one other product i forgot to mention is a really great coloring book
the best part about this book is the facts about each painting
it's almost like a POI only your child gets to color it
my daughter loves it

START EXPLORING Masterpieces - A Fact-Filled Coloring Book
by Steven Zorn , Mary Martin

[2010BEBES]

Thanks a lot tatianna. Since my grandson goes to preschool and has two homes (mother and father's) we will have to squeeze some activities. But i found it very usefull.
I already found in Amazon the coloring book and even is in promotion of 4 for price of three. I think it is a must.

Please same as PY I am interest in diet tips (maybe another topic)

Karma to you, excellent job with your kids.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It always helps to know what a day might look like with an early-taught child.

1.    Animal foods: meat and organ meats, poultry, and eggs from pastured animals; fish and shellfish; whole raw cheese, milk and other dairy products from pastured animals; and broth made from animal bones. (When i can't find raw whole dairy we don't eat it)

2.    Grains, legumes and nuts: whole-grain baked goods, breakfast porridges, whole grain rice; beans  and lentils; peanuts, cashews and nuts, properly prepared to improve digestibility.

3.    Fruits and Vegetables: preferably fresh or frozen, preferably locally grown, either raw, cooked or in soups and stews, and also as lacto-fermented condiments.

4.    Fats and Oils: unrefined saturated and monounsaturated fats including butter, lard, tallow and other animal fats; palm oil and coconut oil; olive oil; cod liver oil for vitamins A and D.

Avoid: foods containing refined sweeteners such as candies, sodas, cookies, cakes etc.; white flour products such as pasta and white bread; processed foods; modern soy foods; polyunsaturated and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils and fried foods. MSG

muse did not learn to read with sight reading
we tried everything little reader, all the big red Doman words (hundreds of them), YBCR nothing worked
i had used Doman's method with many classrooms of children in Africa before i had kids (so i know it does work)
his books where my standard baby shower gift for years
yet with muse it just didn't work
(we will be starting it with her sister this month knock on wood)
after almost three years with little to no progress we started doing a little bit of phonics on the side
and muse finally began to read  
the only problem was most of the programs and books i looked at were really boring
and since muse is without a doubt a auditory and tactical learner this program seemed like the best fit
(on a side note auditory learners in general do better with a phonics program)

Tatiana, I think you may have hit on something very important here: auditory learners may find it easier to learn reading phonetically whereas visual learners may do better with sight reading first...

My boy learned the sound and proper name of his letters so quickly that it shocked me...we have been doing LR for a while, but when we showed him the Leap Frog video he got his alphabet sounds in a couple of days.  This reminded me that his hearing has always been very sharp too.

I wonder if his learning styles should dictate the teaching approach even more.

Thanks for the insight, and karma to you!

the auditory approach is certainly working for us
if you notice we play a lot of learning CDs and music during our day
it seems like everything my daughter responds well to includes music and movement to some degree   
even her book choices are not overly visual she prefers lots of text and poetry

i still try to include other methods and learn styles as well
to challenge her to learn in different ways and simply for brain development
but when we start a new subject or something that will be difficult for her     
i alway use her dominant learning style
this helps us avoid a lot of frustration and keeps her motivated

1.    Animal foods: meat and organ meats,

Thanks tatianna for the diet guides, it will be very useful.

[howardboys]

tatiana, do you know if there are big differences between the Math in Focus materials and the materials sold on the Singapore Math site?

http://www.singaporemath.com/Mathematics_s/1.htm

This is the first time I had seen another company and set of materials using Singapore Math methods.

TIA

well to start with Singapore math is not a brand or company name
it is simply the method used by the schools in Singapore and developed by the Minister of Education
the program sold on the singaporemath.com site (Primary Mathematics) is no longer being used in schools in Singapore
 
singapore no longer has one math program but four
New Syllabus Primary Mathematics
My Pals Are Here! Maths
Discover Maths
Shaping Maths
most of the schools use the advanced My Pals Are Here
Math in Focus is the USA version of My Pals Are Here

i used the kindergarten math program from singaporemath.com (EarlyBird)
and we liked it a lot
but starting at first grade with Primary Mathematics
the program had a lot less color and seemed a bit dry
so that's why we switched over to MIF
the books just seemed more interesting
which is super important when teach a really little kid

i also ordered  A Handbook for Mathematics Teachers in Primary Schools from amazon
but it's not in yet so i can't review

Marshall Cavendish Education is the company that makes MIF
i believe it is also the same company that made Primary Mathematics
so don't believe there is a huge difference between the two programs
i order MIF from www.greatsource.com
the student bundle cost me about $50
 

[tatianna]

by the way at www.greatsource.com
you can do a complete Virtual Sampling of all the Math in Focus books
i highly recommend it

How is your Latin schooling going.  I like the idea of learning Latin because it is the basis of all languages.  Are you happy with the system you are using and what age group is it geared for.  You are so organized!  Thanks Tracy

[tatianna]

hi Tracy
we like it so far
but we just started so i can't give a fair review yet
i will write up a review on this and a few other programs in a few weeks

tatianne,
What an interesting topic it had turn to be. Do you know why they stop using it and what is he difference on the other 4 programs?

[2010BEBES]

and we liked it a lot
but starting at first grade with Primary Mathematics
the program had a lot less color and seemed a bit dry
so that's why we switched over to MIF

Did you use the math readers from singaporemath.com or just the textbook or activity book?
I see both start with kindergarten. If he knows the numbers to 50 and shapes, would you go to 1rst grade or have to start with kindergarten books.
 If you say kinder, would you start with earlyBird or Kindergarten Math in Focus.?

tatianna,
Thank you sooo much for such detailed information!
I just imagine how busy you are with your daughters
But, please, when you will get a chance give us some more info about your math program.
So far I am doing LM with my daughter + counting, adding, subtracting toys, fingers, toes, etc.
To tell you the truth I have no idea where to go from here, rather then continue with  these activities
I've checked the website you've recommended for math program, but I am totally lost there. There are so many items listed: work books, manipulatives, etc
Would you tell us in more detail which exactly materials you've used with your daughter at what age and at what level of her understanding certain math concepts.
I am sure that kind of post will help lots of parents on this forum to figure out the math program for their child.
Thanks in advance,
Nadia.
