I like that the geography lessons are dead simple to implement but my ds loves them so much that we have gone through a lot of them for the whole year already. He has requested a few to be added to our personal home library like the Zoey and Sassafras books. Most of the books have been big hits with ds. But I rarely use anything as it is written so you can take that for what it is worth. I still like it a lot, however I don't use it as written. We're doing our own spelling.Ĭhecking back in about the Torchlight K. I think we'll go ahead and do the Bard writing project, there is not too much to it and I think she'll like it. We've been doing WWE2 for writing, just throwing in bits of GH and now TL LA stuff for fun. I had bought Guest Hollow LA but am not really using much of it (found it to be too disorganized and scattered for my liking) except Beowulf's Grammar, dd loves the grammar. ITA that the LA is lacking, some weeks there is only reading books and writing vocab words. I was already doing a mishmash of LA so I'm just pulling in bits of the TL LA. We're doing our own science b/c I already had that planned, although I'm considering just doing homegrown unit studies.

I'm also using SQUILT, I already had tons of free lessons bookmarked and I'm trying to keep purchases to a minimum. We are liking the Two Truths as well but we'll be tweaking the schedule since I'm borrowing the books from the library and one of those is ILL (so I only have it for a limited time). The other books I'll get as I can find them from the library. So far (only 1 week in mind you) dd prefers CC. I was just doing SOTW w/ the activity book before but wanted some extras that I wasn't up to planning, so this is a help for me. I'm mainly using it for history and literature myself. But, I can't say I recommend it for others as a solution to 'what curriculum should I chose'. It's a super cheap curriculum with some good ideas, well worth the $35 I spent to support the author. I still look into it week to week for ideas. Great Medeival Projects book is well done, not just the projects but the writing. I didn't do the body movement stuff, but turns out: kid loves the challenge of memorizing poems weekly. We didn't do the "Investigation Log" but I love having the kid learn to use the internet to figure out veracity of stories. Just finished Fortunately, the Milk, which was cute. We are replacing the vocab and writing project with a more throughout language arts program. We replaced the science with RSO Chemistry because it's just a more interesting topic for us, and a better grounding for what's to come (I feel like if a kid skipped Energy Lab + RSO Earth, they'd still be fine for higher level science). We replaced the music with SQUILT, which goes at a slower pace and is more comprehensive.Īdded visuals arts because that was a weak spot.

We replaced the history with SOTW - plus activity book and the suggested extra readings. I think this is an OK curriculum, but I hated how scattered it was so we did block scheduling. I have Medieval Projects from the library online.

I don't have the Orchestra or Alchemers book yet.

We didn't do the Map yet, I haven't quite figured out how to do it yet. They enjoyed Igraine, I'd had it out to read anyway, and dd2 like the Vocabulary book just fine. We did 2 Truths and a Lie (misread the schedule and did all the sheets) the girls liked that too. They were sad when I told them that we weren't read tomorrow, even though it took an hour. I had to help dd3 here and there (she's just in K) but she did pretty good.

I was going to read Mona and have dd2 read Ted but dd3 had a fit that she wanted to read too. So, I had them read this today and they loved it. We've run into a few typos and such, but in general, the material has been good and the kids have been engaged. So the reason I gave up and bought it was that it was causing me too much stress to try and align other sources.
