Re: Who uses bigger for fifth grade?

This is my dilemma my soon to be 9yo does place in preparing! I'm only going with bigger because I worked so hard to collect it all for the 9&7yo only to discover it will be too much for him.

Re: Who uses bigger for fifth grade?

Your year sounds like it was very profitable. I will be adding in IEW writing for my 10yo. It was encouraging to hear about how you tweaked the program to fit your daughter. Thank you!

Anyone else use bigger for grade 5? I'd really love to hear your experience!

But I told her it has "extensions" which make it appropriate for up to fifth grade. What do you think? Is it truly appropriate for fifth grade? I...

Is bigger appropriate for this situation?

Originally was going to have the 10&12 yer olds work through RtR and my 7&9 year olds use bigger. but upon further consideration decided that RtR will be too much for the 10yo with attention issues.

Re: still confused on extension packs

I have been wondering the same thing. Perhaps you Do the extensions INSTEAD of the basic reader package? I sure hope someone can clarify!

RtR?

How many notebooks and binders for RtR? I'm planning a composition notebook as the common place book, a binder to hold the RtR notebook pages and any science experiments pages or notebook pages. Anything else that you can think of?

Re: Revival to Revolution

Oops! Sorry! I must have been tired last night when I posted! I thought you were looking for info about RtR. Your list seems right but I haven't studied or use that program yet! I hope someone will chime in with the right answer since I will need I know also after we finish RtR.

Re: Revival to Revolution

I believe the student notebook pages and the Philippians study book are consumables
perhaps someone else could confirm any others?
