Thanks for another great video Michelle! Wondering if you have plans for literature after you finish 3rd grade CK Listening and Learning? We've been using Lightning Literature grade 1 and 2 for just vocabulary and comprehension questions, but my students aren't very interested in the book selections, so I'm thinking of switching to CK. I don't like to curriculum hop and as a long term planner, not sure what to look at transitioning to after 3rd grade CK. My 8 yo girl also has ADHD, plus mild ASD, so stamina and focus can be an issue as well.
My plan is to try some units from Lit house learning. She won’t be ready for CK 4 next year and Lightning Lit isn’t a good fit for her. I feel like it will be a good introduction to writing as well.
When you get to AAR4, I’d love to know your thoughts around its usefulness for a fluent reader. I’m curious about the opportunity cost, and if the time spent makes sense. Thanks for continuing to make videos! Happy New Year!!
Thanks for video. I actually have the older first language lessons, and wanted to look into ckla. I have never used it. I’m curious why you choose to not use your ckla or is grammar not included? I have never purchased Michael Clay Thompson. I have an early 2nd grader and a 3rd grader l, and was wondering which you prefer for grammar, spelling, language arts. I am realizing I need to go over rules, because I skipped it since she was such an avid reader. But now am realizing we are lacking. I recently started IEW also. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. We do Dimensions, but she likes math mammoth as well ( so we have both). Do you like facts that stick? My 3rd is used to things coming easy, and today had a mini teary moment due to facts. Thanks
I will definitely update as we use it. I know with my oldest I wish I had done all 4 levels as she now has issues with spelling phonetically because she didn’t learn all the blends and phonetic rules.
@@kellynieves240 CKLA teaches grammar in the skills section. I only use the listening and learning strand as we already use All About Reading for reading instruction, so it is easier to just add in a separate grammar. I also really like how MCT approaches grammar concepts. I do have a video on what I’ve used for ELA for all my kids. It can vary depending on the kiddo. ELA | What I've Used Pre-K -6th Grade ua-cam.com/video/gHLBQhvg-Uk/v-deo.html My 8yr old is using multiplication facts that stick and is flying thru it. Math concepts come very easily for her. She did not however like the practice sheets. So I just switched out the practice sheets to a different layout.
What made you want to do multiplication facts that stick? Isn’t that covered in depth in dimensions?
It’s covered in dimensions, but multiplication facts have to be memorized. Multiplication facts that sticks helps with that.

How long do each of your kids spend on math per day? Thanks for this video!
It varies depending on the lesson.
My 11 and 8 yr old usually 35 mins - 45 mins. My 5yr old probably 15 mins.
@michellegf thank you! Very helpful!
