What was your AL's favorite open and go curriculum?

My daughter states that Ellen McHenry's The Elements is her favorite thing to use so far. I'd say it's not *quite* open and go, but pretty close.

 

She confirms that my guess of MCT's Island Level is also very high on the list. This took some scheduling on my part, but was otherwise open and go.

 

(No matter how much I love Beast, I don't think it will ever make the top of her list.)

Don't throw tomatoes at me. My dd likes MP's literature stuff. We pick and choose titles, and grade advance it. But she likes the extra side bits of info in the guides. It's thoughtful, adds to the reading, and gets done quickly.

 

We like CAP's writing and Rhetoric first five levels (well, except 4, we skipped it).

 

Ellen McHenry Mapping the World mapping part. Pop in the DVD and go (unless she's misplaced it.)

 

K12 Human Odyssey- read and discuss. I occasional pull a writing topic out of the student pages.

 

Minimus was a favorite, but that was a supplement.

 

Derek Owens Physical Science.

None. We have never met any scripted curriculum my kids liked - even highly lauded options contained far too much busywork.

(AoPS is the stellar exception)

I have to agree with this. I find myself cobbling stuff together to make a curriculum that would fit and then, before I know it, I am tweaking it again.

 

Notable exceptions: Beast Academy was the most exciting and favorite open and go curriculum so far, followed by AOPS (no funny cartoons in AOPS, so it is not our #1 favorite curriculum, we still like math better when there are cute beasts involved!). We also had luck with Getting Started with Latin and Getting Started with Spanish books.
