Can I ask whats on the DVDs? Is is someone teaching you how to teach?

Hi all, Do you need the Instructional DVDS? Especially if you have zero background in Latin? :bigear:

anyone? :bigear:

We are starting CC this year and I know they recommend Latins not so Tough. Has anyone used the earlier versions (1 or so?) I was thinking of getting it just to help my DD -6 . (not too intense but for her to see the connection). Any thoughts? Thank you as always! Lynn:)

www.momagenda.com great free downloadables Good luck! :)

Thank you ladies! That was beyond helpful!!!! :grouphug: Lynn

hi, My daughters starting Singapore Math Standards 1A this fall. Singapores website shows several kinds of manipulatives and has a chart to show which is used in each book (and its ALOT). Did you purchase their manipulatives? Others? Help! Thank you! Lynn http://www.singaporemath.com/Homeschool_Manipulatives_s/61.htm?searching=Y&sort=5&cat=61&show=50&page=1 https://www.singaporemath.com/articles.asp?id=123

Is Singapore the only conceptual program? :)

Hello! We are currently using Horizons Math for my dd age 6 and she is doing well with it. We are considering Saxon or Singapore but as I read the posts on this board I notice that one of Saxons attributes is it repeats quite a bit in a spiral method. I feel Horizons does the same? it seems to repeat quite a bit where my daughter recognizes what she needs to do which she seems to like but she also does not always like a challenge. If Saxon does this, where does it stand out? Between the three programs, what are their biggest strengths? I want her to learn strong math concepts so further math will not be such a struggle? So far she seems to grasp things quite well. Also for Saxon users, did you get their manipulatives? Thank you all! Lynn:bigear:

We have used Horizons and are trying to figure which one to go with, Singapore or Saxon. Horizon repeats (k) repeats quite a bit. Is it similar to Saxon in that regard? :) Lynn

HUGE help, thank you!:grouphug:

Hi Megan, We are in Michigan and there aren't and specific requirements . Thank you for your suggestions! :bigear: QUOTE=MeganW;3878906]Is this child going to be a first grader or a kindergartener? For kindergarten, you would need to add: - phonics/reading - handwriting - math - readalouds What else does your state require? Mine requires science & social studies. That could easily be satisfied by just doing a little reading about each geography, history, and science memory fact. (You don't even have to get books - the cards have info on the back if you would prefer to use those.) If first grade, also add: - spelling - grammar - writing - I am planning to beef up the science & history a little more this year by using actual plans rather than just readalouds.

We will be having an informational meeting on Monday, April 16th at 6:30pm at the Farmington Hills Public Library 32737 W. 12 Mile Rd Farmington Hills, MI 48334 Conference Room A please contact me at lynnashburn@yahoo.com with RSVP , questions , etc. Thank you! Lynn :)

Hi, We are starting a Classical Conversations group in Plymouth, MI this fall. Please PM me if you would like more information! :grouphug: Lynn

Hi all, I have been reading up on Logic of English. Is it just for a specific age group? Is it so something that would be an either or if we are using AAS? I have read the posts here and I guess I am not grasping something:confused:. Any info, especially from one using it would be great! Thank you ! Lynn :)

We have a vitamix which is not specifically a juicer but grinds everything that holds nutritional value PLUS you can do so much more with it. I purchased a refurbished model which still has the same 10 year warranty on it as a new one... Good luck!:) Lynn

I agree. I just started OPG and like it alot better and 100 EZ lessons. I did get it from my library to check it out. :) Lynn

Thank you for posting this! I was checking into this myself! Hope for more responses!:lurk5: Lynn
