BikeBookBread Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 After a long absence from the boards I am back! We just spent 6 weeks visiting my ailing mom in Washington state, and am back on the road again as a family. DH is doing well. His ankle is completely healed. He is riding his bike again, swimming and doing Crossfit regularly. We are bringing PDG home for second grade. HUZZAH!!! I am not sure how to start... I feel like I need to do some sort of evaluation as to where she is academically. She reading exceedingly well - almost 5th grade level per her first grade teacher, but her math is sorely lacking. How would you determine where she is? The math curriculum that was used in her public school was all of the place... Lots of counting money, time, And basic counting. It is so different than Singapore. I feel like just buying a Singapore book and having her go at it, and adjusting from there. Her handwriting is atrocious, but she knows all as about leaves LOL.. They studied trees for 9 months. It was a running joke around our home. Advice? I posted here because I thought the question too general for the curriculum board. It is SO GOOD to be back!

BikeBookBread Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Hey! I wondered what happened to you! Welcome back! Life happened. LOL. I can't do smilies... I am on my iPad. DH is travelling a ton for work, I was taking care of my mom, end of school stuff, etc... Now I have to order curriculum like a mad woman, file our LOI and get back into the HS mindset again... I honestly got pretty lazy about thinking about it while PDG was in public school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
