I do not know the author. I came across it here: http://www.preachhim.org/poempage.htm Glad others enjoyed it, I need to remember it more often. It is my personal memory work for this week! There's also a very amusing poem "what will you eat" on that age that reminds me of my late grandfather, very much.

This was relevant and impactful for me this morning and thought it might encourage others. THE POTTER I took a piece of plastic clay, And idly fashioned it one day; And as my fingers pressed it still, It moved and yielded to my will. I came again when days were past, The bit of clay was hard at last. The form I gave it still it bore, But I could change that form no more. I took a piece of living clay, And gently formed it day by day, And molded with my power and art, A young child's soft and yielding heart. I came again, when years were gone, It was a man I looked upon; He still that early impress bore, And I could change it nevermore.

Ds really likes MUS "vacuum" story for 8 and 9's. I could do without the slurping sounds on those problems, but he knows those facts cold! He also did well with math triangles for the ten families. We'll have to play go to the dump, he'd love that game,

Thanks to all who have contributed to this thread. We are new to homeschool and using sotw1 this year. I thought I remembered reding a link on this forum to a schedule organized by civilization using Sotw instead of just chronological/in order. Can anyone point me to that or suggest so,e search terms?

If you have an iPad or iPhone, we are loving the letter school app to reinforce handwriting in a fun, independent work way. You can choose which "font" they use, and I have ds do it with a stylus marker so it is closer to feel of pen and paper. This is a great learn on the go thing for us and if you're working on it nights and weekends, might be a good fit for you.

Wow! Great resource. Anything similar out there for SOTW 1?

Great ideas, thanks for sharing!

marking so I can find this again. What ages generally enjoy these books? And thanks for posting this list!

Bugsmama, Thanks for the link to your blog. That really helped me "see" how to do it, if that makes sense. Much appreciated! Anyone doing SOTW 1 this year interested in a year-long thread to compare ideas and notes?

We are doing Sotw 1 with a kinder and I'd love to see what other people's plans are! It's our first year of hs and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with all the planning. Found this thread via search and would love to see Schedules!

Subscribing since we will do SOTW 1 with a K this year.

Thanks for the information. I'll start watching them on ebay :)

Great deal for playmobil. I ordered, thinking we are doing SOTW 1 this year with a DS in K and this would be a nice add-on to that study or Christmas gift for him (he already loves playmobil and has other sets). I didn't see the pyramid listed on the site, has it been discontinued? DS probably would love the temple and sphynix, but *I* feel the need to have the whole set ;)
