Re: Why does CTC only use R&S Engl. 5 up through Lesson 58??

You could split the two books over three years. Otherwise, I would probably do English 5 over one year and split English 6. English 5 contains 119 lessons and 10 tests; while English 6 contains 132 lessons and 12 tests with the last test being a Final Test. My current 5th grader will have completed ...

Re: I have a few more questions....

I, too, couldn't tell much from the examples posted of Cheerful Cursive. So I have just stuck with BJU cursive since that is what we were already using.

Re: Preparing Timeline

Walmart carries index cards that are perforated down the middle. I am going to purchase these as it will ensure that all of my cards are split evenly. :)

Re: Notebooks for Beyond?

I, too, need to figure this out. As of now, I am just planning on one notebook for copywork and then index cards for Memory Verses and Spelling words. Unless, I find out differently as we go along or from someone who has been there and done that.
