remember in the last post.... i mentioned that math was giving us trouble? the program... is wonderful.... however, it was becoming too challenging for our homeschool. and, i didn't want to spend our days fighting our way through math. just for the record... i took the curriculum to a family gathering during christmas, showed three family members who recently graduated from college... and all were surprised and stunned at what was required for the sixth grade level. all mentioned the lessons he was challenged with were what they learned in high school. if you know me... i'm not in a rush. nor do i drive competition into my son... i'd rather he be secure at his level... then a stressed out, math-hating, little guy.

that said.... look what i found on-line!

it's been a blessing. tommie has had a ball doing math on the computer! it's free, too.

all grade levels... even up to 8th. and many subjects. there's even a printable overview of what percent (grade) and time frame.

i no longer hear... "i hate math" or "i can't do this!".... i am hearing testostorone filled "yeah's, i did it!" and other sounds of hooting and hollering!

happy me... it is tommie's idea to do vocabulary and spelling on-line.... same good site.

click here! we both love it!
