Thanks Lynn.

Good to know. Can some one tell me if it is scheduled through out the whole year or just part of the year? I am asking because I really want to go through 2 Apologia books in a year by 5th grade (which is when my dd will be doing C to C) in order to get them all in before she starts General Science ...

How much time (days/weeks) is dedicated to this book? Will it be used completely or just parts of it?

Thanks all and very helpful.
I will go ahead with R&S 3 and just move at the pace she feels comfortable with. Will bigger have a schedule for this in the back or will I have to wing it?

Thank you.
I will be moving at her pace but am curious what would be the reason for going slow? Is it extremely advanced? A lot of work?

My dd will be 8 when we start Bigger (January 2013). She has currently done FLL 1 and 2, WWE 1, BJU English 2, and Abeka Language 3. Should I put her in Beginning Wisely ? She can write great sentences and knows ending punctuation (commas still trip her up) She can pick out basic verbs, nouns, helpe...

Thank you ladies. This is food for thought.

I am using MFW Adventures and am enjoying it. I am also looking at ECC from MFW. However I am also looking at Preparing and Bigger. Love the look of both MFW AND HOD. I am toying with the idea of using MFW ECC next year then do Preparing for 4th. I would love to get another year of US History in bef...

Ok. Now I think I am realizing it is ME who doesn't want them to have more independence!! I ENJOY doing everything with them!! I was reading this thread and thinking the same thing. I love doing it all with dd. She is my youngest so I am making it last...selfish reasoning I know but we enjoy the to...

Thank you ladies.

Are the Apologia books used as the spine for science in these two years? Or are they just used as readers?

Julie,
Thank you. I was toying with the idea of doing R&S 3 but not sure how this compares with the Abeka 3rd grade Language she is doing now. I am also toying with the idea of slowing down in the Abeka book and make it stretch to 2 yrs.

I am considering doing just the history portion of those 2 books for my ds, but I will only give 1 full credit in US History for the combined books. I will be adding in Government with Rev2Rev and Economics to Modern so he does not fall short on credits. Normally you need 4 credits in History....Geo...

Pam, Thanks for taking the time to try and give me some guidance. I appreciate it. I will find the right way to handle this by the time we start Bigger (September) and if not, the kinks will eventually work themselves out when we begin. Happily this is not one of those areas (for dd at least) that i...

" If your students have previously used an advanced program such as ABeka Grammar, you may have them go into English 3 instead." This is a quote from Carrie included in her description of English 2 in the Bigger package. English 3 is considered Advanced Grammar, so it sounds to me like that is wher...
