I'm a Ron Paul fan also- don't know why he never gets any press...

Hey our library has it! How frugal is that!

Soy milk had the same effects on my son that dairy milk did. We had to eliminate it entirely. I read somewhere that the protein in soy is very close to that of cows milk- so you may see a similar reaction. In our case our 2 year old starts biting, hair pulling and banging his head on the wall if he has any dairy or soy products. Needless to say the whole family keeps an eye on what he's eating now! My boys love chocolate almond milk. We buy the Blue diamond Brand Natural Almond Breeze. We use Rice Dream Vanilla Rice milk in cereal and in anything I bake. Hope this helps!

This is what I would do: 1. Make a list of all the subjects you want covered and the curricula you'd use. 2. Write up a weekly schedule with everything 3. Start re arranging and cutting things. My first thought is that it would be easy to do SOTW as your classical study. There are no LCC police that will knock on your door. Or Do SOTW on Fridays and its history and art if you use the activity guide. Music too if you have some playing while you read aloud! The biggest choice will be if you want to do just Latin or continue with FLL. You'll just have to choose. Or do both and you'll be more WTM and less LCC- and that OK. If its any consolation- you'll probably change our mind about 10 more times before your kids are grown!

Thanks for posting this. I've been looking for a good timeline!

Always have to have the last word- Anyway I'm Jen, we've been homeschooling for 6 years and we live in Northern IL. We're about exactly halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee (in fact I grocery shop in WI). We follow a combo of a WTM/LCC curriculum at home.

Hey! We're in Northern Lake County, Anybody else out there?

I've got s long way to go- better take some time off school!

We've used these and we just read them and did experiments. My boys did keep their own lab books.

We went through all of SOTW, it took us about 6 months per volume at 2-3 days a week. (we school year round) I asked the questions from the activity books for the first 2 books and we did the mapwork. The last 2 books we just read as a read alouds. Its hard to say how much was retained. My boys didn't like how the series jumped around between countries. They like the Famous Men series a lot more, and as they got older have read a lot of historical fiction. As far as science we have not used NOEO. We've used living learning books science when they were pre third grade. We now use a combo of textbooks from McGraw Hill as well as lots of living books for science in grade school.

Well, You could look at these sites for independent and family reading in each level: http://sonlight.com http://www.motherofdivinegrace.org/curriculum/primary.cfm http://www.materamabilis.org/

Thanks for posting this. I do a lot of ETC orally and this is a great resource.

We use the American School:http://americanschoolofcorr.com

Ours is up too! I'm hoping to finish my blog this weekend- there just never seems to be enough time in the day!
