why have stories without pictures?

My son is using the Kindergarten curriculum. Yesterday, I noticed that the story that we were to read in the Poems and Prose book was almost the same as a book that we already own, "Caps for Sale." I used the storybook with pictures rather than read him the story out of the prose section. I...

Lesson 20 envelope too small

Hi, My son just finished lesson 20 of the kindergarten curriculum, and I'm trying to shove all those papers and forms in the envelope provided. Do I have to use that particular envelope? Also, do you send more envelopes for the next groups of papers that I need to send in? Thanks for your help.

time schedule

I am teaching kindergarten to my son, and have noticed that the suggested schedule is for most of the morning. I feel like we spend ample time on each thing, and am not skipping anything, but we are done in 2 hours, including recess. Is this normal to be done that fast?

Re: Saxon K math

I figure it won't take us the entire year to finish the Saxon K program, if we are still doing it in July and August I will put a label over two months that we won't be using. We do school four days a week and use Saxon everyday instead of a few times a week like they recommend. Also, my son...

Kindergarden Math

I have noticed in other posts that some people add Saxon or Horizon math to the Calvert K program. I was wondering would they go with the K math or grade 1. Is one program better than the other. I love the Calvert program I just find in the math my daughter is moving very quickly and finds it easy. I...
