kristinatucker Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Has anyone used the CL bible or social studies program? We are beginning to use their math and reading/language arts and was thinking of doing their bible and social studies. We do apologia for science... Anyone recommend or not recommend? kristina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phathui5 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 We use their 3rd grade Bible. This is the first year we've used it. I've found it to be Biblically sound and ds actually likes doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristinatucker Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 is it similar to like a sunday school lesson or will they be more indepth than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedClams Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) We are using Bible 2 and 3 and it's both kids favorite subjects. We do it daily. I think it's very thorough with lots of built in review (for 3rd). I am very impressed. The 2nd grade is a lot of fun, but to get the full point of the program the teacher (me) has to read a long bible story (not long - but much longer than the 1 page the student book carries) and then the kids read a clif version of the story and do a puzzle or something. 2nd grade is fun and easy, 3rd is a lot more challenging. I wish it were designed to be a daily subject! We love it. ETA - I would not say that the 3rd grade is sunday school-ish at all. More R&S but more fun and less writing. The 2nd grade is light but fun. We're working one grade level ahead (my 1st grader is doing Bible 2) and it's been a great fit.

Tree House Academy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 We are using CLE Bible 100 and it is EXACTLY what I had been looking for. :) (We also use CLE LA 300 with my older ds and I am considering it for my younger). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristinatucker Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hm , ok thats interesting about grade 2 and 3 being different. I love the idea of grade 3 and 4 books but now Im going to have to look more deeply into 2nd. I do our science, history and bible together so that means my now K and 3rd grader will be doing this together next fall in grades 1 and 4. kristina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristinatucker Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 I sure wish they had more samples of their curriculum out there! I joined the yahoo group and there are a couple pages of the books but its still hard to determine what actually is covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Bible 100 is a 1 page story followed by an activity like coloring, connecting the dots, etc. It is perfect for my 5 year old with a short attention span. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaof2andtwins Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Did you look at the scope and sequence? I have used the Bilbe curriculum for grades 7 and 9. I like the content, but the non-Sunrise format was a deal breaker for me. It is just not user friendly. So, I quickly dropped the 7th grade one, but I am plodding through the 9th grade one for my son. We may only end up with a half credit for Bible. I have not used the history as we follow TWTM.
