It's been over a month since our computer crashed but I haven't made any effort to purchase a new tower yet.
I do have a bunch of pictures to post but I guess not yet!!
We are still working on our relaxed home schooling this summer. MEP is going very well and will make a great supplement to our math curriculum. I am still continuing to consider what to do about our spine. I bought Math in Focus 1b to compare to Singapore 1b. MIF definitely instills the mental Singapore approach but it seems a little watered down. I do like how it flows better than SM (which I consider a bit choppy). I think Singapore Math is better suited for stronger math students over MIF but the MIF textbook gives you a bit more hand holding without the use of a Teacher's Manual - which I like. It has more explanations on the pages. I need the hand holding, not Squeak!! So I'm torn. It does seems easy to compact the material though. We'll see...........
Uggggg, I can relate to math dilemmas! I just changed the kids over to Math Mammoth from MUS. It's actually going well, but I've resolved not to change their K-6 math ever again! It's such a pain to switch over! GL getting your final pieces in place!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya. I wish I could just find a curriculum we love and STICK to it! We're trying out BJU press stuff right now but can easily see how this will not work next year as I add another learner to the school!
