Yes, as a former Director, this is the general idea but it very much depends on the number of children. The smaller the campus, the more likely you will have a larger range of ages per group. Otherwise, most directors go by birthdate but definitely adjustments are made based on varying reasons. :-)

Mother of Divine Grace?

Hi! I am looking to start my daughter in MUS Alpha. With her personality and learning style, I think this will work best. I know MUS takes a different approach than most math curriculum so if switching from MUS, there may be holes. Has anyone used MUS beyond the elementary years? I have read where some have and their children's math proficiency has been awesome. Any personal experiences to share? Thank you! Lynn

Thank you!

On the VP class site? We are doing the 2nd period with Rome...I logged into our account but there wasn't any information. Did I see you can decipher it from the catalog?

HI! For all that use VP Self-paced history, how do you plan your literature selections? We are starting this fall and we are using their literature selections. When I contacted them, they said it refers to the book selections in the online course but that limits my planning if I cannot access ahead of time....or can I? what do you do? thank you!!!

I like the idea a lot. I just have to lay everything out and then see how that would work. I also like the morning time ideas so I am going to try to combine them both. Pam Barnhill at http://edsnapshots.comhas a lot of info on this as well. :-)

agreed it took too much time and I felt the same about AAR

We just attended a beginning class by Mr. Pudewa and my daughter wrote something absolutely lovely just following his simple technique. I found myself relating very easily to it. He has a youtube channel you could check out as well.

we just started using it and we like it a lot. my daughter loves the songs and books!

Go to great hall productions and look at his catalog. He has CDs listed under each SOTW time period. 😃

thank you ladies!!

Thank you! Can I ask, did you purchase the literature set they sell and are you combining any age groups? :-)

for those that use IEW. I see companies like CC and Veritas Press, just to name a few, use IEW with Essentials of English Grammar or Shurley English...I thought IEW was a complete program...no? How do you use your IEW?

hello all.... I am looking at Veritas SP History (BTW on sale for $99 until May 25th)....I know the kids will love it BUT I remember SWB talking about videos etc being very reactive and not allowing children to be proactive in their thoughts and mindset. We love SOTW audio.....working on the fall.. Thoughts? Thank you...
