I don't know anyone else who is using SOTW yet in my circles, but I love the idea of chronilogical studies. I just got Vol. 1 and the activity guide the other day. I've been digging through it and checking my library system to see what books are available for us to borrow as supplemental reading. <BR/><BR/>It's so cool that you are able to watch the Olympics along with your studies...who else gets to do that except homeschooler families?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874503145630891327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-27441123599283207782008-08-10T10:01:00.000-07:002008-08-10T10:01:00.000-07:00Kiley~ I'll be staying with the current history ro...Kiley~ I'll be staying with the current history rotation and just adding in the other boys as their ready. Leif will actually be in 1st grade when we start the rotation over, so he'll be on the same schedule as Levi but at a lower level. Luke will be the one who will be a couple years off (starting history at early modern in 1st grade). I'm not going to worry about it until high school when I'll have to decide what their history studies and great book studies will entail. Since we're doing multiple rotations of history, I figure they'll get a good idea of the chronological nature no matter where they jump in during the elementary years. <BR/><BR/>Good question!

Do you start him with the volume you are currently using with the older boys at kindergarten age and then go back to ancients later? It wouldn't make sense to have each child in a different volume during the elementary age because the parent wouldn't be able to do it all, right?! Any insight?! Does this even make sense?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874503145630891327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-85030927680341662852008-08-06T07:14:00.000-07:002008-08-06T07:14:00.000-07:00Thank you for not taking credit for planning that....Thank you for not taking credit for planning that. I don't need the guilt that I am not planning our school better. :)<BR/><BR/>Really though, what you are doing is the key. You are taking advantage of opportunities in life to enhance your boys' education. These opportunities are everywhere - we just have to recognize them and act on it. <BR/><BR/>Great job!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03504158169637316731noreply@blogger.com
