Re: Health update/prayer request NEW UPDATE

Goodness! That's a lot to pray for! I'll be praying for peace of spirit and mind and much wisdom as you seek to meet your needs and the needs of your kids. I'm humbled by your post as it has put my complaining spirit in its place! Don't think of it as complaining. When we struggle, we allllll need ...

Re: Health update/prayer request NEW UPDATE

Hi all :D I'm just reviving an older post, asking for prayer for myself and all our HOD families struggling with health issues. As I read through these, I see so many possible areas for investigation, and have seen doctors for years trying to explore my options. I finally found a great doctor who d...

Spanish

I really like the beginning Spanish planned in the geography guide. I'm curious what is added to it to make it a half credit? I read the site and the author there states it's equal to 1/3 credit. I'm assuming that's without the audio and such, and just the book only? Trying to decide what to do abou...

Re: Singapore 3A help please

I have kept the text open and let him use that visual, but he can't even fully "teach" it to me with an already worked problem in the book. He still gets confused about the flow of the numbers, which ones to work with, where to put them.... I tried just writing out the symbols " / x - " to help him ...

Singapore 3A help please

My 9yo (almost 10) 4th grader is doing Singapore 3A (life happened and we are behind!). He's a very mathy child and unit 4 when they start multiplying where carrying is involved, he is still doing it mentally. I don't mind, and I am thrilled he is capable. BUT, even though I told him I wanted him to...

Re: How much daily teaching time is required for each level?

I found it taking me about 2hrs with rev2rev with a child that needs me more than most kids do at that level. Bigger is usually the most teacher intensive Bc they aren't doing anything totally themselves yet usually. Preparing lets off a little and it drops from there. I've been teaching four guides...

Proud of creative writing this week :)

My girl turns 12 this weekend and is in unit 7 of rev2rev. She has struggled with writing each unit even though she is an excellent writer. She kinda picks the same topic all the time....she is obsessed with kittens and dogs and animals in general. So I finally wised up. I banned those topics. She w...

Re: Missions to Modern Marvels Extension Readings

We aren't to mtmm yet, just rev2rev so far. But we've been doing hod since 2008. What I've seen in each level this far is pointing to our Hope, and Christ, and a turn around of the poor character as an opportunity to highlight the proper character and virtue (so basically, like a what would you do i...

Re: Should we switch from Singapore?

I was reading on the Singapore site not too long ago and read about their grading system. They expect a much smaller percentage of correct problems in order to earn an A (or lower passing grade). As in, I think 70% (or perhaps a little lower) was an A. This is due to the very challenging level of Si...
