Julie, At one time you had a block schedule posted with what each ds was to do and what/who you were working with and I was needing it as a reference again. Any chance it is still here somewhere? I found one that was on photo bucket but the image was removed and I can't find any others. If you can h...

Anyone have any ideas where to buy the art supplies that are listed? I have looked at millerpadsandpaper.com and cannot seem to find the brushes in the correct size?

Just to make sure I'm completely understanding . Don't hold off on the cursive and he will still continue to practice his penmanship with the other work. Correct?

Hi there! StephanieU made a good point - some dc really do take to cursive more than print, and that could be the case for your little guy. That being said, I have a quick question - you'd mentioned you have your ds write a lot, but he did Beyond half-speed, so my question is in regard to what he w...

Great! Thank you!!!

Will we need any supplies other than the typical things we have used in previous guides for CTC science - i.e. microscope or anything like that? We are trying to plan our budget and I didn't know if anything like that would be needed.

Thanks

We will be starting bigger with my ds8 this fall and I don't think he is ready for cursive - He is not a strong writer - and I have him write a lot. He still gets some of his letters backwards (not every time with the same letter) it is almost like he is in a hurry and doesn't think about it. I am r...

In the introduction pages that you can get online it has a small summary. Not real in-depth though with a list of topics. I don't know if that will help you or not.

Carrie, I have a lot of good suggestions, I think, looking at the projects that some others have done will be very helpful - I think that I have to see it; and the written directions with no pictures are a challenge for me :oops: I have already started looking at some and see that we were not as far...

Mainly the projects do not turn out the way we expect them - and I in no way expect perfection but when my dc says this is not working out right - and I think some of it is because so many have not turned out that he feels defeated and just expects them not to work - I keep thinking we will get it r...

Okay, I don't know what my problem is but it seems that 8 out of 10 of our projects completely flop...I have no idea what I am doing wrong. We are towards the end of Bigger, and in the middle of Beyond (2nd time in beyond) and still our projects flop...and the kids are getting disappointed and frust...

I am not sure I am okay with the four days a week in Beyond and Bigger with the memory verses - it seems it will be all messed up...maybe I am being to bound up??? lol I don't know

Well I am going to try a couple weeks at full speed... The problem is his handwriting and reading (well he is still doing phonics trying to get his confidence built up) math he loves and is doing super the other skills like narration will be a learning progress but he will get it and I don't think h...

Something like that. I was trying to figure out how to keep in in Beyond for two years but still have him progress with one year of math, phonics/reading, spelling, etc. If we did beyond regular as written, then go into bigger four days a week how long will that take to get thru it at only one day p...

okay here is my problem...Okay I have a ds6 who just started Beyond and he needs to be in it for two years and I am having a terrible time figuring out the best way to go half speed - the first year I want him to complete spelling list 1 and the math 1a and 1b - he is still working on phonics - he c...
