I knew about it before but never looked at it carefully until now. I WISH it was around when my dc were in grades 2-6!! It's BETTER than SL 3/4 (which we used) and it's FREE!

used Abeka 4 for a spine with it.) I don't know WHY more people don't use this-it's a perfect and FREE mix of SL and WP (the lady who wrote it has used both)!

And the author is on these boards!
Step on up, Jen, and take a bow!

I have great news, too! (with Jenn's permission, of course) She has year 2 in the works now! It should be ready by fall and will cover up to the present!!!

I know what I'm using next year!

Thanks so much Jenn!

We used it this year. Two thumbs up! How awesome for someone to put such a high quality schedule together and post it for free!

Just in case you haven't, look at her science curricula too. We're finishing up Little Otter's Science and had a blast.

Well, I don't know about a bow, but I'll blush! :blushing:
Thanks everyone for the compliments!

I wish I had used it instead of WP AS1. I would love to use the follow up one. When will it be ready??? YEA!

I have to take a closer look at this. Do you have to buy any books? I am going to really look at this closely. I only glanced at it before:lol:

You don't have to buy any books, but there are some I recommend you buy just to make life easier (consumables or things you use over a very long period of time).
The whole thing was designed with the idea of being easy to tweak and to use the library (or your home library) whenever possible.
The schedule is online, in pdf form and also in Word. The Word format is for those who want to change things but keep the structure. In other words, if a certain book isn't available to you, just easily plug in your own choice, etc.
I also designed it so you can have a day to day schedule or just work according to topic (so the box checkers never have to be "behind"). ;)

Let me know if you have any questions. :001_smile:
