I have not yet joined a TOG co-op but have looked into them extensively. For whatever reason, there are at least 3 different TOG co-ops within my vicinity and they are very popular. I have thought of switching curriculum and joining one, mainly just to have a regular group of kids my kids can "do school" with. But so far, I haven't actually participated in one.

For next school year, I will need Rod & Staff spelling & english. We used to live near a convention and each year I would purchase from a wonderful booth there. We recently moved. There are not any area conventions that are within driving distance for me with R & S. Where do you usually purchase them from?? Thanks! Melissa

Hi, I have a gifted 10 year old that will be officially in 5th grade in the fall. I am trying to nail down what to use for math with him. Math is definitely his best and easiest subject for him. He is doing Horizons Math 4 right now, coupled with Singapore Math 4. He's doing just the student book in the Singapore "just for fun" and by choice. He is good at self-teaching, which is great since math is not my best subject. For fall, should I continue with Horizons 5? Should we do Singapore Math 5 too, as I am sure he will ask for it? Or, I also had someone ask me if we were starting him in pre-algebra, which is what he would be in if he was at the local public school. I know nothing yet about pre-algebra material or curriculum. What is the best age to begin that? Any tips or advice? Since math is not my best subject, I would prefer to either have it set up to where he can learn on his own or where it requires minimal teaching. :) Thanks!

We have completed MFW K, MFW 1st, MFW Adventures, and are about to finish MFW ECC. Here's what I would do (and plan to do with my 2 year old probably), as I do think MFW K is fairly easy and simplistic... PreK 4: MFW K Kinder: MFW 1st 1st: Adventures Adventures is a VERY sweet and so far my favorite of the MFW we've completed. I think it would be perfect for a 1st grader. I probably would not do CTG with a 1st grader (as the oldest child) just based upon the books I've seen with it.

How to schedule MCT Sentence Island? Combine with FLL4?
mommyto4QT replied to mommyto4QT's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Anyone? -
I wanted to try out MCT and found Sentence Island on sale. I would like to use Sentence Island next year with my 9 yr old along with FLL4. After receiving the Sentence Island books, I am curious how to schedule it....the TM is not very clear. Any suggestions on how to implement MCT Sentence Island with FLL? I also might try to add in CAP W&R, maybe. Or maybe WWE.

We've not used Writing with Ease yet, but thinking about switching to it this fall. After looking at the website, I am confused as to what I need to purchase. There's a main book, workbook, and student pages?? Do I need all 3 at each level? I will have a 4th grade and 2nd grader I would like to start using this with.....so I know I will need 2 different levels. I am also interested in finding any of it used that I can. Thanks

We are using MFW 1st this year along with MFW ECC. Last year we did MFW Adventures with MFW K. I do add a few things and change the science. Overall, I like that it is planned out for me each week and each day. I also like how flexible it is. You can PM me any specific questions.

My son loves to read classic books and he requested that the Jungle Book. I thought it would make a great Easter gift! (YAY books!) But online there so many different types/editions to chose from. Which is your favorite and why? I would prefer one that is hardcover if possible and that will survive life with 4 kids :)

FLL4: Anyone use it? What do you think?
mommyto4QT replied to m0mmaBuck's topic in General Education Discussion Board
My DS, also 8 years old, is also finishing FLL3. I too have the same question you do about FLL4. Mine has been a tad bored by the repetitiveness of FLL3. -
