I love the new K! This will be my 4th time starting from the beginning with Sonlight and I am doing it all differently. I am using T and Pre-K all in one year for my kindergartner with the K readers CLE K2 for language arts & Math U See Primer. I will use K with her in 1st grade. My 2nd grader is loving HBL A.
Outstanding video! Thank you for going into such in-depth detail about K Science and H/B/L K! We are about to start using SL K and SL C this year, just like you, so it’s so fun to hear from a family that has been using it and loving it.
Phyllis Reynolds Naylor was my favorite author as girl in the late 80s. I wrote her a fan email in college and she responded so graciously. Then I met her in my 30s. She was ancient by then, but it was so special to me.
I remember you saying that the old K history was too much for your big kids. Trying to decide what to use with my 4.5 year old this year. We did the preschool program last year. I was thinking I’d hold off on the pre K to use for next year for Kindergarten because I didn’t want to jump into the American History to early. But now they’ve switched everything around. 😅 So now thinking I’ll do Pre K this year and their K for his kindergarten year. I’d love your thoughts on this! I appreciate all the thoughts that you share in your videos. It’s very helpful to me as a new homeschool mom. 😊
I would do exactly that and it is pretty much what I did with my twins ... preK at 4.5, and K at 5.5! I'm really happy they switched everything around :)
I had to shelve ‘The Good News Must Go Out,’ and I understand since we had trouble with that book I might have issue with ‘The white Book.’ Also had to shelve ‘Mary on Horseback.’ I’m sure they are brilliant books, but the content is too mature for my child. I’d pre-read, The Good news must go out.’
@@Kiki-vb3sb Hi, so I wrote this comment a year ago, and now finished A and B and now on C. In my honest opinion, ‘The Good News Must Go Out,’ isn’t suitable for the age range whatsoever. What I found really uncomfortable was the frequent references to cannibalism. I can’t remember how far I got, it might have been 1/4 way through into the book. I remember trying to change the words as I was reading it on the fly to my kids, but I didn’t want to address the issue at all, so it wasn’t making sense to them. Some parents will feel it’s ok to address this issue at this age, and there’s no right of wrong, it’s my view for that age range, this book is not suitable for the age range. We did end up reading ‘Mary on Horseback,’ and it was quite tragic in places, but good. I feel this would be better for an older age group, but it was alright. When I say, alright, I don’t mean the book was alright, the book was very impactful, but alright for the age, doable but I’d still have put this in a higher age group for kids to listen to personally. ‘The White Book,’ that was fine too, I would also have say for an older age group than what A is for, but not unsuitable. It wasn’t a book we loved, too heavy going in subject for 6-8 year olds. So the only book I’d absolutely not do is ‘The Good News Must Go Out,’ I’d shelve that one. We never picked it up again, but perhaps better for 10-11 year olds. Young kids do not need to know or be introduced to cannibalism, why introduce kids to that. There are so many uplifting books we can choose to read to our little ones.

I'm loving the new K too!
I plan to use K for my son's 1st grade too.😊

That is fun that you are also using K & C!

That is so cool!

Thank you for letting me know - I will pre-read it!
Oh no! Would you mind sharing what the mature content was? That kind of worries me.
