  1. Thanks I didnt know that before DS is only 7 years old now . I am going to try your way.
  2. I am using Standards edition . But I did skip the review . Now I am not going to that. Looking back I think I did make a mistake with that.
  3. He told me that LA is to easy but I didnt want him to go to the next level untill he works decent enough. Math is also easy but he needs to get his math facts done first. Because of this I dont think he is ready for the next level.
  4. I have tried that for a long time . When I tell him to do that he does it , but I have to tell him that all the time . I want him to do this without telling him every time .
  5. Thanks I really like this! I think this will help .
  6. Dear all, How to make a mastery math curriculum into a spiral math program. We are now using Singapore Math and I believe he needs to do something extra for not forgetting what he had learned . He understands new concepts very quickly but he can also forget them quickly. I dont want to buy a new math curriculum I am very happy with Singapore Math and so is DS . Is using CWP and IP a way to make SM spiral ? I didnt use IP before because I thought it would slow him down because SM seemed to easy for him. He also hates math facts and I think thats also one of the things were we have to work on. Thanks in advanced , Visitor
  7. Dear all, I need your advise on this . DS7 understands new concepts very quickly and his handwriting is very good . He reads above his age level. But because he reads quickly and writes quickly everything is turning into sloppy work. His handwriting is very beautiful but because he wants to get done quickly I cant understand what he is writing now. The same with dictation I know, he knows to write the words good but because he writes without thinking he makes mistakes. When I show him his mistakes he gives right away the good answer and gets upset because he knew to write it correctly but still made a mistake. The same with reading. He reads many years above his age level but because he is reading quickly he makes very strange mistakes The same with math he understands the concepts , but because he counts quickly he makes mistakes. I didnt have this problem with him before . He loves his curriculums and homeschooling . When I do not teach him he gets upset . I have this problem with him for 4 weeks now with him. When he is doing his excersises I dont feel that he hates it at all. We talked about it many times but I cant get him out of this problem . I hope for some advise because I dont know how to fix this with him. Thanks in advance , Visitor
  8. Congratulations with your new baby coming .. Thanks for this topic ! I really have the same problem and 4 kids :) We do Dutch, English , Arabic and also French now . I also feel overwelmed . All 4 languages are important for us , so I dont know how to cut down on this .
  9. We are going to add French Skoldo and English Spelling . I am still thinking if I am going to introduce Lego Wedo this year or next year
  10. Sorry cant help you but I am going to following this with you. We are learning now with scratch.... It looks very intresting
  11. Dear all, is Zacarro a good book to supplement with Singapore Math & Beast Academy ? DS7 loves math and understands new concepts quickly but is bad with math facts (he hates repeating them) . Because of this I want to slow him down and get his math facts done before moving to the next level . And how much time do you spend on Zaccaro ? Thanks in advanced
  12. I love the way Rightstarts looks but it is so expensive :-(
  13. Thanks all , I love your answers ! It really helped me
  14. Hihi she sounds like my little boy (6 years old) I just had more patients with him. I can tell you he is much better now. I didnt pay much attention towards him playing with words and repeat or give him more instructions. At the end he still had to do what I wanted him to do. Now he knows that playing with words doesnt work with me :-)
  15. Dear all , I wanted to buy LEGO Wedo 2.0 . But I was wondering if there would be something similar and cheaper :-) . My boys are looking to do robot programming with Scratch. They are 7 and 6 years old
  16. We love Singapore Science (My pals are here) and Real Science 4 kids . My boys also love to read Science books by them selve. Watching Magic School bus is also great.
  17. Dear all, what did you use with your gifted toddler for math. I need something fun and hands-on. With my older kids I used Singapore Earlybird . But now I prefer something more hands-on to use it with SM .DS is begging to do some homeschooling like his older brothers. He is almost 2 but can count and talks very advanced for his age. We need something that will sute his young age. We are already doing some kitchen table math (counting toys )
  18. Dear all, Is someone using Galore Park History and can you recommand it to me? I want to use a Secular History Curriculum. Thanks in advanced

    Futon ?

    Dear all , I am considering buying an organic futon . How many inch or cotton layers do you recommend ? It is for DH and me . And what is better putting the Futon on tatami mats or buy a special bed ?
  20. I feel sorry for you . Big huggs ... I have the same problem with my mother and I think my mother is worse then yours. All my life I asked my self why she is so hatefull towards me . I accepted that this was part of my life and this made me a better mother . I believe that this made me a more loving mother as I don't want my kids feel the way I did when I was young and grow up. I decided to break the hate and leave her hate in her own heart. God mad me more stronger because my life experiences . She told me many times that my happines is not wat she cares about . But I know God cares and gave me more Wonderful things in my live now . Don't let this situation let you go down but keep strong for yourself and your kids. I decided to change something negative in positive .
  21. Thanks for sharing I really needed to read this news after this day
