Don't forget renaissance and reformation, it's been too fast for us. We started in last August and I'm just getting into the middle ages with my 6th grader. We will keep going through the summer and be ready for renaissance and reformation periods at the beginning of 7th, then start core 7 in maybe January, giving us 18 months for it before 9th grade. I just couldn't keep up once we started Augustus Ceaser's World, 15 pages in one day was just too much information in one sitting. I've also started supplementing with BF and VP titles, so we will continue to take it slow and just enjoy the ride.
