I recently found the schedule cards, and I agree they are so helpful! As you were talking about gluing the cards and it not working for you, I thought, what if you laminated the cards first and then used magnetic strips on the back and hung them on a magnetic board. Then you can easily rearrange them and still have it up to see.

What do exams look like?? Do you do any type of holiday units such as Easter/Christmas? Also, what ages do you have going into 24-25 school year?

Great questions! I have a blog post about how we do exams in our homeschool: www.abeautifullywreckedlife.com/exam-week-how-we-do-exams-in-our-charlotte-mason-homeschool/. It's from a few years ago, but that's still basically how we do them. We don't typically do any kind of Easter or Christmas units for our morning lessons, but I usually add special extras for both Advent and Lent. We do some of them in the afternoons (like baking cookies or making crafts) and some of them as a family in the evenings (like our Advent calendar, etc.). For the 24-25 school year, I'll have a 4th grader, 2nd grader, and very informal preschooler. :)

Thank you for this review - I purchased the CM Elem Arithmetic Book 1 (for my first grader and book 3 for my 3rd grader). This is my first Simply CM Homeschool year. LY was my very first homeschool year. I have jumped right in (will start our school year in the middle of August). So question for you - should I start my 3rd grader in book 3, or should I go ahead and start with the foundational Book 1 with my daughter. He will probably advance quite quickly, so I would think we could do more than one lesson in a 20 minute time period. Thoughts on what you would do or would suggest? - My son has used Saxon Math and ACE Math and then we have started grade 3 Good & Beautiful during the summer to keep up with Math so he doesn't "fall" behind. Thank you! Debbi

@abeautifullywreckedlife
@abeautifullywreckedlife Жыл бұрын
That's a great question! Elementary Arithmetic follows a very different scope and sequence from more traditional math programs, so things like calendar, telling time, geometry, etc. aren't covered in the first couple of years (I simply added those in on my own). However, it does develop a very solid number sense and really gets students comfortable with mental math and problem solving. Everyone will feel differently about what they want a math program to cover, so I think it's important to identify your goals for your homeschool and keep that in mind when selecting a program. I'm happy to answer any other questions you have about our experience with it!

I agree! I love having this book on my shelf. I found it amazing to see my kids grasping all sorts of math concepts without realizing that they were learning "advanced" concepts. Like practising multiplication and division without really saying "Now we are going to learn multiplication and division!" Instead, they skip counted or told me how many 3's are in 24 using buttons. And they aren't afraid of story problems because we've always done them. Win! And I love that we can use the notebook if we are feeling like it, or I can skip it if I see my kids fading.
