22B, thank you for the reminder! I feel guilty if I skip part of a lesson, as though I am somehow cheating. I also have a hard time with determining "mastery". For me it means 100%. I think there was a thread on the subject of what is mastery?

As time permits, or if an optional activity is something I think DS would enjoy, we do optional activities. We like that many of the optional activities are hands-on versus writing, drawing or coloring...things my DS really struggles with completing.

I appreciate the reminder that if DS doesn't need to do all the activities to master the material, we really don't need to do them all. It is okay to skip. smile
