This summer we are doing the Supercharged Science Summer Camp. DD is going to be 6 years old next week, and we are having too much fun (real science/ real answers to an inquisitive mind). We will be using their escience curriculum during the regular school year. My dd cannot get enough of this stuff.... if only I could be cloned?? ;)

My dd (5 1/2 year old) and I like math alot (I have a degree in mechanical engineering). We are almost through with year 1 of MEP, and were never bored. We have looked at and and tried sample pages of Singapore, but so far have thought that MEP was a better fir for us personally. We complete all the Lessons Plans as they prescribe (the worksheets are great, but so are the additional activities, don't skip these, they are some of the best parts IMO). My daughter loves the variety, and the pretend shopping and so on... We are not opposed to spending money on a product if we think it is worth it, however, so far, MEP is offering us more. DD is stronger in Wiggly Willie, Sociable Sue traits and weaker in Competent Carl, and Perfect Paula traits, so far...

Melissa, I have both PAL writing and reading programs and AAS. My 5 year old dd can read, however one of the main reasons I bought the PAL reading was to reinforce phonics in a fun effective way. We are having more fun than should be alowed in school and dd is learning the material so solidly. I am impressed! We are only on Lesson 9, but have experienced enough to understand that these techniques are a gift. DD balked at ETC online and other worksheets in this style. Kristi
