I'm an early riser as well, but how do you manage to stay up so late? I love that I'm not the only one who occasionally crams for Bible study. :)
ReplyDeleteWhich curriculum/core(s) do you use?
I checked it out Brianna, thanks for linking us :)
ReplyDeleteLorelei, I haven't been getting enough sleep these days...don't try this at home ;-)
Regarding Sonlight, I've used Core K, 1, and 100 pretty much as written. Then we've used parts/pieces, primarily literature, from Core 2, 3, 4, 5, and some other high school cores. I own most of the cores by piecing together older sets. We love SL books, but I'm too eclectic to be bound the guides. After Core 100 with one of our older dd's I was very burnt out by the IG so we started just reading the books along with other studies and bypassed the IG's. I really like TruthQuest history guides for the chronological book lists and Beautiful Feet guides for books and questions. I usually always look through the lists and end up picking SL books :)
Thanks for logging on,
Melissa
I was a little concerned when I saw that you wake up at 4:00 a.m. but then chuckled when I realized that it wasn't actually on purpose! Sounds like a great schedule. Thanks for sharing.
