NotSoObvious Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 If we finish up FLL 4 this year in 5th, would it make sense to start Hake 6th next year? I'd like to transition them into something more independent. (FLL has been perfect for us up to this point.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Or should I not start FLL 4 (we just finished 3) and transition to Hake 5th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I used FLL3 last year and now I am using Hake 5 for DS 8. It is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodland Mist Academy Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I would probably transition to Hake now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 If you haven't already bought FLL 4, I'd just go with Hake 5. My kids -really- got tired of the entirely mom dependent format by that age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 OK, I think I will transition to Hake 5 now then. I have never seen it though! My girls really like and need the spiral approach though. What about the writing? Is it solid and clear? Too much as far as WTM goes? What do you think?

justLisa Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 OK, I think I will transition to Hake 5 now then. I have never seen it though! My girls really like and need the spiral approach though. What about the writing? Is it solid and clear? Too much as far as WTM goes? What do you think? There is not much writing. The lesson starts with two vocab words at the top. Here I'll give you a sample... Lesson 1 The sentence: Two Parts vocab with definitions - essential and nonessential then it defines a sentence as group of words expressing a complete thought. Gives several examples Talks about the 1. subject 2. predicate with examples and underlined subjects and predicates. Next page write the predicat of these sentences draw a line between subject/predicate write the subject of these sentences Then it ends with a review set. Choose the words to complete the sentences 1-8 1. Water and sunshine are (essential,nonessential) for growing pine trees. Several sentences to follow including choose the right word subject/predicate and to remember parts of the sentence definitions. Write the subject of sentences 9-12 write the predicate of sentences 13-16 Sentences 17-25 draw a vertical line between the subject/predicate. The lessons all follow this format. We were used to the script of FLL and hand holding so at first I would sit for a few minutes and just read through the new definition with him, then tell him to just follow instructions throughout. Hope that helps a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
