It's August already and Spring-is-nearly-here fever seems to have hit our home, which inevitably makes me start wondering are we going to met the self imposed dead line I've set for us with our learning schedule?
Or: Am I going to need to cull n clear some of the reading list so that we have a more realistic work load - before we greet christmas ☺ and pack away another years books, folders and notebooking pages?
I've gone back and combined a few more chapters of SOTW4 into a weeks reading, tossed a few books into the summer reading pile, put others away as previously read, or just shelved titles to be read - another year.
We do want to be doing other things, besides reading, as the weather becomes warmer ....
The letter represents a 4-5 week reading stretch until we get to the last letter, I, which is only 2-3 weeks.

Hello!
I so enjoy visiting with you, here on your blog. I also have a question today. Do you know if we are or are not allowed to say what Sonlight books we are reading b/c of any legal rules?
Does this question make any sense? On my blog, when I put in an entry that stays we are on week 2, and these are the books we are reading-- is that illegal? Couldn't someone who hasn't bought SL's IG read my blog and deduct which books to read and in which order?
Should I be concerned with that? Does that ever concern you?
Any advise for me regarding that?
I just wonder sometimes if I am breaking the law somehow and not even aware!
Your blog looks great. I don't see you doing this--you have so much NZ and other various add-in's no one would even think you had a similar problem...But, I just worry about mine on certain weeks that I just cover SL.
Just thought I would ask!
My dear friend, reader19,
Personally I don't think you are violating any "SL sharing" laws .. you are just mentioning what you are reading each week in your home, with no defining details of the exact chapters in each book, as outlined in the IG.
You're not sharing the IG notes, questions, or maps.
Just a thought ....if someone was wanting to do things the SL way, without purchasing an IG, I'm sure there are easier ways to go about it than trawling through all those wonderful posts you create (LOVE them!!) about what you are doing in your HS week, alongside the SL books. (An older catalog gives that information very succinctly).
Sharing the exact (!!) details, as per the IG, would be a violation.
I'm not sure about sharing the SL week bit, and what you are reading in it. Again my thought is that without the IG, you are just a bunch of books you're reading each week.
If it continues to bother you, perhap pop over & ask Sonlight?
I think more than hindering a person from purchasing Sl your posts encourage one to purchase, & use Sonlight.
Your blog is very pro SL and is ongoing free advertising for them!!
Hope that helps in some way.
with much affection,
Chelle
Hi Chelle,
Thanks for leaving a message on my very neglected blog. I just don't have the head space for blogging right now. I guess 5 kids + one on the way are filling my days! We are expecting another boy, and I just realised the other day we will have teenage girls and toddler/pre-school boys at the same time :-s Well, many others have done it! I have been doing a lot of thinking about how to go about high school, how to get the older girls into uni easily if that's what they want to do. We're leaning towards sitting Cambridge exams at the moment, although I am also feeling the pull back to a more CM education, which I know I have been getting slack at ...any ideas?? I know yours are probably too young for you to be thinking about uni, but there are not many fellow CMrs who understand the difficulty of getting into NZ uni without the expected qualifications.
