You definitely would not need it. I would only consider it if ETC made more sense to your child/you were using get ready for the code. My student (average) was not able to maintain the pace of FSR at the beginning of K, so we had to slow it down & supplement. I think it’s really going to depend on what your particular student is ready for. FSR is definitely very robust if you get all the pieces. I hope that makes sense!
@@ddchomeschool It does, thank you! I would love to see a video on how you mesh all the different curriculum you use for one of your students. You have a very diverse course created for them, I would love to see how to pick and choose and plan it out.
I was thinking about sharing all of the worksheets my 1st grader did this year, since I have them in a big binder. Do you think showing them and talking about them would be helpful? I would mention which books we read before and why this topic etc. 🤔 that might be a convenient way to do it!
@@ddchomeschool yes! I think anything you share is great! I just wonder how you choose between MP, CMEC, AO, & Waldorf when planning out a year for one of your kids.
That’s kinda harder to explain! 😂 it’s basically which books look interesting & do I think my kids will like, or what have they not covered yet. I’ll think about this some more and see what I can come up with!
Does MP have anything that would be considered work samples for a charter? I'm really wanting to try MP for my kinder but my charter requires work samples for science and social studies in kinder 😩
It does not. However, I would either have her draw and write something about the book we had read or I’d print a worksheet from education.com on the same or a similar topic. Plan B would be to do studies weeklies for the samples & spend the rest of your time on MP. I’ve also ordered the little social studies and science workbooks for K to use for samples.
@@ddchomeschool Thank you! We did the "180 days of" books for work samples for TK, so maybe I could just do that again. I was planning to do MBtP 5-7, but after looking at the samples, I think it is too advanced for K even if our IST says it is fine 😩
Yep! Those are the ones we had! LOL. Definitely look at MBTP 4-5 for math- remember MBTP started out as a curriculum for gifted students so the content is advanced/more challenging than typical.
Would you add Explode the Code if you were only using Memoria Press Kindergarten? On top of their Right Start Reading program?
