Amy Re: Handwriting without Tears...

[Guest guest]

have you looked at writing without tears?  I have had friends that used

it and loved it!  What state are  you in?

Amy 

Hi Amy.

I cannot remember if I wrote back regarding this suggestion.  YES.  I used HWT

with all of my children.  It is what I suggested they use with Alden at this

school.  They said that they would, but it doesn't matter now because I pulled

him.  We are in Texas, on the border in El Paso.  From what I can gather, it is

a world of difference here... even from Austin.  I have friends in the San

area and also near Dallas/Houston areas plus a home school friend in

Katy.  Those areas cannot be compared to El Paso as here, it is VERY different.

I use the Writing Road to Reading and HWT.  I have lots of stuff here, so I

don't really have to purchase anything right now.  If I continue to keep him

home, I might try Math U See with him at some point, but right now I just use

what I have.  Lots of manipulative objects, counting, skip counting, etc. 

Adding/subtracting.  I also have Ray's arithmetic which I still use to check the

girls ability, even though they are in public school.

I pretty much have taught at home with the Well Trained Mind concepts.  We still

like to review History in this way.  I am sure that my girls have a better grasp

of History since we home schooled through all 4 books. They are wonderful, even

if your children are in PS/private.

I have sort of given Alden a break and we are taking it slowly this first week

or so. As I dig stuff out, reorganize, etc., I will get him into a routine.

Thanks!  Kiersten

At school Jasmine is working on learning how to count by 5's and 10's, etc.

so she can count money.

Does anyone have a good method to teach this?

I have done a lot of teaching her at home, even though she is in public

school. Mostly reading. I don't mind doing the work at home if it helps

her to be able to count her money.

Also, is HWT for cursive writing, or printing?
