Willow Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Anyone used this? ds12 caught me reading about this on the computer and has been BEGGING for it daily ever since. Unusual for him, he is happy to do what I say for school, but has never asked for a programme like this. As we are not in the US this will be a sizable investment, and I have not used WP before, so I would like to hear what others think of this programme We have been pretty eclectic up to now. In peace, Willow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowWhite Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I plan to use that program when my ds is 11 or 12. We are very satisfied with our experience with WinterPromise so far. We've used their Animals and Their Worlds and American Story 1 programs, along with the LA programs. I can't give you specific info about Sea and Sky except to say that I've heard some pretty good reports. The only negative I heard was some violent or dark content (Voyage of Ice, I think? Maybe cannibalism is mentioned?) You might find more specific feedback from Sea and Sky users at http://www.winterpromise-forum.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In peace, Willow. We bought the guide, the older learner guide, and the WP exclusives from WP. Then, after looking through the material and making some additions and substitutions we purchased the books mostly from Rainbow Resource and Amazon. It has been a good year. :D Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I am on the WP forums a lot. I have seen people complain about some of the other programs and not finish them. This is not the case with S&S. Everyone loves it. The only negative comment I have seen was that some of it was "over their heads" when used with a 3rd or 4th grader.

Willow Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thank you for your replies. We have decided to go ahead with this...I'm now rather excited. We will order this week and then comes the long wait. I get very envious of people in the states! Willow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
