    I placed my 4th grader in Genesis-Anc.Egypt (we just jumped inSCM) now looking at the rotation , I am thinking I should of started with Middle Ages. My question is we are coming upon the 12week term, would you switch now , and if so where would you begin in the Middle Ages at week 1 or the next 12 week cycle?

    I know some may think it doesn’t matter where you end up on the rotation but I have looked into my state regs and they will require the history that he will need on the high school end if we switch out to the MA.

    Thanks for helping me sort this

    Oops I hit the send button prematurely

    But another thought is I could finish out the Ancients and then next year begin with the early moderns so that means we would end up in the rotation.

    You have several options. Here are some that come to mind; you’ll probably think of others too.

    If you want to switch to Middle Ages next term, I would recommend starting at the beginning of that study rather than jumping into Term 2. Term 1 is Medieval times, Term 2 is Renaissance, Term 3 is Reformation. You could always do Term 3 during the summer if you want to be sure to start Early Modern in the fall.

    or

    You could finish the first rotation and then repeat the more modern ones:

    • 4th – Genesis through Deuteronomy & Ancient Egypt

    • 5th – Joshua through Malachi & Ancient Greece

    • 6th – Matthew through Acts & Ancient Rome

    • 7th – Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation

    • 8th – Early Modern

    • 9th – Modern

    • 10th – Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation

    • 11th – Early Modern

    • 12th – Modern

    or

    If you don’t have youngers to consider in the rotation, you could add more biographies, some economics and government, and take your time, stretching out the most modern studies like this:

    • 4th – Genesis through Deuteronomy & Ancient Egypt

    • 5th – Joshua through Malachi & Ancient Greece

    • 6th – Matthew through Acts & Ancient Rome

    • 7th & 8th – Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation

    • 9th & 10th – Early Modern

    • 11th & 12th – Modern
