SL Core H Book Prep
Pre-Line Up and Set Up
New Set Up Design!
 |
| As Dd is technically in "High School" she wanted me to mark her books so she could see which book to read next. I had been writing on the inside of the first page the core, week it was to be started, whether it was a "Reader" or a "Read Aloud", and on some books I wrote the schedule it was to be read--so she knew which chapters or pages were to be read in each days allotted reading. Apparently having to open each book was not helpful enough, so I wrote on a colored piece of paper the relevant information and adhered it to the spine of our Core H books. To spell out what I wrote on each book: "SL" = Sonlight "R" = Reader (for Dd to read herself, alone) or "RA" = Read Aloud (for me to read aloud to Dd) "#" or "8" = the order she is to read the books, starting with "1" "H" = Core H in the Sonlight Core We have two Core H Instructor Guides (IG), a partial one from 2008 and one from 2013. I like the old format of SL IG's b/c the book questions are all together, whereas the newer cores have the book questions split up into the weeks' section. |

| Each book will either be a "SL" (Sonlight) book or one that I've Added-In, which probably was a Sonlight book in a previous or future core than the core I am using. I put the Sonlight Bible books in her cubby first: "BBC" = Turning Your Bedroom Into A Bible College by Gregg Johnson "But Don't All Religions Lead to God" by Green Daring To Live Life On The Edge by Loren Cunningham Live Like A Jesus Freak by DC Talk (I've bought a few filler bible books that we will add-in after we finish our Veritas Press: Gospels program. I have bought five high school Bob Jones University Press bible books, but I haven't figured out where (or when) we will fit them in.) Our first Poetry book that I've decided on: Painless Poetry by Francis McPake Reader Line Up: 1) The Trumpeter of Krakow by Eric P. Kelly (previous SL) 2) The Hawk That Dare Not Hunt By Day by Scott O'Dell (Add-in) 3) The King's Fifth by Scott O'Dell (SL) 3 1/2) The Iron Peacock by Mary Stetson Clark (SL) 4) Madeline Takes Command by Ethel C.
