lovinmomma Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I'm wondering: 1) Approx. how much time per day WP S&S took apart from math and LA? I realize that it depends on how many of the extention activities you do, but I"m more looking for an estimate on how much time the "meat" of the program took. I would most likely add in my own math and LA. 2) How much of that time was independent student time and how much was teacher time? 3) Do you think this program would be possible for someone like me who also works? I work nights (about 2 shifts per week), so I really need something that's open and go. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crl Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 WinterPromise is usually very open and go. They normally give you a list of materials needed in the beggining of the year so you can have those ready when you need them (at least in the programs I've used). But I'm not sure Sea and Sky is where you want to place your children if the ages listed in your signature are correct. Hopefully someone who has used S&S can help you out more.

Mandy in TN Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 My middle ds used this in 9th grade with the OLG. It was his best year of homeschooling ever. He is now in his second year of college, so I don't remember much about times. What I do remember is probably useless as your children are so young.

DianeW88 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Your kids are too young for Sea & Sky. I would go with Animals or Am History 1. And while it's "open and go", it's also teacher intensive. It's not independent learning, by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovinmomma Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Sorry, I guess I should have clarified. It will be for 1 student. 5th grade. My dd wants to come back home when she reaches 5th. I'm planning ahead as I will have to SERIOUSLY save up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowWhite Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I would say it took us about two hours per day when we did most of our activities (we didn't always do everything). I'd say it would be difficult for a fifth grader to do on her own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowWhite Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I just wanted you to be prepared that although it's open and go it requires adult participation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
