christall Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 My daughter will be in 3rd grade next year and we are adopting a little girl from Ethiopia. I want to continue with SOTW and Singapore Math - but am open to other options with the remaining subjects. I've heard wonderful things about the Sonlight program but truthfully it seems rather confusing to me. I am hoping it will make more sense when I have the catalog and can see how things are put together. Is is possible to combine SOTW w/ the Sonlight curriculum? Does anyone here do that? Can you share your thoughts about how it works? Thanks, Christall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Actually SL uses SOTW in their Core 6 program. (And in Core 7 too, I think.) Of course, that's a bit ahead for your dd. For her age, I would select staying w/ SOTW or going w/ SL, but not trying to combine both. At your dd's age, if you went w/ SL, you'd most likely be using Hillyer's Child's History of the World as your spine. Don't know if that helps explain things or not.... ETA: I've used SL's programs for history cores, but not Language Arts, so that's what I was basing my answer on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I like Sonlight titles but have never used their full curriculum. I tend to follow the 4-yr history rotation with WTM/SOTW/Biblioplan and plug in Sonlight titles that I like to round it out. I also tend to give Sonlight titles as gifts to the children (shhhhh, don't tell them they are schoolbooks; they think they are fun reading).
