  1. Is there such a big difference between the 5th grade book and the sixth grade book?

     

    In the new WTM, Susan suggests starting in the 5th grade book, Progressing with Courage (which is actually the 6th grade title). So it confused me a little.

     

    There seems to be a lot of repetition of material when I look at the table of contents. I can't get an idea of the actual difficulty level of the materials.

     

    Would starting in 6th or 7th be too ridiculous?

     

    Thanks ladies for all your help!

  2. Paige,

     

    I'd love to hear what others have to say also.

     

    I am doing CW Homer A and have the Harvey's Grammar but I really don't like it. I think Siloam has talked about using Analytical Grammar(AG) and Junior Analytical Grammar (JAG) with her children. (Look under the thread called "CM and Progymnasmata" in this forum.) The only problem with AG is it's high cost $99 new. JAG is cheaper ($40 new and you can find used copies (~$20) easier but it really only covers through 4-5 Grade. (Of course, in my son's PS 5th Grade, they did NO Grammar last year LOL.)

  3. Since it's the end of the first quarter and most of the major curriculum purchases have been made and the money mostly spent for the year, I'm wondering how much I could get out of just buying the Seminar Workbook or if The DVDs are the real meat of the program. I have a sixth grader.

     

    Any input?

  4. I think you should go with what your heart tells you to do.

     

    If this were the oportunity of a lifetime, I'd do it. Is there any way you could all go and arrange for childcare for the outings they can't go to? Otherwise I tink the fact you are even asking saying you aren't 100% sure you are comfortable going and leaving (probably the toddler.)

     

    More than anything else you have to be comfortable with it.

  5. I would be very careful with giving psychiatric medication to a child. If you are not extremely confident with the expert you are dealing with, I would ask for referrals and find someone you have confidence in and has had success with treating others with a similar conditions to your dd.

     

    HTH,

  6. Lucinda,

     

    You probably have a really amazing child. Most likely you could write a book on child raising since you have been fortunate enough to have successfully raised 5 sons. Before you know it, you'll be getting ready to dress up as Mother of the Bride. I'm sure you are already aware of how fast the years past.

     

    You are the best mom God could have given your daughter.
