CTC's WWTB: Our first descriptive paragraphs
The kids wanted me to share their descriptive paragraphs that they just finished. John: A manatee is a giant, gray mammal. It paddles with its rounded flippers and uses its tail as a rudder. They seem to smile happily as they sleep. These aquatic mammals have long, pointy whiskers like a cat. A mana...

Singapore Math-3A?
We were to choose to do page 22 or 23 today and dd chose 22. Anyway, at the top where it has sections a,b, and c, the problem are written horizontally like 509+365 and 746+254. Are these meant to do in their head or is it okay to write them vertically and then solve?

Re: Little Review on how CTC is going for us...
This is wonderful to hear. I'm glad it is working out well for her. Currenly, my 11 year old 6th grade son is taking a "break" from Unit 1 Day 1 of CTC. He is bright and a joyful person, to boot; but he was in tears over the work. It is a big step for him to be so independent and to step away from ...

Re: Little Review on how CTC is going for us...
Edwena, Just getting ready to start CTC too and wondered what you meant by "Sarah's art tutorials" ? Is there a link somewhere for this? My dd not so artsy like my oldest who did CTC a couple years ago. She did great but my next DD may need a little assistance to develop some of those skills. thank...

Little Review on how CTC is going for us...
So we just started CTC last week and just wanted to give a review of it. I know we haven't been doing it long, but we've had some pleasant surprises and I wanted to share. First is my dd is just 9 (turned 9 at the beginning of July, so a young 9) and has used HOD from Beyond on. I have heard repeate...

Re: Would switching math programs set us back?
We've done some switching around of Math Programs the past few years... yes, it does usually put you "behind". I've only found it to be worth it if continuing with the same program is going to put us *more* behind (ie the kids just aren't getting it and we're rehashing the same thing over and over ...

A Few Questions about CTC before beginning....
As I was looking through the manual today I noticed I had a few questions: 1. Reading About History Day 1, the child is suppose to answer at least 1 question in the box. It is an independent box. Am I suppose to go over this in a follow-up sessions with my dc? It doesn't seem quite right not doing s...

Re: Kindergarten Math...Singapore vs Math U See
I have used both and really like both of them. I have used MUS from Primer through Epsilon (and will be doing Zeta next year)and Singapore 1B-2B, so not nearly as long. To be honest, the Singapore way does not naturally come to me, but I have it down now. For me, none of the tips or tricks taught by...

Re: Results for Stanford Achievement Test
We just got our Iowa test scores back today and I too am very pleased with the results. My dd overall composite percentile was 95 and my ds was 93. So it means they did better than 95% and 93% of everyone who took the test. YEAH HOD!!!! My dd struggles in Math and after switching to a combo of Singa...
