TyraTooters Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 And after doing Abeka for first grade and being used to worksheets it's so hard to believe and wrap my mind around not using worksheets this time around! We are quite excited about that, and hesitant at the same time. I know they were mostly for busywork but sometimes it really did help to drive in the concepts learned. Have any of you switched from something more traditional like Abeka to something more classical like WWE and FLL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietchapel Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Yes, but then I switched back to worksheets for skill subjects. It's just easier for me and my dc feel it is more clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 It really depends on the curriculum and how those worksheets are used. Sometimes they really are needed for extra practice or for reinforcing a concept. Some books are set up to teach in the textbook and then apply/practice in the workbook/worksheet.

happyhappyjoyjoy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Over all I get what you are saying. We cut out a lot of busy work when the baby became high maintenance. It was a blessing in disguise. The Memoria Press books we use are great (CC 1/Fables, FF Latin, and Prima Latina.) Abeka math workbooks are great for us. We are more focused on memory work and regular music practice, read aloud, and silent reading times than a lot of the other busy work.
