Re: Running 3 guides but only using 2 sets of story time boo

That is usually what I have to do. Typically I start asking a couple of questions. And once my younger student was busy answering all of them, then I tell her it is her brother's turn. Also - we usually talk about the stuff we are reading intermittently as well. So I am asking questions while readin...

Re: Running 3 guides but only using 2 sets of story time boo

Thanks so much for your reply. I had not thought about the fact that the year Preparing would be one that would resolve itself. Your reply was very helpful. I think I will then just continue to keep them together for now and then later when it gets to much for the younger, slow it down for her. But ...

Re: Running 3 guides but only using 2 sets of story time boo

Re: Common Core

I couldn't agree more. In my state common core is already in place and I haven't changed a thing with how I school the kids. I must admit that we recently just found HOD but from everything I can see, they are above the bar in respect to what is taught verses what is on the test. For us, as longs a ...

Running 3 guides but only using 2 sets of story time books

Currently I am running 2 guides. My oldest is in Preparing and my younger 2 are in Beyond. I am highly considering bumping my middle child to Bigger shortly after Christmas. I like the thought of everyone being separated and my middle child is definitely ready for the jump. But I am worried about ha...

Re: Is there anything wrong with setting an alarm for my kid

I agree with everyone - you gotta do what you gotta do and make it work for your family. I originally did wake my kids up for the first couple of years homeschooling. But we are now to a point where I need the schedule and so do they if there is any hope of getting finished in a timely fashion. Pray...
