Medieval Mom Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I place an order for SOTW AG 2 this morning:001_tt1:, had buyer's remorse:eek:, and tried to cancel it. But it's already shipped! :scared: (Fast service!:thumbup1:) I've been giving myself a hard time about it all day. :banghead: Could somebody please reassure me that this is a good purchase?:blushing: (We're doing AO Yr. 2 next year...FWIW.) P.S. Yes. It seems that buyer's remorse causes me to over-use the Smilies.:laugh: :leaving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in WI Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 SOTW AG 2 is awesome! I'm sure you'll get plenty of use out of it and realize that it was a blessing that you couldn't cancel your order. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayT Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 We love them here!! Hope you will too when it gets there, if not maybe you can return it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 We loved the AGs too! We could pick and choose what we wanted to do, but it had so many ideas for hands-on and map stuff to enhance the learning! Yep, we enjoyed them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlifemom Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I like it. I am on my 2nd go around with it and love the reading suggestions, the narration ?s, the craft ideas [i done next to none, but they are great ideas. :D] and the mapwork. I really like the mapwork. I do buy the guide and then one set of pages for each child. It is easier than copying, and works out to about the same amount when you factor in paper and ink. Have fun.

TXMomof4 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I love the AGs. We have all 4 and have used the heck out of all of them. Now that the kids are older, when the girls are being uncooperative they get the review questions to answer on paper in full sentences rather than the fun, hands on activities. And I don't have to think of any of it! Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammaruss Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 We did that this year--and LOVED it!!! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 We loved them too! Maps, questions, book lists, coloring pages, activities... What's not to like? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0mmaBuck Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I buy the hard copy AG for a teacher's guide and pay for the PDF of the student pages so I can print off as many as I'd like for the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I have been told that the SOTW 2 AG is the best one. I am sure you will get some use out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I didn't get it this year, biggest mistake ever! You did they right thing, but if you change your mind, I'll take it off your hands :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medieval Mom Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Well, you're are all making me feel so much better. :) I have a tight budget for homeschooling this year, and I guess I just panicked that I was spending my funds unwisely. :001_unsure: Somehow, I have to get over the idea that everything we purchase for homeschooling must be USED 100% and must be ENJOYED 100%. I'm still a newbie. I'll learn. ;) Thanks everyone! :):):) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Looking at the age of your children will definitely get your money out of it by the time the littles are in middle school! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I've bought a lot of homeschooling books in my time, and the SOTW and the AGs were the #1 purchase I've ever made. Biggest bang for the buck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I truly LOVE the AG and feel it has made our homeschool journey much easier. Don't worry about it--it's a great resource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 My mom was a librarian, and I love libraries. I pride myself on finding the best books for everything. But the AG guides are better than I am at that. I say that somewhat ruefully, as I did not realize this until after I finished SOTW1. Some of the recs in SOTW2 were so good that I went back and purchased analogous ones for SOTW1 just for review. Now that's good stuff!

mom2jjka Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 We have LOVED the SOTW2 AG this year! We are using MFW:RtR and it didn't include the AG, but I bout it anyways because I love it that much! I can't imagine doing SOTW without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
