Does your child have a solid, working knowledge of Greek Myths already? In terms of chronologically, I would suggest Greek Myths before FMOR. But yes, agree with you that if you could only choose one for Memoria Academy, I would pick FMOR over D'Aulaires'.

Thanks for the update, inquiring minds wanted to know! The CGs have the students write out the words four times in the practice book by squeezing in two words per column, twice in pencil and twice with colored pencils. We also started writing the words in cursive at some point in TSII. We try to mix...

That is exactly how we will be using it this summer once I get my copies as Sodalitas/Teacher Training, should they be printed and ready, for summer review. Yes, that is right, looks like you are going to be stuck with me for the whole week.

This was a missing component in our studies this...

The samples of the Introduction to English Grammar look amazing, thank you so much for the links igalloway. My oldest just finished Prima Latina this past week but I could see using this as a supplement and how helpful it would be....

I am stuck in your heads. It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George (my favorite) is stuck in people's heads. "Co-Stan-Za". This cannot end well. 🙃😅...

Yes ma'am, there is a need. And our spouses would probably be charter members. And our oldest has only just finished the Third Grade, so look out!...

Do not mind me, I am just over here reading and perusing through my minty fresh new issue of The Classical Teacher that I got in the mailbox. Yesterday, woo hoo! And making comments....

igalloway is in the house! I enjoyed your article, Ian, well done! Congratulations on joining the "Published...

Hi Lizzie. Can you list the science classes she has taken in 6th-8th? And also, what state are you in? And are there any state requirements for how many science credits are needed in high school? Here in Tennessee, we are required to have three credits of science in high school for reference.

Ask and ye shall receive, enbateau. Looking forward to seeing what this class will be, pschaeffer....

I may be the oddball of the group. Okay, I am the oddball. Our family loves the flashcards. My 3rd Grader loves the flashcards. All of them. Latin, Greek Myths, EGR, Christian Studies, States and Capitals and yes, even the Math operations. We use them in all subjects as they are listed in the guides...

Speaking of Dante, I saw last night that they finally released the Ciardi translation of "The Commedia" on Kindle thankfully. And it is only $2.99!! https://a.co/d/dLAbugY

I know, I know....I prefer hardcover/paperback too, but it is very nice to have on the Kindle as well.

Welcome, jamesb. Thanks for the tag, enbateau. I'm glad you have gotten such great input to your questions for your situation. Hopeful there will be more. I have a Third grader, a First grader and a Kindergartner. My oldest (9) is a voracious reader and is also finishing up the last few weeks of...

Hi MrsSmith and welcome to the forum. Thanks for the tag igalloway. I hope I can be of some help!

First off, I want to encourage you, MrsSmith. Teaching grammar is a noble task and starting (or restarting) grammar afresh may be even more noble. So, please be encouraged! And best wishes...

Love this thread. That is all!

My guess, and this is just a guess...

Rod & Staff intends for there to be a review of Book 1 for the first few weeks of Book 2 to refresh the students math muscles to get them back in gear before adding on new concepts. Since MP 1st Grade tackles Book 1 for 24 weeks and then jumps into...
