Looking for peers

Greetings everyone! We've been using Calvert for a little over a year, but hadn't tried the forums until now. We have a 6 year old son who is just about to start the third grade course with second grade math, and are hoping to find some peers for him to interact with, either electronically or...

Re: Starting 3rd Grade Mid-year

Hi, I am also just starting my 8 year old daughter with the third grade curriculum. Although she has had 1/2 of third grade at an international school in Ecuador, I have decided to start from the beginning, moving fast through the sections which are a review and taking the time my daughter needs on difficult...

Starting 3rd Grade Mid-year

Hello all, I am in NC and my 8 year old son is medically fragile. After much grief with the local school system, nursing issues etc. I have decided that it isn't worth the fight for the education that he receives. (I know this because my dd has already done it). My daughter is in private school and...

Re: 3rd Grade Questions

[quote user="momof3"] I use 1 binder ring to group together my flashcards for each subject. I make them for key terms in math, science, and georaphy. My daughter and I read the "pink book" together. It contains key points for history and mythology. For example: 1. The Golden Age ...

Re: 3rd Grade Questions

We work on each subject at its own pace (Science Lesson 18, History Lesson 26, Reading Lesson 12, for example). In 2nd grade, my son loved Geography and hated Social Studies. This year, he loves the Famous...

Re: Reading in 3rd (1st) grade

My son has reading difficulties. I do most of the reading, unless it is directed in the Lesson Manual for him to read to me. I always give him a choice if he'd like to read from the text, or read one paragraph and I read the next, etc. He is more willing to try reading a page if it is something interesting...

Any "extras" I might need for 3rd?

Hi everyone! My name is Crystal, and my daughter will be new to Calvert this fall. I just ordered her Third grade course this afternoon. I thought I would ask someone that has used the Third grade whether they thought there was anything special I should buy to go with it as far as school supplies. I...
