Elisa - I'm going to check out those resources. Thanks!
Cat - we decided not to ask for anything other than math and reading the first year too. Well, actually we asked and we had decided ahead of time that wouldn't be a deal breaker. After all, we didn't have any documentation on science at that point. And in our area once you get an IEP half the battle is over. So this year we have the documentation on science so are trying it.
FYI- Brainpop.com is a web based site with videos and lessons that are designed to supplement the classroom instruction. It correlates to national science standards. DS7 "plays" Brain Pop once a week. He loves it.
Brainpopjr.com has fun little videos for K-3 that go over a simple concepts and then give a 4 question quiz. I can't remember the cost. Maybe $70 for the year. DS7 went through all subjects in Brainpopjr.com in 3 months so we got our subscription changed over to Brainpop.com. Probably should have just started with the higher one to begin with.
Before paying for a subscription, check with your school or library. Some have subscrptions that include at home log-ons for people within a certain area.
