[Can I reuse AAS material with addl children?]

Ok. Thanks for the tip about the extra cards. I have girls that are 1 year apart so I probably will need 2 sets.

Great! Thanks for the help!

[Can I reuse AAS material with addl children?]

I'm going to buy All About Spelling next year for my first grader. It is a little expensive so I was wondering what, if anything, can be reused for subsequent children?

Thanks so much for the help!

[MOH w/SOTW Activity Guide?]

Can you use MOH with the SOTW Activity Guide or the History Revealed Activity Guide for early elementary?

Just curious.

 

thanks so much

[Reformed History Textbooks??]

Are there any history textbooks from the reformed tradition? I'm not really interested in TOG or anything like that. I think it will be too much work for me to pull everything together. I have 4 almost 5 kids and the oldest will only be 6 when the baby comes so I'm a little pressed on time. I'm really looking for more of an open and go curriculum with worksheets for the kids to do. This would be for K and 1st grade!

 

Thanks so much for your help!

[What is involved in 1st grade LA?]

What makes up 1st grade LA? This is for next year.

 

Do I continue with phonics if my daughter can read? If so, what's a good program?

 

Do I need to do:

Phonics

Grammar

Writing

Spelling

Reading

Reading Comprehension

 

Also, what are some good reading programs? I don't really know what I should be challenging her with? Thanks so much. As you can see, this is my first year to HS!

[Reviews of MCP Math and Math Mammoth please!]

I THINK I'm down to deciding between these 2 math programs for my daughter (1st grade). Can someone please help me decide which to use!!!

Thanks!

[Good K/1st grade TG for math??]

What math programs for K and 1st grade have good teacher manuals (besides Saxon) I need some hand holding!

[Is there a History LIKE Apologia?]

Is there a history program out there like Apologia for 1st grade?

By that I mean, biblically based, 1 book to read (not pulling from other sources) that has an activity/notebook guide to go with it?

Thanks for the help!

[Can a K do CLE Math 100?]

I don't know either. I was also looking at Horizons for K and then maybe started CLE in 1st? I just don't know.

[Can a K do CLE Math 100?]

The title says it all. Can a K do CLE Math 100? I know I want to use that progarm, just didn't know if I needed to do something else first during K.

Just looking at all my options for next year.

[CLE or R&S Reading/Phonics Grade 1]

Which is better? I want a good, solid, advanced program but I don't think I like all of the pronunciation markings in CLE. I'm just looking at the samples online but I'm hoping someone with experience in both can help me out.

Thanks so much!

[CLE and phonics question.]

I've been wondering the same thing. I'm looking at this for my daughter for next year and didn't know if I had to do the reading or if I could just do the LA.

Hopefully someone can help!

[100 ez lessons question....]

I thought that was strange too so I didn't make my daughter sound those words out. I just told her this word is one you just have to remember.

[1st Grade Math?? Saxon, Horizons, Singapore, or R&S]

What do you think? I want something that is challenging but just don't know which is the best to go with. I'd like to find something I can stick with for a few years so which do you all think is best?

[Singapore Math - What do I need to buy??]

I'm looking at Singapore Math for next year. My daughter would be using 1A and 1B.

What do I need to buy. I see on the site that they have a Textbook, Workbook and Teacher's Guide for each level (1A and 1B). Do I need all of that?

 

Thanks so much!

[How often do you talk on the phone with Your closest friend?]

How often do you talk on the phone with your closest friend. I'm just trying to see what's normal. I talk with mine about 5 times a week. The calls are normally short though ~ 5 min. We mostly just call to check in, etc.

[Spanish or French for Kindergarten?]

Any suggestions on which language to do in K?

I've had 6 years of French (don't remember much) and I prefer this language but I feel like Spanish is a more practical language now.

Any thoughts??
