WIS0320 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Anyone else using MP Grade 2 next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene Austen Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm planning to use it pretty much as written for my youngest DD. I'm excited about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebeccabillington Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 yup, i am using it for my very young 3rd grader. As is. Although I think I may skip the Beatrix Potter Lit guide and do Farmer Boy instead. My books are all lined up, ready to go.... I can't wait. I will also be doing MP Kindergarten.

VeritasMama Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I'm planning on using this with a few modifications. I am using Singapore Math instead of R & S, and we are also using book selections from Ambleside Online Year 2. I am also throwing in some Catholic resources from CHC as well. This year has been too hectic for me to really plan well myself, so it was MP to the rescue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama25angels Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I will be using the 3rd grade plans and i'm wondering if anyone is NOT going to do all of the recommended writing? If not what will you do orally and what will you have your student do the writing in? My ds will be in 4th grade, but he is a resistant writer so, I know he won't be able to do all the writing.

TheAutumnOak Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Me! :D I was going to go back a year and do the grade 1 package, but my son really wants to do the 2nd grade package...DH also thinks it would be good for him...I will just have to give him extra help since we are moving into MP for the first time... We are planning to use it as written...I am also using MP Kindergarten and 6th grade packages...I just have to figure out how to schedule 3 different grade levels :svengo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnylady303 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Me!! I am using MUS or maybe BA for math but otherwise, just as written. I am excited. I am heading into Louisville to pick it up today. Can't wait to dig into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, you can drive and pick up your materials!...Did you go to the conference?...I wanted to go but couldn't make that trip this year...Maybe next year ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnylady303 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Wow, you can drive and pick up your materials!... Yeah. It's actually kind of a funny story. We debated and debated between homeschooling and Highland Latin School. We decided to homeschool for a lot of reasons, but really liked what HLS does. So we've been homeschooling for two years and just found MP. I had no idea!! I did some research and was so excited about it. If we love it as much as I think we will, I'll be going to next years conference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is funny...Now you get to homeschool and do what you like from Highland's Latin :001_smile: Are you doing K and 2nd grade?...If all goes well I will plan to go to next year's conference as well...It is a 7 hour drive for me though :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnylady303 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Actually 1st and 2nd. My older is really more like a 3rd grader but not quite up to the 3rd grade package reading level. She's doing 4th grade math though, which is why we're not using their math. I'm hoping get her back "on track" somehow. I'm not sure. We know quite a few kids who have gone to HLS and their education has been awesome and they are so well spoken and thoughtful. So I think this will be our way. I may go heavier on science though.

I'm not doing the lit guide writing, we'll use more off a CM approach (narration, maybe some copywork/dictation). I think a lot of the comprehension questions we will discuss orally. (I read that at HLS the teacher and class discuss the question, form a good sentence which the teacher writes on the board and the students copy.)

Karen in CO Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm using MP2 along with OM3 next year. I'll use the MP for skill subjects and the OM for content subjects. At least that is my plan so far. I've lined up the first week of both programs and it looks pretty good to me - just 35 more weeks to work out.

Do you think you'll use their grammar or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Jo Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Do you think you'll use their grammar or something else? If it's at all like the sample, yes. It looked very WWE/CM/KISS to me - plus memorization. (I'm assuming you mean MP's grammar, not R&S.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
