I admire those moms who can keep up with it.

It is a beautiful, FULL notebook. I love how we can get to poetry, vocabulary, timelines, and great literature in less than two hours a day. I also need a schedule!Megan Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15559452070976940426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041584885210937476.post-15717161033103953352017-01-12T10:35:15.464-06:002017-01-12T10:35:15.464-06:00I love that Bigger is working for you now.

Looking back at her history, vocabulary, and poetry notebook, I wish I would have stuck with what was working for me. I love that she did much more than I required of her normally - I kind of need stuff like that scheduled out for me! :) Michelle Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06381380110120976720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041584885210937476.post-71269747726820956662017-01-10T16:05:29.556-06:002017-01-10T16:05:29.556-06:00I had to learn this lesson the hard way too.

It was actually a really good year, but I knew going forward there was no way I could expect a 2nd grader to handle the work of Preparing. That was when I decided to split them up and move the rising 2nd grader back into Beyond rather than moving him forward, and moved my oldest to CtC. They were then perfectly placed. <br /><br />While I loved them learning together I was seeing my youngest would never be able to keep up with the speed of his big brother. We still have plenty of opportunities to learn together, but now they are progressing beautifully at their own speed. I'm glad you're able to pull those beautiful books out of retirement. It's fun that your daughter chose it herself :) I hope your Silas enjoys it too!Prairie + Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048564643438501369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041584885210937476.post-19879341018522194262017-01-10T14:26:45.341-06:002017-01-10T14:26:45.341-06:00I am glad it's working now.
