LifeLovePassion Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 A friend from co-op used it last year and is using it again this year, she really liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracegiven4 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Thanks I wonder how much teacher prep is involved? It would be for my 1st and 2nd grader mostly.. but I will also have a k'er this year so I definitely need open and go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadowlark Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I'm following, and think it looks great, but have heard there's a lot of teacher prep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracegiven4 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Thanks Amy! It does look so good! I was thinking of doing the first grade guide for my k, 1, and 2nd graders. I love the books that they use . And, I love the idea of studying both world and ancient history at the same time . The first grade curriculum seems like a nice mesh ( for us) of what they should be learning at this stage .. But, I do have toddler who is very active so I need open and go. I also feel like I will need some type of history cycle ( eventually) that I can fold them into ... But for now this seems so fun and interesting .. Maybe I will email them to see how much prep is involved . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie131 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I used LBC for a few months last year but had to quit as I had a new baby in the NICU and got so far behind I felt like I'd never get caught up so we switched to something different. It is a lovely curriculum, but I found it difficult to combine my kids (K and 2nd). I used the grade 1 curriculum. Many of the books are advanced and went WAY over my Kers head (he was a young K - still 4 when we were using it). I didn't use the LA at all, but could have for my Ker (it is very gentle). I didn't find it to be much prep. I went through it all when I first bought it and made a list of supplies, it was easy to just look at my list and pick up what I needed each week. I really wish I could have given it a fair shot this year b/c I could have made it work for us if we hadn't gotten so far behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagira Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I'm going to be using LBC 1 with my first grader. I own many books already and only needed a guide as I also have a 5th grader (I'm planning own curriculum here) and a mentally and physically active two-year-old.

Gracegiven4 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Thanks Marie, I really want to combine my kids but I am finding this isn't as easy as I thought it would be :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracegiven4 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Sagira, have you used any other levels of LBC with your older child? Do you love the books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
