Re: 4th Grade Girl using 3rd Moderated in Cottage School - Apparent Dysgraphia

Thanks, Tanya. That is a good idea. I will have her keep plugging away in her subjects, and reduce her spelling words to five.

I teach a third/ fourth grade split class at a two day cottage school. Our class is working on the third grade moderated core curriculum (with grade level math and spelling substitutions). A fourth grade girl in my class is doing well in most of her subjects (Latin, Math, Literature). I am concerned...

Re: Geometry?

I am planning to transition my daughter from the eighth grade accelerated core to all online classes next year. She has done very well with Algebra I. My instinct was to register her for Algebra II. Thabks for the feedback.

Re: r&s math 7 or redwoods pre algebra

My daughter did R&S 7 (in 7th grade) instead of COTR Pre Algebra. She has done wonderfully with the Prentice-Hall Algebra I from the accelerated eighth grade core. I am happy with my choice. For my other children who will have gone...

Re: Geometry?

What is the advantage of Algebra I followed by Algebra II rather than the traditional sequence with Geometry between the two courses? My ninth grader will take either Algebra II or Geometry online in the fall and I would love input on making that decision. She has done...

It is good to hear that things have...

I was not at the retreat, but have really enjoyed reading and learning from this thread.

We started school on September 4th, and so we are in the middle of week 5. I am pretty sure that I am squarely ON THE HUMP right...

Re: Reflections on K/ - comments/questions about FSR at HLS

I just wanted to chime in and say that I used FSR with my now 2nd grader when he was in Kinder and about 5.5. He had not had any previous reading instruction and knew very few letters and sounds. The program was a staggering...

Re: MP user response to this podcast?

This is a very important discussion. I have not listened to the podcast, but am all too familiar with the fashionable idea of child-directed learning.
