Not practical for a classroom setting; plan to break reading into chunks for homeschool

I formerly homeschooled and now teach at a school that utilizes the Charlotte Mason approach. I liked that this product included beauty subjects and handicrafts, but the readings assigned for each day were simply not feasible. The plans state to read an entire (VERY WORDY) book each day - far too much for even upper elementary to sit through in a read-aloud setting. For reference, one of the books in this unit is actually scheduled for our regular history rotation, and the CM curriculum that we utilize has it assigned over the course of twelve once-per-week reading sessions. I went through and selected excerpts to read, but this added to my planning when I was hoping this would be open-and-go. Also, I wish that a key/sample had been included for the map work.

Thanksgiving Fun for Families

I purchased this curriculum and am using it for the first time this year. I appreciated the clear layout and instructions. I love the spread of subjects covered in each day’s topics. I especially like the dual history and Bible focus. The printable resources are well made and easy to use, especially the narration notebook.

A few criticisms:
- The crafts were more involved than I expected, many needing extra supplies. We have been modifying some of the activities.
- The booklist was extensive with several hard to find titles. It did not feel easy to use the additional suggested titles as replacements, since the crafts tied in so closely with each chosen book.

Lovely Material

I really love the beauty and richness included in this curriculum. I think the price is a little steep for curriculum that only covers 2 weeks; however, it can be used again each year so for us it was worth it.
