Trivium Academy Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 A friend of mine has printouts called "What Every Child Should Know Along the Way", "Personal Safety", "Manners", and "Practical Life Skills" Where are these? Can I get them without buying something from Sonlight? Is it a pdf file available? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura in STL Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I received those lists as appendices in the Core Instructor Guide. I can't say if they are available on the website or not. Maybe someone with more Sonlight experience can weigh in, too. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I remember those. They are in my old PreK Core guide. I believe you could only get them by purchasing a Core. If I recall correctly, they were also in the old K & 1 Core guides, too (but I've since sold those, so I'm not sure). The Cores are arranged very differently now, though.

Heather in VA Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 It's part of their Core - not something they just give out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deece in MN Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 A friend of mine has printouts called "What Every Child Should Know Along the Way", "Personal Safety", "Manners", and "Practical Life Skills" Where are these? Can I get them without buying something from Sonlight? Is it a pdf file available? Thanks They are part of the appendix in the IG's. I have not ever seen them available for purchase or download. I guess I never thought they were a big deal, mainly just everyday, common sense type stuff. Have you seen them? It is stuff like: tie shoes, hop on one foot, walk on a beam with eyes closed, set the table, etc. They give a target age for when a child should be able to do these things. I don't have them in front of me right now, but if you have other questions I can pull them out and look at them. I honestly have only glanced over them when I look through my IG and have not ever used them for anything. But if you have specific questions, I can try to answer them for you.

Trivium Academy Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Awww, thanks Deece. I was just trying to see if there was a file ready to print to save myself some work. I think you're thinking about the physical skills, these are more like by Age 5 - Put Clean Clothes away - Clean own fingernails - Leave bathroom clean after use etc. all the way up to Age 16 & up. Some of it is no-brainer but some of it also gets forgotten. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes don't think of having my dc do some of these tasks. Thank you for bringing this up and reminding me about them. My dc will be so happy. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in IN Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 by Gail Martin. It sounds very similar to what you are describing. It's an excellent resource. I should actually go pull mine out again! Here is the amazon link for it http://www.amazon.com/What-Every-Child-Should-Along/dp/1883035538 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
