I have ordere...Yes, I would like the link, thanks.<br /><br />I have ordered Switched on Schoolhouse for science, but it has not arrived yet, so I don't know. I am going to start with 3rd grade for both of them, but move Dandy through at a faster pace, as he reads as a 5th grader. <br /><br />I'll post on Switched On when we get started with it.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04606454923510883186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4376535774965734956.post-18664186102344090222010-12-13T10:00:47.661-08:002010-12-13T10:00:47.661-08:00Now that my news is out, I can comment!
THANKS, S...Now that my news is out, I can comment!<br /><br />THANKS, Suz!<br /><br />I don't know what we'll use. I sort of depends on where we land. While I'd like this to be our education for a loooooong time, I don't think that's an option. (note to self: consider lottery)So, it will depend on state standards for our science/ss curriculum. <br /><br />I'll use Saxxon math, because I love it.<br /><br />For language arts, I think we'll use a modified Open Court with, well, lots of reading and writing. I just want to fill her up with GOOD things. I feel like I have a big hole to fill and get frustrated when her teacher chooses to fill it up with literary junk food. She's seven and in first grade. She needs more nursery rhymes and classic fairy tales. She hasn't yet heard all the romantic ones as it's beyond her. She loves Frances and Ladybug Girl and Mother Goose. I feel like I have to choose carefully--and be willing and hopeful that the rest will come.<br /><br />Now, science. What is your third and fourth grade curriculum? Will he understand the fourth without the third? Are there skills and topics in the third that he needs now or will need soon? That should help your decision process.<br /><br />Forget where he "should" be. Teach where he IS. <br /><br />Interesting article on effort vs. intelligence. (Assigned by principal for tomorrow's meeting.)
