meltf928 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 As you can see by my siggy, I have 4 children. Next year they will be PreK, 2nd, 3rd and 5th. DS attends our church preschool, so he won't participate in our school day activities very much until the following year. I thought I was all set for TOG, but I'm afraid that I'm chickening out for several reasons (cost...though it's not really a factor, planning, and I fear navigating DE on a Mac) I have thought about just going with SOTW b/c it would be so simple, but then I need to plan literature and put stuff together for that. THEN I thought about doing MFW, b/c it looks like it would be more open and go than TOG, but is it enough? I'm not sure? It doesn't help that I'm just terribly indecisive. I almost clicked the buy button on TOG last week. I know once I make the commitment to a program I'll feel better, but getting there is frustrating me! Any advice!!!

warneral Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm feeling the same way. I am doing ancients next year for 3rd and 4th and cannot decide! I have a first version of MOH, a SOTW set (audio, AG, book), the three week TOG sample of ancients, the three week sample of Winterpromise QAW, and the three week sample of biblioplan ancients. I am pretty sure I won't do winterpromise since they seem to have bad customer service and it looks like way too much. Oh and I have TWTM which I love too....

meltf928 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 We're going to be in the Modern Time period next year. If MOH would just hurry up and release their final volume, I would be set. We used it for the Renaissance time period and LOVED it. MFW sounds so appealing since it uses SOTW as a spine and I can get the audio CD. I have Lupus and some other autoimmune issues and my TMJ flares something horrible when I read aloud (or talk) too much. TOG just seems so thorough, almost to a fault.

fourcatmom Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Why is it so hard to choose a history program? I have been going back and forth myself. Both the history programs I picked out this year bombed for my kids. I want them to be excited about history. I want it to be engaging and captivating. I want a National Treasure type movie in a history curriculum. I am trying to decide between MOH and Biblioplan for my 5th grader for this year:001_huh: I ended up ditching my 4th graders California History book and enrolled her in a History class because I couldn't find anything that I liked.

mama25angels Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 MFW would be great for those ages! I don't think you can go wrong with any of the programs you're looking at, I believe it's a matter of your teaching style and your children's learning style.
