   <description><![CDATA[I don't know if anyone will find this useful, but in&nbsp;&nbsp;Week 5, World History, the Teaching Guide lists a website with directions for building a model longship using card stock. There is a typo in the URL, and the correct site is: <a href="http://www.ncte.ie/viking/model.htm">http://www.ncte.ie/viking/model.htm</a><br /><br /><img src="/blahdocs/Smilies/smiley.png" style="vertical-align: middle" alt="" /><br />Melissa]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[I just ordered the First Grade set for my son.&nbsp;&nbsp;(SO excited!)&nbsp;&nbsp;I was looking through the teaching methods tonight and saw that it is recommended to combine children that are close in age into one set.&nbsp;&nbsp;I love this idea since my children are all 2 years apart (6, 4, 2 and one due on Sunday).&nbsp;&nbsp;Next year my son would be using the Second Grade curriculum, while my daughter would be ready for Foundation Year.&nbsp;&nbsp;My feeling is that it's probably important for my daughter to do the Foundation Year before I combine her with her brother.&nbsp;&nbsp;Am I right in this thinking?&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />I don't want to get too far ahead of myself, but I'm just trying to wrap my head around how this would work.&nbsp;&nbsp;If the above is correct, I would be combining them in the Third Grade set for my son's 3rd grade year and my daughter's 1st grade year.&nbsp;&nbsp;At what point, then, would my daughter go back to pick up Grades One and Two?&nbsp;&nbsp;Further, could my younger daughter also join them at some point, or would she be too far behind her brother for that?<br /><br />I guess another good question, while I'm at it, would be: At what level are students expected to be doing most of their work independently?]]></description>

   <title>Question about 1st grade</title>

   <description><![CDATA[I just posted in the Introductions section earlier today, and now I have a question.&nbsp;&nbsp;My stomach is in knots because my husband and I just spent a few hundred dollars purchasing another curriculum for our 6 and 4 year olds, and after looking into Living Books more I'm having buyer's remorse.&nbsp;&nbsp;I really think my son would find this curriculum more fun and interesting.&nbsp;&nbsp;At first I thought we'd just get through this year and order this curriculum next year for 2nd grade, but when I compared the book list with what our local library carries, I see that I can get a lot of the books that way.&nbsp;&nbsp;So now I'm seriously considering selling what we just started and purchasing LBC instead.<br /><br />My question is, can anyone tell me which books in the 1st grade list are used for extended periods and which are used only briefly?&nbsp;&nbsp;]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[I will be teaching the following this year:<br /><br />5th grade girl - excellent reader, needs work on writing skills.<br /><br />3rd grade boy - struggling reader, but picking up steam<br /><br />6yo boy - if in PS would be in 1st, but I would like to keep him at K, I think so he graduates later.&nbsp;&nbsp;Typical Wiggly Willie to the extreme.&nbsp;&nbsp;My main goals for him this year are teaching him to read and math, but hate for him to miss out on other stuff, too.<br /><br />Toddler and Baby are around to keep me even busier!!<br /><br />Thanks for your help in deciding what would be best.<br /><br />Jesse ]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[I would like to get some insight on the Spelling Program that Living Books implements. When and how&nbsp;&nbsp;will spelling be implemented? My daughter is advanced with her reading.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are currently starting First Grade. I am not sure whether to add this year or wait. I would also like to know the format that is used to teach spelling and what grade it begins. Thank you for any input.&nbsp;&nbsp;]]></description>
