I was hoping to avoid having to write a huge post for placement help but I can't, I seem to be going around in circles too much. So I am very sorry this is going to be long!!!
Firstly, My son just turned 8 this month and is about to finish 3rd grade at our local school. He is very young for his grade but is one of the best students in his class according to his teacher. I thought I would place him in MP 3rd grade curriculum after reading a lot of information here. I wanted to buy the whole package but realized that there are too many changes to be made. Since we aren't from the US I wanted to replace the states and capitals set with something maybe Geography 1. I will also be substituting R&S Math and Spelling and Christian Studies. So as you can see the package has now completely changed.
Secondly, my daughter is 10 and has just finished 6th grade with a supposedly rigorous college prep online school. (She finished the whole years work with excellent grades in 6 months so maybe not so rigorous). She has also done Powerspeaks middle school Latin 1. However I am not convinced that she has grasped the Latin as well as she needs to continue successfully. So where do I place her for Latin now? I am actually thinking still First Form Latin to give her a chance of memorizing everything however will this just be boring for her and would second form be better, arghhhhh, I wish this was easier.
She is young so I thought I would start her in MP 6th grade - using literature, FMoG, classical comp fable, Greek alphabet. I would remove the American History Set and could she do Geography 1 as well? I would substitute R&S Math and spelling, what is the role of R&S English in this package? She could do Astronomy as well with my son. (I am yet to figure out whether the trees set is only for the USA)
Does this even sound slightly coherent? Can anybody make this into an amazing MP curriculum set? Arghhhhh, I wish my family and children would fit into the grade packages as is. Thank you for reading and for any help anyone can offer me!
Regards
Hayley
