  1. She is living with her great-grandparents right now, her family has recently gone through a large shake up so its a complicated situation. I don't think she realizes she is about the same level as Willow, and in the past two days with some review its looking like shes closer to a 5th grade level in math so that helps. She is doing well so far and is trying really hard so I think it will all go well. We are only 2 days in though so of course things could change.
  2. A Wrinkle in Time and Number the Stars are both on the list, we're going with MBTP units for most of her literature. I'm keeping her at one chapter of assigned reading each day and an hour where she can read anything. Right now we are breaking the hour into 3- 20 min chunks.
  3. She placed in the same exact range mathmatically as my 8 year old, THANKFULLY I bought the entire MM Light Blue Series on CD so the plan is to give all the 3rd and 4th grade unit tests over the next week or two to see exactly where she is lacking. She claims to hate reading but I'm going to try her on some quality literature I enjoyed about that age and see where we can get her. We're starting with Bridge to Terabithia and The Giver. Free Reading wise I have a big basket of books for Willow already and am adding several books right about my nieces reading level. Grammar wise I have her starting Daily Language Review at a 6th grade level, trying to keep it short and not push too hard. She expressed an interest in French so I ordered French for Children for her. Grade wise we are keeping everything in the 6th grade range so she doesn't feel too far behind, mental health is a concern right now. Science we have a review book for just to keep her up until it all settles down, and History she'll be tagging along with Willow.
  4. I have agreed to add my niece into our homeschool starting tomorrow, any advice to make the transition go smoothly? She is 12 and supposed to be in 7th but is very behind in math and somewhat behind in english and reading.

  8. Hi guys! I'm Amy, mom of 3. We've been homeschooling for 3 years now but are making the move to classical education. Kiddos are Willow- 8 and a mix of grades 3 and 4, and Audrey and Ari both 6 and in 1st. I'm super happy to be here and i can't wait to get to know everyone (mama needs some homeschool friends!) :hurray:
