I have done a few of them and plan to do many others... and a few are really neat ideas I never would have thought of. Everyone has their own unique writing style and homeschooling style... all of them are such a blessing. How do you pick a "winner" in something like this???? It is nearly impossible. That is why I have asked another homeschool mother to help me narrow it to three (out of the 12 that were my favorites). My husband will be helping me pick #1 and #2 from that list tonight. Right now he's playing Star Wars Lego, so he's busy! Ha!<BR/><BR/>KAREN - I can't speak for everyone, but WE started Konos when my son was 4.5 and my daughter was 2.5 (Kindergarten and Preschool). We skimmed through the book and picked only a hand-ful of the activities that first year instead of doing the reall meaty stuff. At the end of that year, however, we co-oped (you can find out more about all the fun we had if you visit my homeschooling series on my top right sidebar) with another family and HAD A BLAST doing more in-depth study. My 3 year old (then) still remembers some of the things we did (including canoeing and an indian feast) from that unit and she's 7.5 now. :) I think KONOS is fun at any age (even for moms).<BR/><BR/>Yes, I enjoyed the 7valleys homeschool lesson plan. We have done a few similar things over longer periods of time, but for the younger set... that is an awesome way to learn it in ONE afternoon like she did it! We have also used similar passport type ideas at Bible school classes for Paul's missionary journey. :)Sprittibeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992769339576987845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13517164.post-1159659458904877532006-09-30T18:37:00.000-05:002006-09-30T18:37:00.000-05:00I loved 7valleys homeschool!!
