Hi All,
So here I am, the "other" Susan, also needing some brain power to help me figure out next year. Here's where we are:
- We are only 2/3 into MP1. We are now kind of on a fast track through the summer to finish up by late August, early Sept.
- My son (just turned 12) does ALL the R&S workbook and extra pages. It's all fairly easy for him EXCEPT the less/more worksheets. Those still require a lot of strategy and creative teaching. It's slowly getting better, but he's not at full mastery yet.
- Learning all math facts and concepts except the less/more has been relatively easy and he almost never makes a mistake with anything.
- Cursive has become quite easy. His cursive is really quite beautiful. I should post a picture. We are only T's. He does everything prescribed plus the cursive practice pages a lot. (I make lots of copies of all the letters so he continues to practice the letters he has already mastered.)
- The spelling/phonics lessons are quite easy. I knew spelling would be easy. He's never missed a word in this year's spelling, gotten it wrong or anything. He can do the Core Skills Phonics pages easily and independently.
So when I look at MP2 vs. SC3, I'm left wondering how to make this work. I'm so sad that I can't see more of SC3 than what's linked on MP's website. And I wanted to make a trip to HEAV and MP didn't ship the SC3 to last weekend's HEAV convention. I was planning to go for the sole purpose of pouring over SC3 and MP2. UGH!
AT this point, from what I can link to and preview online I'm leaning toward this:
- R&S 2 however(SC3 vs. MP2)
- MP2 phonics/spelling lessons
- SC3 simply writing, linked up to the SC3 enrichment?
- a mash up of SC3 and MP2 reading comp?
Help! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Warmly,
SusanP
p.s. Last year, I came to Sodalitas to evaluate and figure things out. It then took me the rest of the summer to get my ducks in a row, place an order and get my supplies by end of August. I don't feel I can do that again as it threw me off beginning to pour over things that late in the game. I need to be getting my ducks in a row now in spite of still having more to finish off in our current curriculum by summer's end.
