With HOD, you can use whatever math program you want. Carrie recommends Singapore, but you don't have to use Singapoe to use HOD. :) If your friend is wanting to switch to Singapore, there is a free placement test available on the Singapoe math website (www.singaporemath.com). I highly recommend tak...

Yes, everything the pp said.

I agree, I think it would be fine. We finished this book as a read-aloud not too long ago and I don't remember anything objectionable at all. My ds and I really enjoyed it!

I think it's totally fine as long as your older is on level with the 3R's, which it sounds like she is. So no worries! Really!!

That experiment didn't really work out for us either, but I think the pp is right..... you need something with more fat.

I don't see why you can't just bump him up to English 4. You can always slow it down when you need to spend more time reviewing concepts, but it sounds like you all would be happier just to have him move up a level.

We're doing 3A and 3B this year and right now we're at the tail end of 3A. I didn't buy the HIG's and honestly I wish I had. There have been several lessons, especially the ones with long division, where I really needed some extra help. I decided to buy the HIG for 3B just to have on hand when I get...

I do remember Carrie saying something about offering an optional Latin study in one of the upper guides.... let me see if I can find that thread....

I would think you can do the genres in any order, but you would need to make sure you're using the Storytime box for the genre you're using. Does that make sense?

We do our storytime during our normal school time. My boys love storytime, it's their favorite part of school!

Thanks for the links!

I wonder what Carrie is planning for literature and composition in high school...... Questions, questions.

Thank you! It's reassuring to know that the LA is very thorough. I always felt like my LA in public school was weak and I just want to make sure my kids have a different experience. :) So, since Carrie won't be using books 9 and 10 in high school, then I can assume she will be using another writing ...

Hi,

Does anyone know what Carrie has planned as far as using Rod & Staff English in high school? Does she plan to use levels 9 and 10?

Thanks!

Exciting, isn't it? We thoroughly enjoyed LHTH a couple of years ago, I pray you will too!

Just wanted to quickly add that I found the TOC for CTC! It's under the 'A Week At a Glance' link for CTC. Hope this helps!
