Thanks again!

Thanks. I will sign up early next week since I will be offline for a few days at the end of the week and this weekend. That's okay, right?

There isn't a deadline to sign up.

All emails have been sent! If you didn't receive an email please PM and let me know.

If anyone on the board is interested or comes across this thread later and is interested please PM and I will see about adding you to the 'class'.

Is anyone experiencing registration issues ? When I try to log in to the web-site on the email, I get a message that the web-site is under maintainence with HTTP 500 error.

Any thoughts.

I had ok success a couple days back, I can take a quick peek to see if it's up for me.

Edit - Will PM you with an idea.

I logged in today with no issues, We will start the program next week.

Thank you Melissa for your hard work

Thanks Chris. I could get through the registration process.

Hi melissa
both my kids started today. they seemed to enjoy it.
it was a bit quirky though with where the lessons started. It seemed to start on a lesson at grade level 1.6.. beginning subtraction. is that by design? should i let them start there and see how they do or back up to the beginning. I want to use it in the way it was intended. I am posting here thinking others will have same question.

Yes Renie, I have the same question. I think Melissa is looking into how to most easily find the right fit, and how to manually adjust things if needed. From what I read, the intention is to start at what you know to be the 'grade level', if a child is still getting 100% after a few lessons (don't remember the exact number) moving up is recommended. If they are getting around 50% right, they suggest moving down. I think they said 80% might indicate the best 'zone' for a child/subject. (writing this from memory, so if any corrections are needed, feel free to point them out!)
Unfortunately I just plugged in ds' regular grade for language arts and that does seem too low, so waiting to hear more from Mel.
