You ditched all the language arts workbooks for a whole school year?ĭon’t we need grammar books, spelling lists, and workbooks to do all these things?

Now, just to clarify, we have added back in our favorite grammar workbooks, Easy Grammar, to use once a week or so. The workbooks were nixed and replaced with our read alouds and Brave Writer Arrow and Boomerang guides. Thank you very much for sharing this with me.We did something crazy in our language arts a couple of years ago. I think the book list was good so I may use that, but I’m not sold on the curriculum based on what I’m reading here which has reinforced some of my own doubts about it.
It can’t be all one or the other, and honestly it’s not good pedagogy, either. But he could honestly probably care less about a Jane Austen party, I can read and have tea time with him anytime, and I think for us, more of a balance needs to be struck between flexibility and structure.

I do really appreciate that you shared this, and you’re right that the approach they took and the detail of their review was interesting and insightful as a teacher especially.
