Also wanted the timeline as too much faff. i think iwill do another order next year and think of the readers.

i got some maths manipulatives last year. was tempted by pattern blocks this year but had run out of money!

Not looked at the first yet so can’t comment. The Aesop is the one that they say is preferred on the CM Ambleside curriculum because it’s illustrated by Milo Winter, it looks good. There are loads of the fables in it too. I love the timeline, and although it isn’t cheap it’s much better (imo) than printing it all off, much too much hassle for me!

I love the Childs book of Art and it’s much cheaper than the K Art electives but it really only has works of art in under different groups like counting (one picture has 1 kid in, one has 2 etc) but I do like it. My 2 like looking at it occassionally.

Didn’t get any reading or handwriting stuff as just spent on all the JP stuff in Feb and can’t be doing with handwriting books, never really saw the point, but maybe one day I’ll change!

I got some maths manipulatives, the pattern blocks and linking cubes. I also looked at what I had wanted and basically checked what Amazon didn’t have and ordered that thinking I could do an Amazon order at another time. So I got a couple of Early Reader books (but much too hard for M atm) Little Bear, a Titanic one and Greg’s Microscope (about sciency stuff I think). I know you didn’t ask what I got but lol!!

Anyone know? [and some things were just from sonlight]
