I needed your answer. I'm so bless...Hey, Sarah! I needed your answer. I'm so blessed with friends all over who come to my help!<br /><br />You know that we have friends whose children in MEP are, instead of in a lower year, in a higher one! And some times I get cold sweat about it... but I'm thinking that it will be much better to start 1a and have my lovely girl enjoy it, and most likely go to some degree faster, than to have her camped at her challenge level just because silly me thinks it's not that great to be a late first grader on the level one of a math program!<br /><br />Same with reading. After our critical moments, because I believe she needs some reading practice, she surprised me reading something she can comfortably read on her own. <br /><br />I just need my friends, as I tell you, to remind me we are not in the grade level Olympics, ha ha ha. <br /><br />It's nice to chat with you. Thanks once more.<br /><br />xxx,<br />sSilviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249978624747684879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349818069035818266.post-73636734025471068552012-02-04T09:11:38.830+11:002012-02-04T09:11:38.830+11:00Hi Silvia, thank you for coming by!

We are enjoying Mep maths, I like the fact that it gets challenging and then has easy stages where the children get a little break to go over what they have learnt. We only made the switch to MEP a couple of years ago and I started my son at a lower year so he didn't miss any of the concepts in the way MEP introduces them. He is just 11 and is nearly finished 3a, but he is enjoying the concepts and finding it is getting easy so therefore he is flying through it and enjoying it! Age & level really doesn't matter,and I am realizing that more and more. God Bless! xxxSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507551793424616654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349818069035818266.post-52077941646301542142012-02-04T03:13:15.609+11:002012-02-04T03:13:15.609+11:00Yes, it looks rich and lovely. Amen to that, each ...Yes, it looks rich and lovely. Amen to that, each family and children are different. <br /><br />How do your children do with MEP?<br /><br />I'm coming to terms with the idea that though my girl is 7, and in first grade, a mature first grader, it may not be that she finishes book 1b. Book 1b has been challenging. But I still love MEP, and if I do the activities at her pace, and some I can adapt them and do them orally, or with manipulatives.... on the other hand, book 2a starts again a bit easier, it is when they get into more depth with higher numbers that it gets more difficult.<br /><br />She gets lost with the tables with two numbers where she needs to find the third one, as in 2, 5, and a space, and it has to be 11, for example. The equations, you may say, but I am going to stick to mep.<br /><br />hugs,Silviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249978624747684879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349818069035818266.post-58630567653455107302012-02-01T22:15:25.217+11:002012-02-01T22:15:25.217+11:00Looks great and full!

About hymns I had the same thoughts as you but I'm thinking of introducing Rebekah to some of the older hymns that she would never otherwise know. I'm trying to work that into our schedule this year, we'll see how it goes....:)Joyfulmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888086629467112175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349818069035818266.post-86500808836054557952012-01-30T14:56:32.050+11:002012-01-30T14:56:32.050+11:00Wow Sarah, it looks great!
