not sure I have the guts to not do it at all haha. What will you all do instead of grammar?
  3. Thank you for the breakdown. I'll probably stick with Math and try to continue to handhold because like you said, There will be holes and I do know CLE is a good Math program. It works just fine for my other child. I dropped Reading this week because she needs some success and to just enjoy Reading and another workbook was hard. I'll probably change up LA as I might be able to find something that isn't so much. I am having her tested to see if there are problems that I'm not aware of. Thanks for taking time to write this :)
  4. Hmmm, interesting. I didn't know this. Thank you :)
  5. Following because my daughter lives there and will be homeschooling in the future. We lived there years ago but not while I was homeschooling so I can't give you any help.
  6. I'll look into this further. Thank you :)
  7. Thank you. I'm wanting to get them reading more and enjoying it. So I think I'm going to add books from Sonlight list on American HIstory and let them throw in some of their own. I think a reading time will do much better for this than a structured program. I'm already feeling relieved at just the thought of it :)
  8. I am currently doing CLE Math, LA & Reading. I'm getting a little burned out by all the grading and bookwork. I'm considering selling my Reading and just having them read books that I choose. In all honesty I probably would just have them read and not do any paperwork regarding their book. Should I stick with the Reading for the remainder of the year or will my kids be just fine if I jump ship and just have them read?
  9. Thank you everyone who answered :001_smile:
  10. What are your thoughts on Time4Learning? I am considering switching to something online courses. I'm not sold on the idea yet but just considering all of my options. One is sending to public school which I don't think either of us is ready for that. I'd also like to be free of all the grading haha if possible because I find I'm needing to help my aging Mom more often. What are your thoughts on Time4Learning? She will be in 6th grade and another child in 5th.
  11. Yes, I do check all work every day in all subjects. We try to go over things missed so they can learn and not continue to make the same mistakes.
  12. Thank you so much for taking the time to help :) I do help with going through the step by step. I don't write it down though. I do let her do things on her own to see what she is getting and remembering :). I probably need to go over more with her to have her read the directions to me.
  13. Thank you for this! I am on a budget so thanks for the other option ideas :)
  14. I do both! I am having her checked for learning problems. I still need to see what would work for her :)
  15. It's not just one unit. It's been a constant theme but getting worse in all subjects. I'm trying to figure out if we just need to just keep working through and hoping some things are sticking or if something slower paced is better for her. She needs to feel some success.
  16. Thank you for the input. She has her facts down. But it's also in LA. It's remembering how to do the problems, following all directions and in LA when she has to do multiple things to a sentence, she doesn't remember how to do it. I didn't know if there was a curriculum that might go slower to help her. If not, I can just stick with it. I'm just wanting her to learn.
  17. Yes, I'm part of the FB group. This is her 2nd year with CLE.
  18. We are doing Reading also. She is struggling with all 3 subjects. I've not considered mastery but from the responses MUS would be something to look into. Would you hang tough for the remainder of the year? My other child is doing the same as her so I have 2 doing the same work load. He is doing fine with CLE. I've never been one to jump ship mid year but want to do what's best. I want her to learn......
  19. My daughter is in 5th grade and doing CLE 4 books. I am doing LA and Math. It seems to be getting too hard for her. She is starting to not remember and make lots of mistakes. Any suggestions? I like spiral because she really needs to continue going over things or she forgets. I do like CLE and am using it for my other kids but it seems to be moving to fast for her. Also, would you switch mid year or hang tight and work through this year and change next year. Our school goes into May.
  20. Thanks everyone! So I'm understanding that the video remains and I can buy a printed workbook to go along with it :) That would work!
  21. Bummer! The video is what I'm looking for. Thanks :)
  22. I was looking at them for next year and noticed the 2nd edition is being discontinued but doesn't say anything about a new edition. Anyone have any info on what's ahead for EIW?
