I just bought the Anatomy one and cannot WAIT to start that one in fall! We also do the CLP nature readers here and there.<br /><br />We're going to be using AOY5 terms 2 and 3 and AOY6 term 1 for our history next year. It'll be our first year using AO, though our small co-op has followed this years composer and artist study. I'm looking forward to it!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16461019410811931654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-21116312898537330722010-02-19T05:16:16.064-08:002010-02-19T05:16:16.064-08:00Ooohh, we crazed, Type A Homeschool Moms.

I couldn't decide whether to start her in year 2 or 3, so I combined them AND still had her finish SOTW!!!! Don't want to miss anything, right???? Of course, looking back I realize that she missed a lot more by "doing it all." Live and learn. <br /><br />We do a lot of doubling up on science, too. Just can't help it. My girls don't seem to mind. We don't do much of any written work with it, if any, so it's not cumbersome to them. A lot of it is learning about something we are enjoying outside along with whatever subject we are doing, like astronomy now. I have, like you apparently just noticed, on several occasions, missed the "or" in the AO notes and mistook them as "ands". <br /><br />We, too, really enjoy the "Exploring Creation" series. I think there is a new one now. Anatomy perhaps? Maybe I can squeeze that one in......turtlemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998346925127529945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-70317468041068963752010-02-17T07:59:30.726-08:002010-02-17T07:59:30.726-08:00You are too funny.

We have have worked through the series (5 books in 3 years) and are currently finishing up Zoo3. We are using AE, Handbook of Nature Study, and Considering God's Creation (the later as a review of the AE series). Isn't homeschool the greatest? =)Michelle Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06381380110120976720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-60701607325421782442010-02-12T18:53:45.838-08:002010-02-12T18:53:45.838-08:00What!?

We are doing AO4 with Zoology 1 and AO2 with Botany but we've taken two years to do Botany, it may take that long to get through Zoology 1. I did try to fit The Story-Land of Science in ther also but it didn't work out. And now today I found out AIG has a science curriculum! But I love Jeannie Fulbright's books! Glad I'm not alone.<br />TeresaTeresanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-65884235597859172152010-02-12T10:29:05.558-08:002010-02-12T10:29:05.558-08:00Whoops...but it's a lot better than what I did...Whoops...but it's a lot better than what I did during our 2nd year! <br /><br />Abeka had switched up their books (and I apparently didn't look through them well enough), and so we went half a year before realizing that there was a spelling section!!! We caught up okay, but for a new hs mom, that was kind of stressful! <br /><br />I probably wouldn't sweat it now...I hope, anyway!<br /><br />Lord bless you!<br />Sarah<br /><a href="http://ahouseonfire.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">A House On Fire</a>Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10531460534392068507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-14778408528341876492010-02-12T04:54:40.858-08:002010-02-12T04:54:40.858-08:00That's amazing, your substitutions and all tho...That's amazing, your substitutions and all those science books. Good for you. Don't be frustrated about the library, you have surroundings to die for, nature life and a rich opportunity for your kids of growing in Peru. Wise moms always find resources.<br />And yes, we are from Texas. And you?<br />I need to link to your nature post.<br />silviaSilviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249978624747684879noreply@blogger.com
