melmichigan Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 So I thought I'd ask in a poll. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 We use the WTM now, so I voted for that. I was thinking that it's a very good thing that you didn't ask what curricula have you used :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teachmejoy Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I voted SL because we used it this year, but I should have done WP. We're using their language Arts this year, a core last year and planning on using a core next year. We kind of stopped using the main core of SL for this year.

chrissymama Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm not sure how to vote, so I didn't vote. This year, and previous years, we have used a combination of Waldorf and Classical resources. Starting next year, we will be using Tapestry of Grace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momof5 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 We use TOG(3rd year), SL science this year, and WTM for Lang arts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyCrazyMama Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I voted for two. TOG for my junior son, MFW Adventures for my dd in 2nd, and MFW 1st for my dd in K (she zipped through MFW K so we moved on). Why not TOG for everyone? That's a long curriculum junkie story.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I voted WTM and other. My other is mainly amblesideonline/CM inspired/WTM forums inspired... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katiebug_1976 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I voted "other" because we are using a little of this and a little of that for the rest of this year. But beginning this summer, we will be using MFW all the way through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Robyn Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I voted WTM, SL, and Other. The only SL we're currently using though is the 2 intermediate readers and we don't even have the schedule - just the readers and we bought those used on the boards here. My list of "other" is long but I do have one question. Does everything not recommended in WTM count as other - even, say, math curricula that are pretty standard but just not recommended for whatever reason?

GnomeyNewt Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 We are using WP this year and we will return to WP again next year. I'm just glad to see WP on the poll list!

angela in ohio Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I voted 'Other' because we use a combo of WTM and VP. WOW!

boscopup Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 WOW! That is really interesting, considering ho wmuch talk there is about certain programs. Not at all what I expected... Since it's multiple choice, I imagine a lot of people put "SL + WTM", "TOG + WTM", etc. Afterall, most people who are here are probably using at least some part of WTM. I voted "other", THEN realized it was multiple choice and that the OP might be talking about all subjects, not just history type subjects, so really it should be WTM + Other (I use Biblioplan right now).

Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I chose 'other'. I use BJU for some subjects, supplement with SL and WP, and WTM for history ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiobrain Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Other. I have read TWTM twice, and live on this board, so it influences me, but I don't think I'd say I use it. My "Other" is too splintered to bother listing, but the only thing that I can say about it is that I use nothing else on your list. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 It had to be multiple choice because I myself use TOG, with SL and WTM literature selections. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenNC Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I voted WTM and other because we use secular materials. All the other options are very religion-specific and require substantial tweaking to be used secularly (and some just can't be tweaked enough to do that), so I don't really consider them when choosing curricula. What we do use is really from all over--MCT, Saxon, Editor in Chief, Logic Liftoff, a variety of websites, workbooks, etc. Agreed that no poll could hold me;). We're also using History Odyssey and supporting k12 offline materials, but I'm still working with WTM as an overarching guide in other areas, so I included it. We used SOTW for elementary history.

Spock Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 So I thought I'd ask in a poll. :) I use AO (years 6 and up--the lower grade history books just don't seem to work for us, though I use much of the literature for years 1-5). For lower grades history I have used an assortment of things. As far as methods/approach go, I use a blend of CM & WTM with a few ideas of my own. I marked WTM and other.

BiblioTech Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 AO, WTM, MFW (currently, but don't know if we'll do this next year). We'll never give up our Ambleside and WTM ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3lilreds in NC Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Other here - we're using Living Books Curriculum, and likely to stay that way. :) However, I'm considering getting FLL 4 to use with my girls. We got part way through FLL 3 and gave it up, but after our discussions during grammar today, I think we might need it! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofsbandeg Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Sonlight and then I wanted more hands on so this year we used Winterpromise.... in the fall we plan to use Tapestry of Grace (more options). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMamaBird Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 We use SL but follow a lot of the recommendations of WTM. For instance, we use SL Core for History but SOTW is just too good to pass up so we suplement with the audio and activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aubrey Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hmmm...when you put WTM, did you mean SOTW? I should have voted that way in that case. I assumed you meant classic WTM, though, & I voted other. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlbuchina Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I voted MFW and WTM. We are doing math, LA, and science per WTM, and Bible, history, music, and art with MFW. Next year will be WTM suggestions for everything except spelling. Love AAS here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree House Academy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 We use HOD as our main curriculum, so I voted for that. However, we add in Elemental Science for my younger son (because he enjoys it so much), which would be more classical/WTM. We also add French for both kids and we are using Rosetta Stone (I guess that falls under "other.") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquinas Academy Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Can somebody give me the meaning for the abbreviations of these curriculums?

Ritsumei Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 We're following WTM pretty closely, except for using Math Expressions, which we love. When we start spelling it'll be with AAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Laurie Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I voted before I realized this was an old poll. I was confused if you meant for history or all subjects, so I took it to mean all subjects and chose SL, WTM, WP, and other. SL is our main history curriculum, I am also using WP AS 1 this year though (with SL core 3) and we do like it. I use mostly WTM for my overall philosophy and for LA. Then we use a mix of other things like LFC and RightStart math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
