An essay writer may be a student who is writing the essay as a part of academic curricula or a professional essay writer writing on a topic for publishing.

My son is in grade 5, but is finishing Pre Algebra this year of TT. What level of Saxon would he be at??Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407194404691331670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-22119541513610816072014-08-12T22:16:10.805-07:002014-08-12T22:16:10.805-07:00Danielle~ I think the Island series (the first lev...Danielle~ I think the Island series (the first level) is designed for roughly 3rd grade, but I read it to my 2nd and 4th graders together. I found the actual writing assignments (not the writing instruction) to be too creative/open-ended for my boys, but I suppose it would depend on the student. I plan to use copy work and ease into IEW (PAL or the first level of IEW themed writing) for actual writing assignments before Essentials in 4th grade.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878817427434603915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-78005689976862679722014-08-10T11:21:20.926-07:002014-08-10T11:21:20.926-07:00Hi Heidi!

We are doing First Language lesson level 1 right now. We did it all last year (1st grade) and need to finish the level 1 book this year (2nd grade). When would be a good time to move from First Language Lessons into MCT? Also, would this be one's primary writing "textbook" for early elementary years?

I wish Levi had more time to work on Saxon 7/6 before transitioning into Saxon 8/7. We'll see if it's a tough year or if he can manage it. Math is definitely not his strength. The other boys shouldn't have any problems.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878817427434603915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-76698556124161926162014-08-05T04:46:31.361-07:002014-08-05T04:46:31.361-07:00Curious as to your transition into Saxon.

The 4th grader will be doing TT 6 this year if we continue it, but I am considering switching to Saxon. I was also considering waiting until middle school to make that switch.

I would consider tutoring Essentials in the future, mostly just to off-set the cost of having 4 kids in CC and tutoring a Challenge level may be further in the future (like several years from now). But I'd rather not tutor Foundations, and I would not be a F/E Director. But that's just my own preference. :)<br /><br />Christie~ I'm certain my Challenge A student will be doing extra reading this year--mostly because he's a voracious reader and I couldn't stop him if I wanted to. ;) Anything more than that I plan to play by ear. I'm not adding anything the first month so we can both get a feel for the Challenge work load. I'll keep everyone posted as we go through our year.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878817427434603915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-71430619295563057892014-08-04T11:44:19.763-07:002014-08-04T11:44:19.763-07:00I'm curious if your Challenge student will be ...I'm curious if your Challenge student will be doing extra literature or history at home.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946014050009367757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-76279217192843059512014-08-04T11:09:07.753-07:002014-08-04T11:09:07.753-07:00Faithful, longtime reader here.
