2009 Core 4 IG Errors/ Package Errors:

    • Jan Matzeliger - is found on page 41 of the History Study Guide
    • Nicholas II (1868-1918) ... The World Wars "Riots and Rebels" pp. 90-91
    • Treaty of Versailles (June 28, 1919) ... The World Wars "Coming to terms" pp. 108-109

Updates will be posted on the web site. (9.15.09)

  • History Study Guide - pg. 56. Answers to Roman numeral III #7 and #8 are switched. #7 should be T and #8 should be F. (5.5.09)
  • A Letter to Mrs. Roosevelt (4H02) was missing from the 4-Day Read-Aloud package (4A4). Currently it is in the 5-Day History package (4H5). But if you are following the Four-Day Schedule, this book is a Read-Aloud. So we added it to the 4-Day Read-Aloud Package (4A4).
    • We have pulled a list of customers who purchased either Core 4 Four-Day Schedule (4C4) or 4A4 + 4TB (Read Aloud package and IG). We will be sending them a letter of explanation along with the book, A Letter to Mrs. Roosevelt (4H02), at no charge to them. This is a total of 60 customers.
    • The price of the Core Package (4C4) will remain the same until 7/1.
    • The price for just the 4-Day Read-Aloud package (4A4) will increase, by $5.50 to include the book.

Book defects, backorders, edition changes, etc.

  • Shoes for Everyone has been returned to Core 4 for 2009
  • Simon Bolivar: The Liberator new to Core for 2009 (replaces OOP book from 2008)
