Wow. It all sounds terrific.

Several of you mentioned doing a language. What are you using for teaching Spanish and French??

Hi Ladies,

Anyone have a child entering 4th grade this fall?

What package are you going to order?
What math?
Anything extra (just for fun) that you might add like languages, music, etc???

Blessings!

Hi EVERYONE!!

Anyone out there ever used Five in a Row? Can you compare HOD and FIAR?

Just curious, because I've used FIAR but never used HOD (although I'm hoping to this fall).

Thanks Ladies!

Great Thread!! I'm curious too. Yes, we are planning to use Preparing this fall. My son will turn 9 this April. Probably use Rod and Staff 4 (he's in R&S 3 right now :) . I'm not sure about the math. This year we did R&S math 3 and Math-U-See. I was hoping to get some guidance from Carrie on the mat...

How encouraging! Thanks.

I'm still asking questions and have not placed my first order to HOD....but I love the responses I'm getting. Once again, THANK YOU!!

Hi Everyone!


How can I improve my 3rd grader's spelling?

As a supplement:

Since you said that your dd has struggled with reading....I wanted to mention that Time4Learning has been a wonderful supplement in helping my dd to read.

WOW!!

Wonderful. Thank you all so much for helping me to see through my fog! I am so excited about this curriculum...and.... may I also compliment this discussion board....it really, really helps!!!

Thank you, Carrie!

I think the honey aids in water retention and it soothes the child. It is suppose to be very effective!!!

We love honey and buy it raw in our own town.

Also, I just wanted to add one more tid-bit... we use honey!!!

There is a lot of info on the web about honey curing bed-wetting!! You might want to check it out.

Wishing you dry sheets in the morning!!!!

Hello...and be encouraged....this too shall pass. I, personally, have never liked the pull-ups idea. I didn't use them for potty training during the day, because I think they are too confusing and just extend the duration of training. But, I realize that you need something at night. So, we would alw...

Hi to Everyone and Thank You!! That helps me. Also, I have a question for MY3Sons ....you mentioned that I should do preparing so I don't do a program twice in a row. I like that idea. Are there other reasons why you think Preparing is more appropriate for a 4th grader?? Thanks again...it's so helpf...

Hi Again, Thanks for the advice so far. Well, I've looked at the placement chart many, many times. You'd think I'd know what I'm doing by now!! Here's what I know: Daughter: I think my daughter fits nicely under Beyond Little Hearts on the placement chart...to start 1st grade Son: My son could go un...

Hi Everyone! I'd be so thankful for any advice on what I should order!! Everytime I think I've figured it out...I get confused again:shock: ! Their Ages: My son will be 9 when school starts again in August. (entering 4th) My daughter is 6, turning 7 in December of 2008. (entering 1st) Current Curric...

Thanks for your response. Newbie Alert!!! Please bare with me.....let me see if I've got this straight. If my daughter is reading simple stories and has been exposed to some phonics and sentence writing in kindergarten (Calvert)....then, for first grade, I would just do READING MADE EASY and that's ...
