I live in the Tysons Corner area. I dont know about any secular groups, but this is an email list that I am one that lists a lot of homeschool activities and classes. sharenet@att.net

Love AAR! We started with OPG and it was torture. Was not a good fit, but my daughter loved AAR, we are about 1/3 the way through AAR2.

I got it about 90 minutes after I ordered. I got 2 emails total, first with the receipt and second with a download link.

I just bought the light blue 1-6 with HSBC for $68 which was 50% off.

AAR!

We do AAR2 MWF and AAS1 TT. So far it is working for us.

We just finished K math and all we used were the colored snap cubes. We are going to start Miquon soon and I just bought c-rods.

I just bought the light blue series from HSBC, so excited to get started.

Thanks!

I have a few questions too... are the reviews and tests different files or are they included in the workbooks that you bind? Do the cds ever show up used? Or is my best bet to get in on the HSBC sale?

I am intrigued by MM and am thinking of switching from SM. My 5yo just finished SM Earlybird B and I am going to spend some time doing a little Miquon with her (mostly for fun) while I decide what to do next. I dont like how expensive SM is and that is a big part of why I am looking at MM. I want to get in on the HSBC sale and dont know what to buy. It seems like the "All Inclusive" package is the best for the money. But I think I only really need the Light Blue series. I just learned about MM from this site a few weeks ago and think it might be the perfect fit for us. I think I would print and have it spiral bound. Do others do this? What HSBC deal should I get? Can anyone give me any insight into all of this?

I am using AAR1 with my 5 year old and I don't think it moves slowly at all. We are set to complete it in about 2 months and for the price of it, I think it should last at least a semester. I dont know anything about LOE.

My 5 year old Kindergartner mixes up the sounds for b and d all the time. I really dont think she can tell the difference in the looks of the letters. Any tips or tricks?

We are doing OPG and ETC together. So far so good.
