Classical Composition and R & S Spelling

[Jenchick1@aol.com]

Hi Tanya,
I have a couple of questions for you.
1) I noticed in a previous thread that you mentioned a DVD set coming out for Classical Composition this summer. Can you tell me for which stage (fable, narrative, Chreia-Maxim.) you hope to have completed by the end of this summer?

2) Also, I wanted to understand a bit more as to why MP has chosen to introduce Rod and Staff Spelling - 4th grade in the 3rd grade and goes up a grade in all subsequent years following.

Thank you for your time!

Jennifer

Hi, Jennifer.

It is the Fable Stage we will start with. I'm not sure how much time these will take, so we may only get one stage done this summer, but we'll shoot for more!

We felt like the spelling words in R&S were too easy for our students at grade level, so we upped it a grade, and it worked out fine. We've been doing that for at least 5 years now.

Regards,

Tanya
