We used both SCM Arithmetic book 1 and RightStart A side by side and while the two programs are very different, I did appreciate being able to change things up. (We didn’t do much of the “1 ten 2” type of counting that RightStart teaches bc it was too different from SCM) SCM Arithmetic felt really useful in all of the addition it taught and we ended up using the RightStart abicus with the SCM arithmetic. The arithmetic felt more challenging which I appreciated and the RightStart had all the fun games, so it worked pretty well. We did end up getting tired of the monotony with SCM Arithmetic and put it down about 3/4 thru. But overall, I’m really happy with the addition facts she learned. I hope you decide on something that feels right!

My 1st grader also loved the Pathway readers and said they were her favorite thing out of everything we did this year.

We love the pathway readers!

I'm almost done with my first year with the CMEC, 2 weeks to go!! Thanks for your video, I also left a few books out but for me it was natural history. I'll definitely plan for more nature walks this coming year and maybe get some butterflies and ants, haha.

❤ loved all of this!
