I have looked and looked on here to see if I can find a thread addressing this question (which has likely come up before), but cannot find one. Has anyone had experience with trying to adapt the 6 history/geography/Bible modules to a 4-year cycle instead of 6? We'd really like to repeat the cycle three times through rather than 2, but I really like the way the Modules are organized apart from that. We will be headed into a "Year 1" of sorts next year and are also toying with the idea of having longer breaks throughout the whole year instead of taking summer completely off - my oldest has cerebral palsy, so we have to continue therapies and would still need to do a lot of maintenance work (e.g., writing, reading, etc) so that she doesn't lose fine motor or visual skills she's gained, so this may work better for us anyway.
I keep wanting to write more, but I'm afraid it'll get confusing so I'll stop there. Thanks in advance for any assistance/ideas you may have!
) even though it may mean a relatively cursory overview of the Ancients since my kids are young. I should mention that my second daughter will be 5 and will sort of tag along for the ride with the 6 y.o. I also have a 1 y.o. who will be two next November, so he's a bit of a factor as well. Basically, I don't want to feel pressured to cover buckets of 'material' but our girls already love pointing out countries on the map since we know lots of people all over the world and they do have good attention spans when they are interested in whatever we're doing. I also don't push them, though, and have no problem stopping an activity if it is taking longer and I sense my oldest (my child with CP) will begin to fatigue.
