Lots of great ideas and ways to make it work, and most of all hope and inspiration to try! Thank you!

Have you done the skipping around in SOTW? I am leaning towards that since I have already done the work of finding correlating books, but I am afraid the flow will be confusing.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605199703289297863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-1285186050770560742016-02-20T21:06:53.002-08:002016-02-20T21:06:53.002-08:00I am curious if you have a resource that puts the ...I am curious if you have a resource that puts the history sentences from all 3 cycles in CC in chronological order and can save me the time and effort of going through all three cycles to do it myself.<br /><br />Also, do you have a resource that would correlate SOTW to the CC timeline cards - again so as not to reinvent the wheel?<br /><br />Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110932810583419977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-6747638739447051122013-08-22T06:29:50.763-07:002013-08-22T06:29:50.763-07:00On your recommendation I purchased the Kingfisher ...On your recommendation I purchased the Kingfisher History Encyclopedia. What a gem! It's the perfect addition to our library.

I waited and waited for us to get a local class, but by that point I had decided it wasn't a good fit for my son who has autism and doesn't fit neatly into a certain CC level and I just couldn't give up my own history plans (the cycle they were doing wasn't going to line up with what we were on). If I had read this post a few years ago, my decision might have been different. ; )<br /><br />Instead we've just kind of come up with our own version of memory/history work and this year it would be most like your Option 4, except we're still using the VP cards and 3rd edition of the CC manual. <br /><br />The Half-a-Hundred Acre Wood blog you linked does look uh.maze.ing! I'm almost scared to look for fear I will add even more to our reading list for the year. : )Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095729633573268457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-19466165904559019802013-08-13T06:46:13.759-07:002013-08-13T06:46:13.759-07:00Heidi,

We are joining a CC community this year (finally) and I have been struggling with how to make it all work with my history-loving kids without flying through the timeline. We just constructed a wall timeline... hoping to post pics soon. <br /><br />Great stuff here. Thank you, thank you!<br />JenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07576598640051417294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-73452333304972222932013-08-13T03:56:42.737-07:002013-08-13T03:56:42.737-07:00This is one of those things that has always bugged...This is one of those things that has always bugged me about CC (this will be our 4th year). We've tended to do more of option #5, but I may look into the others. Thanks for the help!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00539535944862788478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-56158363009727550862013-08-12T17:01:13.846-07:002013-08-12T17:01:13.846-07:00Thank you for taking the time to write this post, ...Thank you for taking the time to write this post, friend! And for saying yes when I asked for it. ;)<br /><br />These are all super helpful suggestions, and I love that you provided 5 options. That alone helps me remember that there's no one "right" way to do this. <br /><br />If we do CC this year (still on the fence—ha!), I think we'll go with a version of your option 4. Like you, I love history and want it to be our spine for most everything else. But even more, SOTW is one of those resources that I'm pretty sure we will always use. We travel so much, I can't guarantee that we'll always do CC every year. But the SOTW audiobooks? We're constantly playing them.<br /><br />We did the CC songs last year, even when we did traditional school, and our kids learned so much from them—even without any formal study! So I can attest to their power. If we go back to our CC group, I think that's what we'll do—incorporate the songs & timeline cards as we go through SOTW, but not sweat it if it doesn't totally line up. <br /><br />We're actually on schedule to do SOTW2 regardless, so they'll line up somewhat with CC. We'll see!<br /><br />Thanks again for writing this. Super duper helpful. I'm sure I'll be referring to it often (as I do so many other posts of yours).Tshhttp://simplemom.netnoreply@blogger.com
