Calvert- 2 kids same time?

[kittie313]

Can I easily do Calvert pre-Kindergarten with a 4yo and 3yo together with one package? We need to prepare dd3 for the rigors of a full-day program in K, and we're testing dd4's abilities to see if she'll be ready to start K by the cutoff or if we need to hold her back (the cutoff is Sept. 30th and her birthday is Sept. 3rd, school starts in mid-August with our k12 school). I know that doing something formal with a 3yo and a 4yo isn't really too *popular* but its what dh wants, and since he's taking on the 2 big subjects with my oldest kids and at least 50% of the housework in the fall so that I can focus more on my own college work, I figure that I can at least honor his request to work more formally with the little ones so that they are ensured some time daily with their momma directly interacting with them.

Sure you can. Although, each package is designed for one child--would you be getting extra workbooks?

Anyway...their K4 and K5 programs are minimally formal. How formal it is depends totally on you. But I've had two go through those courses and each days lesson takes very little time, and there are plenty of hands on projects, and honestly most of the language arts can be done informally. IE: reading the book on the couch and asking comprehension questions as part of a conversation, etc.
