I'm not quite sure how it works out with Singapore Math but as far as math goes, Engineering minded folks should really get into Alegra in 8th grade. I didn't have that option in public school and had to wait until 9th grade and was behind when I got to college.

Homeschooling with my newborn was easy and stayed easy up till she recently turned 3... She is less easily directed these days.

But HOD works well with all sorts of families.

Oh wow. That's too bad. Maybe one of the previous suggestions will work, to restore the finish. Did it just make a dull "B" or did it remove color as well? I have real hardwood floors too, I will try painters tape or something. It removed color too. I have some maple floors and some oak, I don't kn...

LHFHG is a great program and I would agree with pp that one day at a time is best. We have occasionally doubled up over the years and they don't retain as much. Slow and steady wins the race. If your son enjoys it you might occasionally use a rainy Saturday to get an extra day in. But you don't need...

Thanks ladies for the ideas. I was quite shocked, my kids have put tape all over the house over the years and I've never had it damage anything, leftover adhesive sometimes but not actual damage. Life lesson I guess!

Sorry to hear this! We had issues with masking tape residue on our ceramic tile when left on too long, so switched to electrical tape and it works much better. HTH, Kathy No, I don't have any adhesive left on the floor, the tape literally pulled the finish off the floor. It was on the floor for 4 d...

Oh no! I left the masking tape B on my hardwood floor too long. When I peeled it off it pulled off the finish. I now have a capital B on my floor forever.

We're in the same boat. My 10yo was sick for a month around Thanksgiving. Now my 12yo and 10yo are both sick. it's been a rough fall/winter so far for us.

I usually make up my own tune for the fingerplays if none is listed. Just personal preference I think.

I would agree with the pp's, she should be ready to move ahead. I would just start out half speed and see how it goes.

My 10yo is in Preparing for 5th grade doing Singapore math 4B / 5A and R&S3. She is strong in math and weak in Grammar.

Your little one is doing very well with her fine motor skills. :D :D Kathleen Thanks for the laugh, I never saw it that way! :lol: Julie, I couldn't laugh about it at the time, I was mad until she came running at me and said "I'm sorry, NOW Big Hug!" who could be mad at that angel? I knew you guys ...

This is what it looks like when the 3 year old gets ahold of her older sister's math books, and it was brand new...

My oldest is in public school so we keep fairly close to the public school schedule.

we don't write in the singapore textbooks but I photocopy the practice exercises and let them do their work on that.
