D'Aulaires' Greek Myths & Book of Norse Myths......struggling, kids NOT liking it!!

[KDOCK5]

Please tell me why I need to push to do these......or do I? My kids are really not enjoying these at all, I see their eyes glaze over when I start reading & it seems the only way they retain anything is if I push for them to do their flashcards! And (I know, some of you will think I'm crazy),...

Re: Rod and Staff Spelling & English

Thanks guys. I am going to take my 3rd grader down a level SWO C. I didn't realize MP had SWO grade ahead, thank you for bringing that to my attention KF2000! When I googled more about SWO, I found that they say SWO D (which my 3rd grader...

Re: R&S Math 3 Multiplication Charts (sea creatures)

Thanks for the info. I think you’re exactly right.....the important thing is that they learn the facts, by whatever means works for your kid. I have to keep reminding myself that these textbooks are written to be used in a...

This is my first time using Rod & Staff Arithmetic. (I've always loved the simplicity of it, but used Teaching Textbooks with my kids before switching to MP full grade packages). I love love it! I have a couple of questions:

1- Rod & Staff Spelling.......have any of you used...

Re: R&S Math 3 Multiplication Charts (sea creatures)

Following this! I'm with you! I purchased the blossom charts from MP & they have been very helpful.....but, I'm wondering the same on the multiplication chart. Did you ladies use this? Or just a regular multiplication...

This is our first year with MP, we are finally starting to get in a groove (although only on Week 8). We are loving loving Latin (even my 6 yo Kindergartener & my 3 yo chime in when we conjugate or decline....which is so awesome to see). I'm loving Rod & Staff Math. My girls aren't loving...

I just need to vent a bit......we are only on the second week, so I keep telling myself this will all get better, but I am finding it hard to find much of a rhythm with 3 cores of MP. I know my problems are pretty small compared to those of you with many many more cores than I am doing. I guess I...

Re: Rod & Staff Arithmetic 3 charts?

I made triplet cards & ended up ordering the blossom charts. I think they blossom charts may come in handy. My 3rd grader used Teaching Textbooks 4 last year & although she did ok with it, I just don't feel like she has her all of...

Re: Rod & Staff Arithmetic 3 charts?

Ok, thanks! I will check out the pdf's on the special needs board, but it sounds like all we may need is the triplet cards. Thanks guys!

[KDOCK5]

This will be my first year using Rod & Staff......I will be using 3 & 5. After reading through 3, I was just wondering.....do you all make the blossom charts, triplet cards, terms posters, & multiplication charts (with sea creatures)? Are these all necessary teaching tools for grade 3?...

Re: 5th grade review box?

Speaking of review boxes.....I literally just placed our order for MP & am new to this. I was just looking at the download for 3rd grade review box. Is this something you make at the beginning of the school year & use throughout? Tell me about these!...

Re: Question about read a louds & checking your kids work.......

Enigma.....I did the same thing last year with my oldest....I ended up assigned the read a louds to her. I am contemplating just checking the read a louds out from the library this year. I'm having a hard time picking...
