I can, however, tell you how much a part of our schooling form drawing is. I'm astonished at his progression Wed, 06 Jan 2010 19:23:31 GMT tanya_blumenfeld@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/351 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/351 Hi Carol! We also used oak meadow for first grade and switched to christopherus for second and we love it! The form drawing book is a must if you ask me.

(I'm using Donna's first grade with my 3rd now.) I remember learning a little about form drawing from Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:56:27 GMT Grace http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/349 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/349 Hi Carol, I think you'll really like the Christopherus Second Grade curriculum -- we love it! As far as form drawing goes, it is really different from any Tue, 05 Jan 2010 19:30:01 GMT c.williams97 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/348 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/348 Hi everyone... We are currently using Oak Meadow First Grade but plan on using Christopherus 2nd grade curriculum next year.. We have minimal experience w/ Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:31:03 GMT Grace http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/347 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/347 I meant to respond to this thread when it first went around, but I thought I would at least respond now. The idea of the 11 pillars didn't resonate for me, so Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:11:58 GMT Stacy Holden http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/346 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/346 Thank you, Karen! It does help. And his inner work is tremendous. He's one of those amazing kids who sees auras around living things, feels the energy Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:03:32 GMT karen http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/345 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/345 My son was exactly the same. It took him FOREVER to get any copy work done. He was always very easily distracted, often doodling or just day dreaming or Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:38:14 GMT Stacy Holden http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/344 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/344 Does anyone else have an excessively dreamy 8 1/2 year old? We're doing 2nd grade right now and sometimes it takes all morning to just finish the main lesson. Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:58:08 GMT Charity http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/343 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/343 Thanks for the idea. I'll save that for next year.

I looked at it once before a few years ago. At the time I don't think I was ready to take on such a challenge. But now Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:56:02 GMT oksanaklatimer http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/339 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/339 Anybody had a copy right issues with her, like getting a copy instead of the used material? Please, contact me off list. Thanks. Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:29:19 GMT dnw826 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/338 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/christopherushs/message/338 Thanks!
