I found my explode the code A, B and C books. Yeah. I was going to start them with Alyssa. She is beyond the concept of them... but her gripe and pencil steadiness is not where it needs to be to do them. I am at a loss if I should just skip them and save them for Tristan. That might be my route. I think with a few more months her hand steadiness on a pencil will have matured to writing things better. But her brain is beyond that. I know she could breeze through those books. That is what is good about two totally different kids that are not that far difference in age. I can just save things if I don't use them.
I found so many things I want to get from Usborne books. Wow... I could spend a fortune in there. I am going to have to narrow this down. The confusing part...
I see that sonlight uses Usbornes books a lot. I also noticed when browsing the books on the Usborne site that there is a LOT of Evolution pictures in the books. Meaning Cave People, etc. What do you do with that? Also the millions of years. I don't want to have to continually make her doubt her material. Should I just skip the books entirely even though they seem like a good portion of the curriculum? I am not on one curriculum yet but when I have extra money (yeah right what is that?) I am buying pieces of it here and there. I can get it the same price through a friend who would make commision on it. But I dont like the looks of the books.
I love answers in genesis things. But they don't seem to branch out as far into things as Usborne does. AIG sticks more with creation and evolution and dinosaurs etc.
So has anyone gone through sonlight K and 1st? What did you do with the books that show things we do not believe in?
