So I did call them and they were more than helpful and are sending me scanned copies as we speak. Thanks everyone!

Yes I checked the pdf sample pages and they were not the ones. Still looking for just the first chapters in each book anyone?

SE stands for Sunrise Edition. Yes, 1-5 for both 601 and 701. Yes they both will start out with the review units. If you can manage this I would be so grateful! Thank you.

Does anyone have these light units that they can scan for me please, pretty please? I have ordered these from CLP but I am still waiting for their arrival. I have been asked to tutor my husband's boss's kids starting tomorrow for a period of 4 weeks and was planning on using this with them as part of their math curriculum. So if anyone that has these and is willing to scan and email them to me we can get started on these right away. TIA for anyone's help. :001_smile:

No we don't. They do Spelling Workout and we also use English From the Roots Up for Greek and Latin roots.

I have a 4th grader and a 6th grader and I decided to do SOTW2 with both with the older following along with K12HO. Last year we used the Kingfisher Illustrated History of the World and the Usborne Internet Linked Encyclopedia of World History. We had the HDVG but I decided to wait until this year to use it with my older one. So perhaps my question should be has anyone lined up K12HO with HDVG - since I have the SOTW2 and K12HO already lined up? Thanks for any help.

Another bump... I was hoping I didn't have to do this on my own...

Amazon has it at 34% discount....:001_smile:

bump

Does anyone have a cross-reference list linking the DK Historty: the Definitive Visual Guide with SOTW2? Thanks so much for any help pointing me in the right direction. :001_smile:

I know I have come across a list on this forum which had all the Sonlight books listed in the 4-year history cycle. I had it saved on my last computer as a bookmark but that computer crashed and now I am desperate to find this list again. I have done lots of searches again and can't find it. Please, can someone point me in the right direction? TIA.

I applaud you for your diet. You eat healthier than the majority of Americans on the SAD (Standard American Diet) diet. Obviously, I personally don't agree with the inclusion of animal based products which is what the Weston A. Price Foundation advocates - butter as a superfood anyone? Here is a link to the article by Joel Fuhrman MD titled The Truth About the Weston A. Price Foundation. Here. But to each their own. I do not want to enter into a full-blazed argument over the rights/wrongs of vegan/animal diet here on this forum. I am relatively new here and I really respect this forum for my new homeschooling journey. And I would like to stick around for while. :001_smile: As the original OP has requested, tips and ideas for her vegan curiosity, there have been great resources recommended by less provocative posters than I. ;) But when I saw a thread on veganism I couldn't help myself and had a little rant! - it was past my bedtime - sorry - slap wrist - won't do that again. I am a vegan not just for health reasons, but mainly for ethical and religious reasons. So if there is someone here is vegan half the year - great! - we have more in common than otherwise. Now, back to homeschooling for me.....:D

Here is a snippet from that critique: "For the record, I’m not dissecting this movie because I think everything in it is terrible. Quite the opposite, in fact. I believe the “plant-based diet doctors†got a lot of things right, and a diet of whole, unprocessed plant foods (i.e., Real Food) can bring tremendous health improvements for people who were formerly eating a low-nutrient, high-crap diet." And here is another snippet: "In case you aren’t yet convinced that I’ve made it my life’s mission to critique everything related to T. Colin Campbell, this should seal the deal." So although she is on board with the overall general message of the film, the rest of the critique was predominantly taking apart Dr. Campbell's research. Interesting, how she really enthuses over Dr. Esselstyn. Anyway, to each their own and everyone has a right to their own opinion.:001_smile: I still don't know how to multi-quote so I will have to post again to another quote! :tongue_smilie:

Sarah, who is the blogger, is actually a board member of the Weston A. Price Foundation. Another prime example of checking where your source of information is coming from.

I also totally and fundamentally disagree that being vegan is unhealthy. Come on people - the lack of protein myth in a vegan diet is sooooooooooooo last millenium. Just watch the movie "Forks Over Knives" and all the research and clinical studies are there to prove it. With that being said, you can be unhealthy on a vegan diet because you can still eat a lot of junk food that is technically vegan. But eating a whole foods, plant based diet with a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables is the way to go - it is the diet for today and of the future. For a great resource and recipes google the Engine 2 Diet (written by the son of Dr. Esselstyn who is the Chief Surgeon of the Cleveland Clinic and one of the persons featured in the film "Forks Over Knives".) The Protein Myth and the Calcium Myth (ie we need calcium from dairy) are just a few of the propoganda pills we've had to swallow from the Meat and Dairy industries. It's time more people wake up and stop drinking the Kool-aid.

We like Character First. :001_smile:

Love BFSU. We have been using it for a few weeks now at an accelerated pace for 3rd and 5th grader (roughly 2 chapters a week). I love how it is laying a great foundation of science for them. There is a yahoo group which I have joined. I have looked at a lot of the various threads here but there is one thing I can't seem to find. In the book, at the end of each chapter, there is a recommended list of books for further understanding. However, most of these titles are geared at the lower elementary level. I have been searching for a similar list aimed at older kids. The yahoo groups does not have this list; although there is one in the attached files, but it is blank! Sorry, didn't mean to hijack this thread.:glare: Definitely recommend the series.:001_smile:

:bigear:Oooh yes! This would be great.

That link is not working. :glare:

Definitely - Pimsleur audio - for adults are two thumbs up! For the kids - Chinese with Mike on youtube is a huge hit. Good luck on your exciting adventure! :001_smile:

There is a great resource called "Chinese with Mike" on youtube for beginners of Chinese. He is really fun and kids like his style. And it also is a very gentle approach. I would highly recommend for complete beginners in elementary and logic stage. HTH.

:bigear:

Thank you so much and many, many blessings to you for sharing.:001_smile:

Yes, I have received my entire order today! So this link is still very valid.:001_smile:
