I'm wondering if there is such a thing as a free version that's similar to Winter's Promise, Oak Meadow, Living Books Curriculum, My Father's World, etc.?
The ones I listed all have guides. Last time I checked, Ambleside didn't have any subject/grade guides.
Ambleside is probably the closest you'd find for free...although I know what you mean. We use Sonlight and the IG is golden when I need it
Hmmm....last time I looked at Ambleside you did have to click around, but you could find a daily schedule. Hmmmm...guess I misunderstood what i was looking at OR what you're looking for. Sorry.
No worries. I don't think I was very specific in what I was looking for in the post. I thought the title said it all.
Depending on how you do Ambleside - I got a really nice weekly layout here: http://www.geocities.com/justahappygrl/ Now of course those are for combo years - but I did 1/2 last year with dd and 3/4 with ds. I'm in the middle (dang I just looked at the time!) of trying to piece together stuff for this year as I am trying to get focused (hard when its 94 degrees in April!)...
That was my first thought. Another (thought that is) - Dori Oakes pointed out a feature of Homeschool Tracker where you tell it to copy an assignment, but each copy has a subsequent lesson/chapter/story. You specify how often to create a copy (daily, weekly, etc), which days of the week, whether or not to skip school days. I was doing this in a more short temr manner before I realized (thank you, Dori) I could use it to create a yearly schedule for a given book. I still have to go through and input specific activities when they differ each week, but they don't always (for example, we're using SOTW, and we read on Monday and Wednesdays, virtually always do map work on Thursdays...but what we do on Tuesdays changes from week to week...so Tuesdays I have to make individual notes).
Yes - I use HST that way as well. I also import A TON of lesson plans from people and see what works for us. I spent yesterday mixing and matching a lot of Ambleside Online books from Year 1 through Year 7 for my kids. Some I did everyday knowing it could get done - some I did every other day etc. HST has made life a lot easier with me doing all this (especially after dh said no more switched on schoolhouse except Math & science!)
