Moms222 I have used oak meadow loosely, off and on for several years. I found that if you have a precocious child it's best to use their curriculum one year ahead. B/c my dd was already reading in "K", I began with OM 2nd...

We use SOW by listening to it on CD in the car. It is great when we have long car rides going from one activity to another. I used volume I when my dd was 6 and my ds was 3. My dd liked doing the coloring pages and some of the crafts...

I went through the same questions when deciding about swim lessons. Some days my dd would say she would want them and other days she had no desire. I didn't want to push. Oddly enough, last year we moved into a complex with a pool. ...

We are using the OM Second Grade curriculum with my Kindergartner/First Grader. She loves it and we have been pretty happy. We do supplement with Miquon Math, which she really enjoys. We went very gradually into using it and are still...
