Erin I Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hi! First I have to say, I'm a peeping tom, I've read so many threads and finally decided to dive in and ask a question. What do you guys think of Considering God's Creation for a reading K student? I'm torn between it and RSO Life. The only reason I'm torn is that I already own the CGC, it came in a curriculum package. Should I go through CGC and then move on to RSO? Or just start with RSO Life? Thanks for any advice!

JESSICAinMD Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I haven't used GCG but I would use it if you already have it. If it doesn't fit your family you can always switch. RSO Life is a great option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I don't know the answer to your question, but I wanted to welcome you out of lurking and to the boards. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin I Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks for the welcome! I think the biggest issue is I[/u want to do RSO Life and was hoping to hear someone say "Forget CGC and just get RSO!" Then I would "have" to do it, because an experienced homeschooler told me to! :) Trying to remember to pace ourselves and that it will still be there in 6 months from now! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Forget CGC and just get RSO! Hehe, honestly, I don't even know what CGC is. But we sure do love RSO. And welcome! Good to see you come out of lurking. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erin I Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 thanks Satori and JessicainMD! That's just what I wanted to hear! I actually first read about RSO Life on satorismiles! :) I'm just so excited to get started, I want to do it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I have CGC, and I think it'd be better for later. The worksheets aren't all that useful at that age. I did a little bit with it with my first grader (an independent reader), and I got some information from it, but most of it would be better for an older child. So go with RSO Life, and save CGC for later or use it to supplement RSO. It's actually quite easy to use it that way. I was using it to supplement the weather unit of RSO.

Jennefer@SSA Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Just thought I'd pop in and say, "Welcome!" Glad you posted! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin I Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Thanks boscopup! Just needed another "nudge" to RSO. Hi Jennifer, thanks for the welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmoe Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 No idea what you are talking about (I'm guessing because my kids are older? ), but wanted to say Welcome! Thanks for coming out of lurkdom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi Erin, and welcome!! :seeya: Well, according to my research.....(just kidding! Can you tell I've watched too many episodes of The Magic School Bus!? :lol: ). But actually....according to Rainbow Resource Center, RSO is for grades 1 - 4 (and you could probably do it with a K'er who is reading well). CGC's is for grades 3 - 7. With that info in mind, I'd go with RSO....but I'd still keep CGC for the future. I've used parts of CGC and my kids have enjoyed it.

Ellie Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Welcome. :001_smile: I tend to think that CGC is better for older dc, around 8 or 9 or so. It isn't only the reading ability; it's the thinking and planning and whatnot...even the cutting and coloring. I'd wait on that. Not sure what "RSO" is. Sorry.

TracyP Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Welcome! I've never seen either program. I'm just bored on a Saturday morning but I'd pick RSO for sure. I do interest led science but RSO has been taunting me ever since seeing it on Satori's blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
