She has also done a little bit, but not a whole lot of Growing with Grammar..(I could do more with this for the remainder of the year if needed)...My second grade boy has had no grammar. Does it make more sense to do English level 2 with both of them together, and together from here on out? or should I put my younger in level 2, and my older in level 3? I've not used Rod and Staff yet, so need your thoughts here.

Put your younger child in level 2 and your daughter in 3

CURSIVE: what grade do we recommend starting cursive? I had always thought 3rd grade, and so was planning on giving my son another year to solidify his print. Does this sound fine?

Cursive is shcheduled in Bigger. Your plan is fine.

EXTENSION: There is a schedule for the extension books, correct? And about how much time is estimated for the child to read these selections?

Yes, there is a schedule in the back of the guide for the extension books. There is not an estimate for how long it will take to read the selections. And I honestly can't recall how long it takes my son. He does that reading along with a host of other items at the same time, so I'm uncertain about the amount of time involved in that particular activity.

Thanks ya'll! I love it when the decision is made!
