rootsnwings Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think that says a LOT about a curriculum, honestly! I was having an internal debacle about Language Arts and just realized today that what we've been using has really worked well for us. The part he didn't like was the writing and I think he'd be that way with ANY program. All the other components were SPOT ON so I placed our order for K12's LA5 earlier today!!! :D I also ordered the 5A materials for Singapore since we'll be finishing up 4B in a couple weeks. We finished SOTW2 last week and will continue with SOTW3 (sitting on my shelf) after we take a short hiatus to complete our timeline work from the very beginning since we haven't been keeping up with a timeline (and listen to the audio CDs up to through the end of SOTW2 since we just got them...) I'd just like to see what other people use and continually go back to... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Singapore NOEO--I've already got Phys I; loved Chem I; have really, really not enjoyed Bio I/II, so after Phys I, we'll probably look for something new. MCT We're finishing SOTW this year, so will be doing something new, but I don't want to leave it off the list. It's the *only* thing we've stuck w/ since beginning homeschooling, although we picked up Singapore very shortly after SOTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Create Your Ritual Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I have really enjoyed The Sentence Family (the kids are asking to do it again this summer for fun), it's what we started with at the beginning of the year when neither of them knew a thing about parts of speech) MCT (We followed it up with MCT Island and they now love a fish names Mud) .. not to mention I had a 7 year old doing 4 part sentence analysis and understanding it all just fine. R&S English (it pretty much taught itself) MM has been such an eye opener having come from Saxon at ps. We have loved it. The Geography Coloring Book - has been very fun for them. They love reading and coloring all of the border and countries.. it also has broken down each country by rivers, mountain ranges and plains. They have enjoyed it. I don't think we are half way through it and we mix it with other geography skills. Lively Latin has been loads of fun and we will be continuing with it next year. I am loving the progym. exercises we have begun with WT1. We will move into CC next year using the same approach to classical writing. OH... and I can't forget WWE. They all have learned so much about copywork, dictations and retelling stories back to me. I love that they read an excerpt from one of the books for their weekly assignment and next thing you know they are checking the whole book out of the library!

Mom0012 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 It's a great feeling to realize what you are using is working. The only thing I don't like about it is that it takes away my hobby of curriculum researching and shopping.:001_smile: Next year, will almost be a repeat of this year for us. We'll just be using the next level in most subjects. Sonlight (all but the LA) - next year will be our 6th year with this program CLE Math - My daughter has completed 2 levels and I've bought the next 3 already because I love this program so much CLE LA - Again, great fit for my daughter IEW - Perfect for my son. He takes an outsourced class, but if it wasn't available we'd do it at home. Next year will be his 3rd year using this Rod & Staff Math - My son has used this from 1st grade on. He's partway through level 6 Saxon Grammar & Writing - This is another one that is working so well, I've bought up 2 of the 3 remaining levels because I know we will use them IEW Linguistic Development Through Poetry Memorization - Next year will be our 4th year using this La Clase Divertida - Next year will be our second year and I've already bought level 3 as well. This program is fun and we're learning a lot. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
