Select the Start button, then select Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates. Sometimes an optional update, like a new non-critical driver, will be available that may help. Restart your PC and see if it seems to run better. Select the updates you want to install, then select Install. If the status says "Updates are available," once they are downloaded, select Install now. If the status says "You're up to date," continue and check for optional updates. Select the Start button, then select Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates. When you check for updates, your PC will also search for the latest device drivers, which can also help improve your PC’s performance. To the OP, there are lots of packaged curricula out there-none like MP.One of the best ways to get the most out of your PC is to make sure you have the latest version of Windows 11 installed. Once the child has "learned how to learn", MP becomes awesome. It is very hard to stick to a boxed curriculum lesson plan when the child is learning all of these skill-based subjects like basic reading and writing. I LOOOOOOVE Memoria Press, however, I think I like it more starting in 3rd or 4th grade. Definitely look at Kumon books for begin with pencil practice. You may want to consider choosing subjects separately to avoid that. ![]() Now that she can write much better the writing is too simple. The problem we have is that she wasn’t ready for all of the writing but loved the stories and the questions. ![]() K for my youngest and it has a lot of great parts you could consider. I like MP and use some of their stuff but it’s very hard to find an all in one that works. Get them and make them work together! Or whatever else catches your fancy - but definitely look through all the free stuff first! There's a great thread in General Education listing a TON. Maybe you like Memoria's enrichment packages.Horizon math.and Phonics Pathways. Think of it as sampling from the smorgasbord so you get a good feeling for what all is out there. Most come with a guide or lessons broken up into weeks. And you don't have to be scared about picking and choosing from different curriculum providers. So I guess what I'm saying is what you decide now.maybe you decide for the one year? Then you reassess, make knowing what your philosophical bent is helps you narrow down the options from the insanely many to just the few that might work. ![]() And 2nd has us continuing the same path but a little harder. By 1st we had settled down with a classical-Charlotte Mason hybrid, doing the 4 year history rotation, but simple handwriting exercises, good chapter books, and oral narration. ![]() When my son started wanting more, I looked first through the free curriculum lists to see if I could find what I wanted for Kindergarten: and I did :) I found MEP math and the 1st edition guides for Wee Folk Art (literature, art, crafts, etc). We're doing 2nd grade this year, but when I started thinking about school for my then-4yo, I knew I didn't want "school", kwim? I wanted more organic and gentle, so I gravitated that way. There are a lot of options, definitely! Taking the time to figure out what exactly you want helps you narrow it down. Not only do you get a wealth of options to look through, but around Sept/Oct people start posting what isn't quite working and why. Around this time everyone starts posting what they're using next year. :) Take some time, hang out on the pre-k/K board. My son is turning three this year, so we have a lot of time, but we are planning on moving next year, and I don't want to be figuring all this stuff out last minute! There is so much information, it can be overwhelming!
