wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ok... I really hope I am not boring everybody with this. So I am planning on switching my 6 year old to MFW K. (He turned 6 Oct 1) I have a son who will turn 5 Feb 18 (about the time we start MFW K) Could I do this with both boys together, then just accelerate my 6 year old when he is ready? They act just like twins and they do EVERYTHING together. So, if when my older son was ready to go on in math and english we would do that but do the other things together, would that work? Would it be awkward for my older son to do what his brother is doing when they get older? It just doesnt seem smart to do K for them seperate, then first for them seperate, just seems like way to much work! Ok, let me have it LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 From what I have seen MFW K is very gentle, so I think it would be fine to combine them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Here's what a good friend of mine said about MFW...she has two kiddos that are about 2 years apart: "Thats what I like about MFWorld curriculum...its light and sweet compared to many other more "serious" curriculums I think and both kids could do the same curriculum every year (except for math and reading maybe). We have flexibility to do what the kids are interested in too because the work load is lighter." So I bet you'll be able to combine as well! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J'etudie Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 It sounds like your boys would enjoy doing it together. I've been through MFWK twice and am planning it a third time next fall. Great books, fun crafts, and wonderful lessons! I'd combine them in your place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love3es Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 We're using MFW K this year. We started it in the fall when my ds had just turned 5. I have moved slowly and allowed him to work as long as he's interested. The next day, I simply pick back up where we left off. I like MFW K because it is very "tweakable." IMO, you could water it down and use it as a Pre-K program, or follow it as written for K. For what it's worth, my ds has really enjoyed it!

Susan in KY Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 We combine every thing but math with our two, who are 17 mos apart. It works more smoothly now than it did back in k/1st, but as long as you keep your eyes open for who needs a challenge and who needs a bit of a break, you should be fine.
