Prairie Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Today after much anxious waiting our Life of Fred books arrived. DD grabbed it and off to the bedroom she went. Next she was asking for a notebook for her answers....does it get any better than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamato3 all-boy boys Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 The only thing better is when you hear her *laughing* while doing math!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindyg Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My son loves these too. I have to throw my body across the page sometimes to keep him from reading ahead. (We have a strict one-lesson-per-day rule!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Oh how we love Fred too! He's wonderful! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiobrain Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 my 11 yo INSISTED on reading them in bed all the way through (fractions & decimals & percents). We are now "re-reading" them and doing all the problems. He also declared, when he discovered that fred's "back story" was in a specific book, "I can't wait to get to Calculus!" :D good, cause I sure can!

lovemykids Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My dd wishes she could "just" do LOF for math. I wish I had that much faith in the program. :glare: I love it, don't get me wrong, but as a stand alone- not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 How about when you catch your 14 yo doing the Advanced Algebra when she's supposed to be doing History & English and isn't even doing math this semester? She even had a notebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddysmom26 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Today after much anxious waiting our Life of Fred books arrived. DD grabbed it and off to the bedroom she went. Next she was asking for a notebook for her answers....does it get any better than that? I had the same response with my daughter! shes had to read through them immediately! Now if I can just decide on the rest of her curriculum! What else are using for Science History etc..?? Just curious as im still trying to decide!

Brindee Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 It was a hit for our younger ds too! He LOVED LoF books! mamato3--That happened a couple of times with my ds. I heard him laughing and I called, "What are you doing, you're supposed to be doing your schoolwork!" He called back, "I AM doing my schoolwork! I'm working on math!" :D Gotta love that!

My 11 y/o asked me to get Calculus just for that reason :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 We are loving LoF here as well. Ds finished the MCP series last fall. I am having him work through Singapore 6 and LoF Fractions, Decimals, Percents (both books) to fill in and/or beef up before we do Alg. next year sometime. He just laughs his way through the LoF lessons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemykids Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Oh yeah, my eleven year old dd loves it! She is always spilling over with laughter, and repeating the silly little stories after she does her work. She tells her dad when he is around too. My youngest dd, who hates math, wants to know when she can start using the series. :):lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 We are going to do Saxon 7/6 M-Th and LOF on Fridays...I think Friday's should be as fun as possible. We take time off when we need it, (harvest, holidays, kite festivals, etc.) but try to stay on school year round with a little lighter in the summer. I'm just SOOOOO glad that I listened to all the comments on LOF and took the leap. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 He also declared, when he discovered that fred's "back story" was in a specific book, "I can't wait to get to Calculus!" My previously math-hating son said the exact same thing after I read him the beginning of the Calculus book! I wonder how many other families read a Calculus textbook as a bedtime story??? :lol: We are huge Fred fans here ~ I even gave DH the new LoF Linear Algebra book for his birthday last week, and he was thrilled! I can hear him cackling in his office late at night. :D Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRAAB Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I bought LoF to supplement and beef up MUS Algebra. My dd loves LoF. Never a complaint about doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
