![]() ![]() ![]() My kids work well with workbooks, and the single pages that I would tear out of the Saxon pad of worksheets is fine, but I think I have (for us) a better way. After they complete the three rounds of quizzing, I go in the teacher side and make flashcards of the problems they missed and we practice those.įor next year, I had an epiphany! I (like my friend) do not care to drag out the big spiral bound teacher book every day, and I detest lesson planning (we can thank 20+ page lesson plans at Kent State!). Hint: If you change the program to “6s” it gives them six extra seconds to answer the problems. It is a free, no-frills way to drill the facts. She was interested, and she learned quickly what she wanted/needed to know.Īlso, I use for fact practice. (God bless kindergarten teachers!) A friend gave Princess a small pocket calendar, she LOVES it and carries it around all the time, asking me to mark birthdays, lesson days and CC days. I figure I can teach them how to use a calendar in a few days when they are a bit older, or we can do it every. I have a friend who never even opens the teacher book unless she comes across something on the worksheets she doesn’t understand. My kiddos had really mastered patterns from different shows on TV and iPad apps, and the constant repetition wore me out. I don’t use much of the “meeting” at all. Take what works for you, and do what your student needs to work on. DO NOT let the teacher’s manual be your Bible, it is not the be-all-end-all-must-do-every-little-thing-ruler-of-all-math-guide. Lego Man started working through Saxon 2 and is almost finished. Second year, Princess (her kinder year) she did half a lesson in Saxon 1 each time we sat down, about three times a week and completed the first workbook. Our first year, Lego Man worked his way through Saxon 1, we did lessons 4 days a week, he was done in early May. She worked through these a few pages a day, it was fun “school” time for her while Lego Man worked. For the rest of the year, I picked up some cheap workbooks at Target and the Dollar Store (similar to these on Amazon ). We skimmed through the book in about 2 months. This might not be the case with every student, but was with ours. I was overall disappointed, and felt like we were wasting our time (and money!). I bought Saxon K and the meeting book used online, and it was so simple, there really wasn’t much to it. Princess started CC right after she turned four (July birthday). (I will address the manipulative kit at the end of the post)įirst, I recommend, starting with Saxon 1. Go for the used versions of teacher’s manuals! Just make sure the seller has high feedback. ![]() Here are direct (affiliate- thanks for your support!) Amazon links for the homeschool materials for K-3. The workbooks I usually buy from ChristianBook or Rainbow Resources, they are also on Amazon. If not, I have bought them on Amazon or eBay. If you are in a CC Community, ask around. ***NOTE: Make sure you buy the homeschool version, which is not aligned with Common Core***įirst, if you can find the teacher’s guides used, that is wonderful. The format changes with the switch to 4th grade, once we get through that, I’m sure I’ll have something to say. We have used Saxon for two years now, and I feel like I have learned a few things worth passing on with regards to the K-3 materials.
