I can't wait to play Yahtzee, Scrabble, and the like with ds either! I'm considering re-configuring Yahtzee for a little while so he would only do the top section (getting as many 1s, 2s, 3s, etc as possible) and then maybe a straight...

Thanks. I think I'm going to go ahead and take the plunge and get their Language Smarts level B and try it as a core curriculum for ds's 1st grade. Worse thing that happens is that it's not enough and we have to supplement or buy a...

Math U See teaches it as "two-ty is the 'real name' but twenty is like it's nick-name and that's what everyone calls it." We did all of the MUS Primer and are just starting on Alpha and honestly it hasn't been brought up all...

Yes I thought that maybe all next year we can do extra experiments solidifying what we learned. But that still only gets me through 1st grade! Ds's reading level is right at where he should be for kindy so I don't think he'll be ready...

I'm not too sure what to do here. We just started HSing ds in January. He's about to turn 6 next month and he's in kindy. We finished pre-chemistry about a week ago. He LOVED it and we buzzed right through it. He talks about atoms,...

I have to say I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned Math U See yet! I'm like you OP, I love love math! And ds and I are loving MUS. It is a mastery program instead of spiral so I'm not sure how you feel about that. Ds and I...

Just giving this one last bump!
