    I will be following the Enrichment Year 1 ideas next year…and wondered if anyone else is following the free curriculum almost 100%, or do you use it as a guide.

    I am following the curriculum as closely as possible. It is very well planned and thorough in my opinion. I also appreciate how true to CM it is and yet at the same time large family friendly.

    I have looked at others and pulled a thing or two from here and there but always come back to SCM for my foundation.

    I love how it uses the Bible as one of the spines for history for years 1-3 and does a wonderful job of weaving it in for the last years of the six year rotation.

    I may do something different for scripture memory this next year, and we use Hymns for A Kids Heart VOL 1-4 for Hymn study. (I have heard, however, that a SCM hymn study product might be coming out so I will likely use that as well!)

    I am doing enrichment years 1-4 in order – hoping that they will create enrichment years 5 and 6 but would not mind creating my own either.

    So that is a long version of Yes, I follow it almost 100%. 🙂

    I use the history/geography/Bible guides and the free curriculum guide for most of our choices. We will stray from the history guides this year to study Texas history, pursuing it in a fashion similar to the SCM guides. We will continue to use the science, enrichment, and literature suggestions. I find them to be solid choices and we’ve been blessed by the simplicity.

    We are using it pretty much 100% except we are using Emma Serl’s Language Lessons rather than Analytical Grammar. I love how SCM is set up. I used it back when it was first created and then stopped using it. Yet, here I am 2-3 years later coming back and following it 100%. It really made a lasting impression on my children and wish I would have never strayed.

    I love these! We are going to do them 100%. I have other things I feel strongly about making the decisions on (like book selection), but I am overjoyed that SCM thought these out so thoroughly and I can just use them ‘out of the box’. It makes my school planning so much simpler.

    @Shanna: that is my story in a nutshell.  As soon as I strayed from a CM way of schooling and became too “academic” my children were bored to tears! Back on the SCM track with a couple minor alterations!

    @ Shanna. I, too, use Serl’s beautiful books early on, then IEW. I’m guessing that’s the only truly major difference until late highschool science.

    I hate to say it, but I’m glad to see I am not the only one who has made the mistake of straying away. 

     

    @Tailormade, what are you using for HS science?

    @Tailormade,

     

    What IEW do you move to after Serl’s books?
