Thank you! What about the Persians and Medes?

Okay, I know that Mesopotamia, Babylon are present day Iraq and the battles were over this land. But who were the Sumerians, the Hittites, the Akadians, the Syrians,.... Where did they come from, what language did they speak? I'm just trying to get a handle on them so that they're not just names to memorize. And who are they today? Can anyone help? Please? Thanks!

I'll be teaching this for a c0-op and am trying to figure out the best way, or the way that will make the most sense to me and the kids. Do you teach chapter after chapter? Or do you group the chapters by civilizations? If so, does anyone have a list or schedule of how you've grouped them? I'm so lost! Please help!:001_huh:

For those interested ebay seller jcrewnt is selling CWP us edition on ebay.

So what do most people use, the standard or the us? I have the US edition but the Standard is the most recent it seems.

Can someone explain the difference between Primary Math - Standard Edition and US Edition. Thanks.

Wanted to let everyone know that ebay member jcrewnt is selling CWP on ebay. Just picked up a couple.

just bought # 2 & 3 on ebay by member jcrewnt. she has others available and will combine shipping.

I've been reading the posts but please clarify - are they discontinuing the series or coming out with new ones next year? Trying to decide what to do. Thanks.

Thank you.

I'm a complete history newbie, about to teach sotw 1. So I'm thinking about teaching by civilizations rather than chronologically. So, what are the civilizations I'm looking at? Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome obviously. Ancient China/India. Then how do I group the rest? Sumer, Assyria,....etc.... that part confuses me. Thank you for any help.

I'm starting to look over sotw 1 for next year, and just looking it over, i'm getting confused! the medes, the persians, the assyrians,.... how do you help your child keep track of who's who and which empire conquers another? any visuals? I guess that's what I'm looking for, some sort of visual to track what's going on. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Wow, what creative ideas! I never imagined. I love the cube ideas and all the games. linda, i have a question about the "who am I game"? can you explain a bit more about the ball tossing. i don't get it yet. thank you so much for the ideas. you all have definitely added a more fun element to our co-op. anyone else? thanks.

What are some interesting and creative ways you've used the review cards? I'm wondering if there's some interesting ways to use them in a co-op setting.

How about The Backyard Scientist? Does anyone have any experience with that?

I'm looking for a book or a curriculum for a co-op class, possibly kind-1st grade or 1st-3rd grade. Does anyone have any suggestions? It'd be a 12 week class and I'm looking for lots of hands on learning, things that wouldn't necessarily get done at home, if you know what I mean. :tongue_smilie: Thanks.

I checked the library but there's a wait list that will take awhile. =(

I've googled it and can't find anything. I was wondering if anyone knew of a free audio download available. Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies. Aren't the ones by Rackham and Shepard out of print though? And is that the original one that's being talked about? I would love one with the original text with illustrations (if possible). Is there one out there?

There are so many versions out there (Penguin, Signet, Oxford..) Which version would you recommend? Thanks.

Does anyone have this book? I'm wondering which version to get for my sons (7 & 5). There's the novel and the new illustrated picture book, both by Lamplighter. Or Rainbow Resource, Amazon, and CBD have other versions, too. Which one would you suggest?

Does anyone have any advice specifically for my 7 year old and my 2 year old? thanks!

Okay, I have two questions. First, I have ds7 and ds 5. They're shots (up to 4 years) are up to date. Now for their boosters they're supposed to get between 4-6, are they necessary, or can they be delayed even after 6? ds7 hasn't gotten his three boosters. Second, ds2 is behind on all his shots. last time, doctor told me he had to get certain shots (b/c he's older than 2 now) for them to be effective. i forget which ones, may Hib or DTaP. Should I keep giving him his shots spaced out, or can I wait until he's three or even four to continue. Tried looking for alternate schedules on the web but none talk about the 4-6 year range, and all the alternate schedules just space out the shots; they don't wait until an older age. Hoping that some of you will have info or experience to share. Thank you.

I did look thro the website but it's down and i can't access it at all. do you know of any support groups in the area? I think we actually might be looking into the east side.
