Guest mom24knights Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I will be homeschooling again this fall after a 5 yr absence. I have a 7th grade DS, 4th grade DS and 2nd grade DS. I've already started the Ancients with them but just found out that there's a co-op starting in my support group this fall that will be studying the medieval period. I'm considering moving VERY quickly through the Ancients (just presenting an overview, really) so we can join the co-op in the fall. Would the benefits of group study, interaction, crafts, etc. outweigh not studying the Ancients in greater detail?:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganClassicalPrep Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well, if you plan to stick with the 4-year cycle, all three children will hit Ancients again before graduating, so yes, in that case I would go ahead and get right to medieval. I wish there was a co-op like this in my area!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 It was worth it for us. The co-op we joined wanted to start with Yr4 so that the oldest students would be in Yr1 the next year, which was their 9th grade year. Being in an classical co-op was good for me and my ds's. It was a challenge at times, but for us it was worth it. Cinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
