mumkins Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 About how long is it takng you to teach a lesson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbows Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 we did kindy this past year....the individual lessons are quite short in terms of time. At the end, we did 5 lessons per day/session (we had not started in Sept and wanted to finish in July) and it took anywhere for 40-60 minutes--but the books were longer and harder for DS I was really satisfied with the program and the time it took. Wasn't too long, but DS learned a lot and didn't feel overwhelmed (and learned to read!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohsmom23 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 We are using McRuffy K Phonics and spend about 20 minutes per lesson. We don't do everything listed in the teacher's manual though. I leave out the handwriting and spelling portions and other things I don't feel will benefit. It would take us a lot less time for each lesson, but dd tends to dawdle over the worksheets and take her time ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 How do you like the McRuffy Science? Did you joing the yahoo group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohsmom23 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 We've only done 5 lessons from the McRuffy science so far. It's pretty basic and gives a brief introduction to several areas of science. It's mostly activities and experiments so there's not a lot of info if the kids want to go more in depth on a topic. Dd has enjoyed the lessons so far and gets excited when I mention we're doing a science project. Overall, I think it's a fun, introductory science program for K. It's not something that I will continue after this year though because we plan to continue with HOD and will just do the science as scheduled in their guides. HTH!

nukeswife Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 For us it takes about 20-30 minutes. My dd has wonderful penmanship so that doesn't take long at all. We'll sometimes take longer if we're having fun with the games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
