GHC Ohio: visiting MP booth for help?

[lilamom]

Awesome-- thanks, tanya!

[lilamom]

Thanks, ladies! I've been once before and am definitely planning on comfy shoes...and maybe even a rolling cart of some sort this time. Ha!

Hello!

[Disclaimer: I'm not sure if I am putting this in the right forum, so please let me know if there is a better spot for it!]

I've been using MP "pieces" for the past few years and am very seriously considering jumping into the full curriculum (or most of it!...

[lilamom]

Hello! I've looked through the Classical Composition samples for the first few levels, but I'm still unsure whether there are any essays/reports as part of the fifth grade plans. Perhaps there are some in the literature guides?

Thanks!

[lilamom]

Hi ladies! This was so kind of each of you. Thank you DiannaKennedy , momgineer, pickandgrin, and Abigail Johnson! (not sure why only the first name is tagging you all here =/).

I especially appreciate the links and the mentions of how CC fits into a larger, classical curriculum with Logic,...

[lilamom]

Hello! Could you point me toward any helpful resources on the rational behind the Classical Composition series?

I am currently using "Intro to Composition" with my bright fourth grader and am evaluating whether to continue with the CC series for fifth grade next year, and beyond....

[lilamom]

Hooray!!! I think we can blame Covid for anytime we want. Thanks so much for the reply and update, tanya!!...

[lilamom]

Is there any update you can share, tanya, on the availability of Traditional Spelling III for the 2021-22 school year?

Following along as I have a DD hopefully starting Core 4 for New Users. alpinegrace: are you in the mountain west? We're in Colorado here!

[lilamom]

Thank you for this! Amazon offers a preview and it does look handy. Do you think it would be "enough" to use this along with the standard Core 4 materials? I also thought of adding in some "Explode the Code" workbooks as DD loves workbooks. Maybe a good alternative?

Hello!

I'm evaluating whether to start DD in MP's New User Grade 4 Core. I am unsure what to do for phonemic awareness and spelling.

DD is a natural speller and a voracious (and fast) reader. Unfortunately, even though we started with Phonics, her reading skills progressed...

[lilamom]

Gotcha! this is very helpful. Thank you! ...

[lilamom]

Question! If I customize a Grade 4 package, will I need to edit the Curriculum Manual?

Specifically, I think DD would do best with Intro to Composition (rather than Classical Composition I) and Prima Latina (rather than Latina Christiana).

One of the appeals of Memoria for...

[lilamom]

Thanks, enbateau. I'm pretty picky about kids Bibles, too. Love that you just do your own Scripture reading separately. I think we could make that work!...

[lilamom]

Thank you again to each of you who responded! I'll try to respond directly below:

jen1134 : I am so glad you shared the exhortation to "do the next thing." It's a motto that has served me well in life, and it's so helpful to apply it to homeschooling curriculum, too! Also, I found...
