I was wondering what I needed to start off with for the first 3 weeks in Res to Ref (we are doing our own LA & math programs). I made a list from the week 1 sample pages below (except from the LA & Math boxes). Someone who has the guidebook, are there additional materials needed for weeks 2 & 3?

My husband's work had a new contract coming up which means that they might go on strike at the beginning of Aug (for who knows how long....) so I have to wait to find out if they are or are not going on strike before I get all my daughter's materials. <sigh>

Anyway, we will be starting off the two weeks (or longer if necessary) of Aug with doing only LA (grammar, writing, DITHOR) & math so that she can get into a routine with those first. I have never done DITHOR with her due to her comprehension problems, so I will start off doing level 2/3 with that level book. Also she has not done much writing so that will be a challenge for her as well.

I hope to order the first 3 weeks of materials as soon as we find out that they are not going on strike or when they are going back to work (ordering the economy package will not save us anything as we already the Mystery of History book and the What in the World CD; we also have Exploring Creation with Astronomy, Exploring Planet Earth, and Our weather and Water from the Science section).

Thanks!!

Mystery of Silver Coins starts in Unit 3 and goes through unit 7
Story of the Middle Ages starts in Unit 3. It is used at the same times a Peace and Peril.
Famous Men of the Middle ages starts on Unit 3 day 4 and is also used at the same time as Peace and Peril.

I know you didn't ask but thought this might be helpful too:
Map Trek starts Unit 4 day 2.
Peace and Peril ends for the most part around unit 5 and Monks and Mystics starts then. Famous Men of Rome and the Story of Middle ages is entwined with these resources as well. This goes on for about half of the year.
For science, you are good to go for the whole year. If you use Our Weather & Water book, then you don't need the other books.

Thanks so much Daneale!
