Jean in La Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I see so many positive things on CLE's math & language arts. How are there Science & Social Studies for the elementary grades? Anyone here use them? Thanks!:bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlugbill Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Some of the CLE courses are the new Sunrise Edition. Some are the older version- they are modified Alpha Omega Lifepacks, I think. The Sunrise Edition Lightunits are much better, IMHO. I recommend those, but not the older lightunits. Math, Language Arts and Reading are the new Sunrise Edition, at least through 8th grade. For science and social studies, they have only revised the lower elementary grades, not the upper elementary grades. They keep coming out with new Sunrise Editions every year- they didn't revise them all in one year. So, if your child is in a grade where they have Sunrise Editions available, I would recommend it. Otherwise, I would not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy to monkeys Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 We have had a very busy year, so we used Sunrise Science for 2nd grade. . .it's as good as it gets for workbook science if you ask me. Science is only Sunrise in 1rst and 2nd grades. I know Social Studies is Sunrise through atleast 4th grade. I'm very impressed with the Sunrise editions, but I wouldn't touch the NON-sunrise editions with a 10 ft pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in La Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks! I think we'll stick with MFW for history/science.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallorie Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I have no experience with them, but as much as I'm loving what we've done through CLE so far in regards to Math, LA and reading, I wouldn't do the other subjects with them. It'd be workbook overkill in my house. I'm looking at MFW for next year, with CLE. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be wonderful, but as we already use CLE for math, LA, and reading, anything more would be overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
