We only do about 15-20 minutes, if we dont get done, we will come back to it later when our brains are refreshed. nancyt.

I love the Apologia for the younger students. Exploring Creation through Astronomy Botany zoology 1 & 2 They are great, and can be done through 6th grade.

I switched from MUS to Rightstart math. After I got it I found they are so very simular that I should have stayed with MUS they are cheaper. nancyt.

We are just starting to learn these at church. Next week the entire congregation will be learning 1 catechism a week. Do you think this would be a good cd for all of us to listen to at home? thank you GOd bless, nancyt.

I love the rightstart math games they are great. nancyt.

We like going to the library or barnes and noble and get the books that are grade level. THere are alot of history, fun and science. nancyt. l

Saxon is great, Singapore is really good, Rightstart math is good and so is MUS. I am not crazy about the MCP but it is still good, as long as your child enjoys and is not getting bored. Their basics are all good. It's sad we cant go out and just let children try them all before we buy. (lol) nancyt.

Hi, I have found great book lists of the classics, on ambleside online, and on an old fashioned homeschool. They both use alot of classic literature. nancyt.

all of those places I use also to get used books. I would also google saxon and the one you will be using, you can get all kinds of responses that way as well. nancyt.

If she is going that fast and enjoys it, by all means let her go. that is awesome, wish my dd would like it that much. nancyt.:)

I am looking forward to hearing responses on the Spanish for CHildren, from what I saw on their website it looks great, I use their Latin program, and was thinking of doing both next year, anyone got suggestions or comments on that? thank you, nancyt.

Thank you these are great, I have copied some of their notebooking pages. nancyt.

There is a great Spanish program out there now, it is Spanish for Children, it is a classical way of teaching spanish, It is by the same people that Did the curriculum Latin for CHildren. GOd bless, nancyt.

HI, IMHO. I think for the most part doing Classical at home is like CM. Classical schools are very structured, and CM is layed back. I do the same things as the classical schools, but in the CM style. It is very refreshing. nancyt.

Angela, thank you so very much. I will be teaching 3rd grade. It seems great, I have read all the info in the catalog and on line, but I wanted to check first hand with what someone thinks Any info you can pass on would be greatly appreciated. God bless and thanks, nancyt.:)

Thank you that made me laugh (funn-ih) that reminds me of the southern civil war movie i was watching yesterday, I am extremely southern being in FLa, but I dont pronounce my words like that. Thank you again, lol

I like both MUS and Math Mammoth,my dd knows how to add on paper, but when you ask her orally, she can never remember, we are in third grade,I figured if she is going to be doing it on paper, and knows it, then I will just let her be. Of course her favorite subject is NOT math. lol, nancyt.

I would praise the Lord for taking her out early. The closeness and bond that happens in homeschooling is awesome. They can also experience a new baby, and be there to help mom. God bless, nancyt.

My daughter has gotten very negative, she started this around 8, she will be 9 in june, It seems like nothing I use in the homeschooling area is good enough. complain complain complain. She is now loosing money because of the attitude. it helps for the moment but starts up again. Is their something in this stage or age of life? nancyt.

Hi Florida sunshine girls!!!!! anyone in the Pensacola area, (besides me) nancyt.

I really like Handwriting without tears, and A reason for handwriting. It is just a personal decision. They are all pretty good just a little different style in the writing itself. BOy's sometimes have problems in their writing. SO what would help him to be most neat and accurate. hth God bless, nancyt.

I think it is a personal preference, I love the Veritas Press Cards, how you can hang pegs on the learning, and have lots of books of choice to choose to go along with it. I love SOTW 2, however, it does not have enought "christian" "Reformation" stuff for me, but it is still good. I love TOG it is great, but very expensive to get all the books, and they weren't in my library. But I would say they are all great. It would definately be a personal preference on how you want it taught to your children. GOd bless, nancyt.

I really like a reason for handwriting, it is colorful and does not take alot of time. nancyt.

We love lapbooks, I just wish I was creative enough to come up with ideas, instead of always having to buy them premade. Any suggestions? thank you nancyt.

I think you are doing something right. I wish I could finish all that I have a dawdler. nancyt.
