    I have Genesis – Chapters 1-50 listed as my resource for Bible though we are following Module 1.  I got the idea from someone here that when you print out their completed work for the year to keep/file, it is nicer to have the actual books that were read be what is listed, since SMC Module 1 isn’t very descriptive. 😉  Anyway, we did skip a couple chapters in Genesis because they were skipped in the Module, and a couple others because they were not suitable for a 6 year old.  (Mostly the geneologies plus the stories of Dinah & Tamar) Now my summary plan lists…

    05/07/2012-07/28/2012: Read and narrate. Chapters 1-4,6-9,11-13,16,18-25,27-33,35,37,39-49

    I’m a little OCD, and I’m debating on just going back and checking the chapters we didn’t read so it will say a nice ‘Chapters 1-50’. 

    Would you rather have a more accurate representation of what was read in your report, or a simple and clean description? 

     

    (Yes, I know I’m crazy. LOL)

    For me, it depends….  for example:

    If we skip a lesson in math because they already know it – I’ll mark it complete…  

    If we skip a chapter in a history book because we aren’t covering it – I do not mark it complete….

     

    all that said…  consistancy is NOT my strong suit!  So it probably varies a lot!

    I don’t use the organizer, but I’m also a bit OCD:) However, my OCD probably wouldn’t let me mark it unless totally completed and 100% accurate…..but that’s just me:)  Gina

    I don’t mark it complete unless we complete it. There is a “skip assignment” button/tab under the resource (next to hide/show assignments) that I use instead. Or if you know in advance that you definitely won’t be using that chap. or lesson, you can enter it into the Org. that way. On the second page of scheduling, you can choose which lessons you want to use.

    Do you know where I mean?

    Thanks for the opinions.  I decided to leave the unread chapters as ‘skipped assignments’ even though it looks a little messy.  Overall it will still be so nice to the the summary print out at the end of the year though!
