Teaching Time
I've posted a number of times for placement help and we have that now ironed out. My ds places in Preparing with R&S 4 and DITHOR 2/3. We haven't done literature analysis before. He will be in Singapore 4a as well. DD places in Beyond with Emerging Readers and Singapore 2a. I understand that Prepari...

Re: Placement ? and Running Back to Back guides
Thanks Julie so much for your help. I really appreciate it. I looked over the placement chart again and based off of what you said I do think he would place in Preparing. I like the idea of starting at half pace. My question is would that mean? For ex. Unit 1 day 1 he would do history, Bible, math a...

Re: Placement ? and Running Back to Back guides
From reading other posts about DITHOR it sounds like ds should do level 2/3 for this coming year and then bump up to level 4/5. I have some other questions though. 1. The book list does that include books for all the levels or is it unique to the individual levels? 2. In the upper level guides, the ...

Placement ? and Running Back to Back guides
Just when I thought I had figured out placement, my ds threw a wrench into it. I thought he placed in Preparing but my concern was with writing (he doesn't like to do it) and the independent work. He will look like he is doing it but he doesn't put forth the required effort. So after making my ds re...

Placement particularly for DITHOR
So my dd places in Beyond with ER and ds in Preparing. I'm planning on doing DITHOR with him. He will be 10 going into 4th grade. I'm thinking R&S 4, if we use Carrie's suggestions for LA, and DITHOR 4/5. Is this correct? Do we go by grade level for DITHOR placement? Can I use some of the books used...

Re: Science, Cursive and Placement ?s
I think I have placement down now. Beyond for dd with ER. I figure if we get stuck part way through the readers I can get others on that level for her. Then Read Alouds which would be the Deluxe Package? For ds, I think Preparing and if I need to cut out or slow down some of the writing we can do th...

Multiple Guides, Storytime and Other ?s
I have a few questions regarding using multiple guides at one time. 1) How do you handle it when 1 is in a 5 day a week guide and the other is in a 4 day a week guide? Doesn't seem fair to have younger do school on the 5th day if older isn't and it doesn't seem right to hold younger back either. 2) ...

Re: Science, Cursive and Placement ?s
While the beach sounds fantastic I'm in the middle of a desert. So the OSS Cactus Desert is pretty much our surrounding area. I will have to ponder the 5th day. I really like the idea of a 4 day week but I'm not thrilled with the idea of dd taking longer to complete a guide.

Re: Science, Cursive and Placement ?s
So it doesn't matter too much if my ds hasn't learned all of cursive. We are currently working through his cursive and I plan on continuing it over the summer. Another question I have is what do I do on the 5th day with him since he has a 4 day schedule and my dd would have a 5 day. I know she won't...

Science, Cursive and Placement ?s
I am thinking of trying HOD again. I used LHFHG and Bigger in the past but never completed the programs. I have a few questions. Can I use a different science? It seems that some LA skills are incorporated in the science curriculum and I wouldn't want to lose building those skills but I really want ...

Re: What do to...confession and novel!
Hey Ann I would definitely set a routine, I think that would help provide the structure she needs. If you think she needs to play first is it the run around active type play or sit and do board games type thing. If its active burn off energy type you could try starting with some basic calisthenics f...

I believe Carrie is out of town for the weekend. Hopefully she will see this Monday or someone else with the answer will chime in.
