can't leave it be.. just prefer SWB

Using Calvert this year. planning SOO easy, having the list printed out so great, kids knowing what's required and it not being from me, has lessened bargaining of " can I do this tomorrow"

BUT... can't leave it be.

 

 

Do y'all remember the old Tootsie Roll comercial where the little boy asks and owl how many licks does it take to get to the chewy center of a Tootsie Roll loolie pop? The owl gives three licks then bites it . gives back the stick and says " THRREEEE"

 

Well, how many weeks does it take me to start tweaking a boxed curriculum..

THRRREEE.

 

substituting SWB MCT materials for Calvert Grammar and Composition. I love WWE, and FLL. And MCT for poetry,

 

just saying.

and knowing,..... my gun, my bullet, my foot.

 

cheers and happy Friday all,

I actually signed up for Calvert knowing I would still be playing with other stuff such as WWE and FLL:D I am still looking forward to Calvert though;)

And surprised to like the math so much.

ds says it's the best math he's had. This is all about fit. like jeans brands.

Levis might be the " best" but wranglers fit my .... uh needs. better.

 

ds , who loves history , is also liking the text book used in History.

 

We are using the ATS, and I really like that someone else will look at his work. He just finished something , and I thought,,,, oooh,, I see some mistakes. I asked him if he'd read back over his answers,

He was a little snippy and said " yes" ( I'm thinkin... uh, yes Ma'am)

but then thought.. " okay, let your Calvert teacher correct you)

 

THAT was worth some money to me.

 

Next year , He wants to continue with Calvert Math, ( and I have this lovely collection of Pre Algebra curricula)

But we'll do other things for other subjects. Thai gives SWB a bit of time to get more levels done too.
