thanks! Just downloaded it!

[Homeschooling Pinterest Boards?]

I have several school boards. Really need to organize them better though. But, I'd rather spend my computer time pinning than sorting! :)

 

My main board is "School" but have started to slowly separate some ideas out to my "School-Math" board. My "To occupy Sophia" board is ideas to entertain/educate/distract my 2.5 year old during school time.

 

Love your boards, thanks!

ETA - organized my school boards. The thought someone, other than me, might be looking at them was inspiration!

[Anyone willling to share their self-made planners?]

Thanks kirstenhill! Glad the page protectors work with the Proclick. Always excited to have another reason to pull out my machine!

[If you are wondering what to do with your preschooler while you homeschooling...]

[Talk me down, Hive! I do NOT need to buy LOE instead of AAS, right???]

Check out the AAL site, I bought some file folder games downloads, so saved $ on shipping!

[Mortensen Math--Have you heard of it?]

"We are adapting the concepts taught in Rosie's videos and on the Crewton Ramone site to use with our current curriculum."

 

I'm doing the same thing! Was hoping someone had used the workbooks and could tell me how they they liked them. I like starting at the beginning and working my way through things. I'm nervous just watching videos isn't going to be enough for me to feel comfortable. Just need to get blocks out and play.

[Mortensen Math--Have you heard of it?]

Know this is an old thread, but didn't know if anyone uses this these days? I've recently discovered Crewton Ramone House of Math via Rosie's videos.

I have spent HOURS on his site and am so intrigued. I do have Miquon and getting ready to start that, are they similar?

My head is spinning, I honestly had dreams of math manipulatives last night. I thought I set in math, SM and Miquon with some MEP thrown in. Did RS A & B with oldest.

 

ok, here comes a lot of smiley faces b/c my girls are sitting next to me and really really want to put them in this reply. Sorry!

[Hey Math-heads, Let's Talk CSMP!!!]

Thanks!

[Hey Math-heads, Let's Talk CSMP!!!]

Has anyone started with 1st grade or do you need to start with K and work forward? We're almost finished with RightStart B and getting into Singapore math, would like to use this program as well. Thanks for any advice!

[Let's share neat ideas. Here's a couple.....]

Love the morse code buzzing idea. Thanks!

[I made a weekly planner!]

thanks for sharing, they are awesome. Love the simplicity yet detail of it. Perfection.

[Egads! These WWE and WWS books are seriously unwieldy!]

A buck or two at Staples or Office Depot.

 

Quick question, what is WWS? I know WWE is Writing with Ease.

 

Thanks!

[For those looking for K-1 Spanish curriculum,...]

Thanks for the ideas! Just what I was looking for. Will look into tonight.

[help with All about Spelling/Spelling Power/choices please]

We love AAS. Skipped over many of the lessons in level 1, since she was already reading very well. But, did slow down when we got to some "rules" i.e. "ck" is used at the end of word if immediately proceeded by a short vowel vs using "k". There are days when we do 2 lessons because the first lesson clicked quickly and she wanted to keep going. She loves doing spelling and I have to limit her to 2 lessons tops. Plus, you will have 2 other kids going through the program, so spreads out the cost of AAS. (in theory! ;) )

 

HTH!

[Where did I see.. AAS tiles in file folder?]

Sorry, MerryatHope had already responded!

[Where did I see.. AAS tiles in file folder?]

I surfed the web and found this. Hope it helps!

[Would the Redwall Series Be Too Scary For Grade 1 Read Alouds?]

Would love to hear what other thought about this series too! Never read it as a kid.

 

:bigear:

[What independent work can be done by first and second graders?]

All great ideas, thanks! A ping-pong ball is EXACTLY how I've been feeling. :tongue_smilie: I also have been thinking that I need to teach the kids to not come to me with help if they don't get something right away. Like, if dd8 is doing her math, instead thinking through a problem, she'll blurt out that she needs help....and I'm in the middle of helping ds7!

 

Have you ever heard of Sue Patrick and the workbox system? I don't think all of it would work, but she has an idea about giving each child 3 "help" passes. They have to give up a pass if they need help. It's supposed to help them really think if they need help or not. With young ones though, maybe more than 3? :)

 

just a thought! Not sure what I'm going to do when the 3 year old joins us! Right now I use nap times!!!

[Visual Latin coupon - great deal if you're interested]

Thanks! I just bought the DVDs! I appreciate you sharing the code! It's definitely over my girls' heads, but I'm looking forward to using it for me and then using it with them in the years to come.
