    We used the New one but I always wanted the new one. The Grass is always greener. I don't remember the differences at this point.

    How many hours did he do last year? Was that hours on task, or clock hours? I would start there and then see whether he will tolerate a bit more.

    Mostly just the some new curriculum materials We homeschooled year-round so it was uneventful really and the kids never knew what grade they were in for sure. I liked your ideas. The Photo idea is a fun one

    I would agree. You can always change your mind. You said you like to be a planner? Does your student like things planned out like that too? Might be worth considering
  21. JoyceTWTM
    I would move ahead, at her own rate

    Searching "developmental ophthalmology" might be a useful exercise

    R&S is well respected. Enjoy it :001_smile:

    We used LC1 after PL. If it was too hard, we just slowed down.
