[IEW for 2nd grade???]

Is this really a good program? How teacher friendly is it? Prep time?

 

Also, would do I need to order for a 2nd grader. I can't seem to figure the website out.

[FLL 1 or 2]

If I didn't use FLL 1, do I need to start there with a second grader or can I just go straight into FLL2?

Wow! thanks!!

[Biblical worldview History for 2nd and 1st grade]

Title says it all. I need a history curriculum with a biblical worldview for 2nd and 1st grade. I'd like something for multiple ages if possible.

 

I looked at AIG but it says it's for 6-12th graders

MOH - everyone says it's best for 4-8th graders

 

So I'm at a loss. I'm not really interested in MFW or HOD. :(

 

Are there any other options?? Or has anyone used AIG or MOH successfully with 1st and 2nd graders??

 

Thanks so much

[AAS for 5 kids - Will it be too much??]

Thank you all so much for the responses. I'm still not 100% sure what to do but I guess that's normal. :001_smile: At least I still have some time to decide what to do. Thanks again

[AAS for 5 kids - Will it be too much??]

I have 5 kids, 3 of whom will be in school next year. I cannot find a spelling program I like. (OK, I've only tried 2: Building Spelling SKills by CLP and the spelling in HOD)

 

I just don't know if AAS would be too much work for me with 5 kids.

Should AAS be my first or last resort as far as looking for a spelling curriculum goes? Should I look for something that is less teacher intensive?

 

I honestly am stumped. Also, if 2 kids started at the same level, do I need to buy separate supplies for them, or can they share?

 

Thanks so much

[Covenant Home is changing?]

Thanks so much!

[Covenant Home is changing?]

Anyone know anything about this? I looked at it a couple of years ago and decided to not use it. I'll be interested to see what they are changing/adding.

[SL Reading Program or DITHOR?]

Can anyone compare these two programs? This is for next year for my 2nd grader.

Thanks so much

[Does SWB still recommend Writing Strands?]

Does SWB still recommend Writing Strands in "The Well Trained Mind" or has this been replaced with WWE? This is for my 1st grader.

Thanks so much.

[Singapore Math and TG??]

Great! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer and explain. I do appreciate it!

[Singapore Math and TG??]

Do I need the teacher's guides for Singapore Math 1a and 1b?

 

I have NO idea what to buy??? Intensive Practice, Word Problems, or just the regular 1a and 1b???

 

Thanks

[HWT-What do I need to buy?]

For K, can i just buy the student text or do i need the TG and extras? Thanks so much!

[Anyone try Teach Me Joy Curriculum for K3-K5?]

I haven't but I am planning on using it this year with my son. Hopefully someone else will be able to help!

[Where Can I Find Bible Checklist for DD?]

Wow! These are great! Thanks so much!

[CLE LTR - word cards & phrase cards...good to have??]

We just finished this program and loved it! We used the word and phrase cards everyday but never used the letter cards.

 

Hope that helps!

[Teach me Joy?]

Could I use "Fruit for Tender Hearts" with my K3 son for next year? He'll be 4 in December. Also, about how much time does it take per day and are there any additional resources that I would need to buy? It looks like a great program.

[Looking for Horizon's Math K review]

We used it for my K this year. We're switching to CLE 100 for this coming year.

I wouldn't use it (Horizons) in the long run because I did NOT like the TG. I like something that tells me exactly what to do. However, it was a good gentle introduction to doing "formal" math everyday which is what I wanted.

I do not regret using it for K.

[1st grade grammar help!]

If you're looking at R&S, you may want to look at Climbing to Good English. I had debated between the two before decided to go with Climbing to Good English. It's got a lot of phonics review in the beginning, but you end the year learning quite a bit. Ultimately, I found it more age appropriate than R&S 2 for 1st. For the price, I was ecstatic! ($3 something @ RR)

 

 

Thanks! I'll go check this out. I haven't looked at it before.

 

To the previous poster, I can't really put my finger on why I don't want to use FLL. I checked it out of the library and it just really wasn't my style I guess?? I may consider it if something else doesn't go over well with my daughter next year. Thanks for the links to the PLL.

[1st grade grammar help!]

Thanks for the thoughts...anyone else?

[1st grade grammar help!]

I'm trying to decide what to use next year. I don't really want to use FLL. I'm trying to decide between:

 

Growing with Grammar

Easy Grammar 2

Rod and Staff 2 at half pace.

 

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Also, will I need to add a writing program? I do like WWE so I may use that?

 

Thanks so much

[What to do with all of our work from this year???]

Ok. Well this makes me feel better. I didn't want to keep all 180 Horizon math pages but just didn't know if most moms did! :)

Thanks for the help!

[What to do with all of our work from this year???]

We will be finishing up our first year of homeschooling (K) if about a month. This child is my oldest but we are currently expecting our 5th this summer. Looking down the road, that's a LOT of worksheets, projects and crafts!!

 

So, how much do I keep?? What do I throw away??

 

Any advice would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks
