SOTW 3 w/ Truthquest AHYS 1

[LNC]

I want to use both of these this year. TQ uses SOTW 3 as a spine, but schedule only the American history chapter. I set up my notebooks with a divider for SOTW 3 & notebook pages and TQ w/ narration pages, coloring books, notebook paper for Thinkwrites, & paper dolls etc. I plan on covering SOTW 3 up to the year 1800 and stop. That's when TQ AHYS 1 stops. But, I'm not going to try to line them up perfectly.

 

I'm just going to use them side by side - if that makes sense. I have a huge home library of readers and read a louds for this time period, and I have marked what the library has for each week. I know basically where I need to be by the end of each quarter. Do you think that's do able? Confusing for the students? Or should I try to coordinate them into a 36 week schedule? I just don't feel like it - bc I know I won't follow it exactly anyway!

I think that's perfect. TQ is such a free form program. It would be hard to ruin it, IMO.

I will be doing something similar in that my oldest will be using sonlight core 7 which schedules in SOTW 3 and 4. We will take 2 years to do it, so stopping when she completes SOTW 3. I am using TQ with all of them for the commentary and book suggestions. I will probably read aloud the American history chapters in SOTW to all my dc while oldest dd reads all of it to expand her studies.
