We did have a much better morning with math today for some reason though, but of course he then made up for it by stalling on copywork. It's always something!<br /><br />Joelle: we had previously tried Singapore, I used the Singapore Earlybird when we did preschool work, but he seems to feel like the Horizons is more "fun&bafleyannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02512006999519081304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452945397336620214.post-6422077927681901372009-08-30T15:44:45.888-04:002009-08-30T15:44:45.888-04:00Same story here.

I actually switched math curriculum from Horizon K to Singapore Math 1A this year, because he complained there was too much writting and was therefore taking FOREVER. It still takes him a long time, but he is happier with it. Hope you have a good 2nd week.Joellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116901746965807942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452945397336620214.post-64823358054303739612009-08-30T14:17:02.406-04:002009-08-30T14:17:02.406-04:00We started 3rd grade this year too!

I tried to read it with all the characters having the proper accents. Of course I butched that but my dd loved it.<br /><br />And be sure to check out videos of Capri and the Blue Grotto on you tube.

With my DD, I usually give her a time limit to finish the page, and if she doesn't we move on to the next thing. But if she doesn't finish school for the day, then she doesn't get to do what she wants with her free time.AF Wife99http://www.homeschoolblogger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452945397336620214.post-30081998058147682992009-08-29T09:31:34.634-04:002009-08-29T09:31:34.634-04:00I hear you on the taking forever to finish somethi...I hear you on the taking forever to finish something up lol. I've gone through that with my oldest, it can be very tiring.

When my oldest was in about 3rd grade, she did that "take hours to do a page of math" thing, too. I finally printed off a blank Bingo board and told her that for each day she got her math done before the timer went off, she'd get to put a sticker in one of the squares.
