freeindeed Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 My dd12 is currently using SL Core F. She used Core D+E last year. She is NOT one who enjoys reading, which I posted about in an earlier thread. I am pretty sure we are making the switch to OM next year. Others have mentioned that we should start with OM 6 b/c it's the first year of a two year history. My question is: if she uses OM 6 in 7th grade, then how will I get in all the years of OM if she is one year behind? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I wouldn't put her back a grade just because she'll miss out on history through the Middle Ages. If you're concerned, have her read through the first volume of K12's Human Odyssey series (which covers to about 1400) or the first two volumes of SOTW before starting OM 7 in the fall.

freeindeed Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Thanks for the input, ladies. I am really hoping OM will suit her better. She looked over the catalog and samples with me last night & said she likes the looks of it. Any more thoughts about putting her in OM 6? That is what I'm leaning towards doing. She will continue with Saxon math, though. We aren't going to change that. Everything else will be OM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Kitten Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I am curious about this, I always look at OM. And I would be using OM7 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm letting my daughter look over 6 and 7 to see what she might want to do. It's a tough choice for us, since she will continue with advanced math.

freeindeed Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 We have decided to go with 6. I really want to ease dd12 into the transition from SL to OM. When I showed her the OM samples, her face lit up and she said, "Now that's for me!" :hurray: Now I'm hoping her enthusiasm never wanes!!!!

I'm hoping my daughter feels the same. It will have more hands on than anything else she as done and I know that's what she is looking for. Wish us luck!
