  2. Tracey,
    I just discovered your blog and am so thankful I did! I have four children: Nick 9th grade (doing AHL), Abby 7th grade(ECC), Joey soon to be MFW K and our little one Kristen age 2. My Abby, uses Math U See. We used Saxon for a year, then I switched to Math U See. I switched both kids, sorry I did now. My oldest should've stayed with it, MUS didn't work for him. I thought about Teaching Textooks, I looked at it a few times, tried the placement exams too. In the end, we're sticking with Saxon for the oldest, MUS for our daughter Abby and for now I plan to go with Singapore for the two youngest, when appropriate. My oldest used the General Science in sixth grade, but we were not using MFW then, I learned about it February of his sixth grade year, but didn't end up using it until this year. I have no plans to use anything else now! We're not using Gen Sci for Abby.. she would not have done well. Instead we're using the science they have listed in ECC and then she's adding in extra reading and activities for the things like desserts, rivers, lakes etc. Then she's choosing one to two animals from each country and creating lapbooks/notebooking pages. She's loving science! I'm happy to see there are others using MFW and some other things we are. We are keeping up, for the most part, with the schedule, although we lost some time in January (family member sick and went home to Jesus). So.. just wanted to say thank you for you blog! We're in NY :) Jennifer
