I use CC as the starting point and add in elements from LOL. CC can bounce around a bit, you'll be doing Ancient Egypt then you'll have chapter of Stonhenge, back to Egypt and then China, back to Egypt again ... I understand why it's done that way but, my kids got lost jumping around. Halfway through the year, I broke the chapters into regions and started doing it that way. We are now finishing up Ancient Greece. I wanted to do too many of the things in LOL. I've scaled back a bit. I plan an entire unit at once (like Ancient Greece for example). Each week will focus on one the CC chapters. I look at the extras in CC and LOL and see if anything sticks out right away as a must do and pencil that it first. Then I look at books and videos I want to add. I like some spine books like Usborne History Encyclopedia. I also look for biographies and historical fiction to read. If there are any virtual museum tours or historical site tours online I like to add them in. Then I look at the activities and note which ones I like. I no longer stress if we don't get to everything I plan since we really enjoy it and learn a lot regardless.

Omg! Yes, we are in a lot of sports and the stuff you hear is crazy. I've left games even at the YMCA fighting back tears over how even a few select parents were treating their own kids. Thank you I really appreciate it. As a homeschool mom, I think we all often have times when we doubt ourselves and when strangers attack you where your feel those doubts it can be hard. I've really noticed over that past year how well me kids are thriving and have become even more aware of the extremely negative environments, experiences and education that is out there in the schools near me. If have less doubts and more confidence. Thank you so much for your nice comment.
