Stuff and Stuff
So, I have made my decision about belonging to two groups. Since it's just really not possible I have opted to stay with the group here on base. I really loved the Eastover group - but I had to add 45 minutes to an hour to everything we did and I was just losing too much time out of the school day. So, there it is. Decision made. I have also decided to use Core 1 for the duration of 2nd and all of 3rd grade. This does require some stretching and adding on my part - but I worked out the numbers and I think I can make it work. If my math is faulty I will find out next year and then I can either slow it down some more or speed it back up. For math, reading, language arts/handwriting, grammar, and spelling we are staying right on track. Everyday for those subjects. Then we will alternate history, geography, read-alouds, and science on a 2 day/week or 3 day/week schedule. This will stretch out what I currently have to 62 weeks - which does leave me about 6 weeks short in third...
