Jess4879 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 We are looking at trying from Adam to Us next year (with an 8th grader and 5th grader). What do I *need* to buy for 2 students? And does anyone skip the extra literature? Would I be missing something vital from the program if we didn't add these in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 The text book, obviously, each kid needs a timeline and mapbook and we do the lesson review. Personally, I do like “Our Creative World” because it is a bunch of primary source material, but it does add more reading. Ideally, if I had only one or two kids who were motivated, I would take a day or two per lesson and do all the things. But, I have 4 kids who struggle and it’s hard just to get math done, Kwim? So, we do what we can. I’m really hit-or-miss with the literature. We didn’t do the lit with “From Adam to Us” but we did do it with America the Beautiful and I was glad I did. The lit choices in that book were really really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Notgrass did not have this offer at the stage we needed world history so we did core 6 & 7 with sonlight and most of the books offered by Notgrass for this we read and i would highly recommend them... So if you think it is a lot of reading...you could break the reading up and do the whole thing over 2 or ever 1 1/2 years of school time or do some of the reading as a read aloud time.
