Konos is like having an extra (EXTREMELY CREATIVE) brain to add with your own... it is a million of ideas on how to teach different subjects that are separated by topic and by character trait. For example, the Obedience character trait is taught through the topics of Kings and Queens, Horses, Light/Bible/Authority, Friction & Resistance, Crime and Punishment, and Military. Each topic has almost an endless idea list of hands-on activities, dramatizations, dialogues, projects, book lists, crafts, experiments, field trips, etc. that will help you teach your child about the topic. All through each topic, you also learn about what GOD thinks about the topic through bible lessons, memory verses, and scripture study on different characters through Bible history. If you are interested in this kind of learning (the best kind - if you ask me!), you should get a copy of the Konos Compass (on the Konos website: http://http://www.konos.com/products/booksuppt.htm ). It's only 25$. It has sample curriculum pages, lists of what your child needs to know by what age, and more. Or you can check out the online free sample unit/pages. I couldn't find them quickly... but I could ask someone on the E-loop if she doesn't want to buy the Compass.<BR/> <BR/>My children are 8 and 6 now, but they still REMEMBER units we did when they were 5 and 3! I would recommend Konos to anyone! :) The only thing you have to add to Konos is Phonics, Math and Grammar... we use A Beka for those things, but also supplement these subjects with ideas from the Konos Books.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!Sprittibeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992769339576987845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-1124918966046359762005-08-24T16:29:00.000-05:002005-08-24T16:29:00.000-05:00Thanks for sharing your schedule.
