2012 Core G IG Errors:

  • Week 8 LA Activity Sheet - Transition chart missing from the activity sheet. Missing chart will be available on the Curriculum Updates page. (11.1.12)
  • Week 6 LA Activity Sheet - Exercise D instructs the student to compare and contrast the poem "A Musical Instrument" to the myth about Pan. There is no reference to direct the student to find the poem. It is found in Favorite Poems Old and New on page. 384. We will correct for next print run. (10.12.12)

Language Arts - Language Arts G is no longer available as a separate subject. It is integrated directly into the Core G IG.

Book defects, backorders, edition changes, etc.

  • The new Luther title, The Monk Who Shook the World has now been shipped to customers who ordered. We also included a hard copy of the schedule pages and notes for this title. The schedule is also available on our Curriculum Updates page. (8.14.12)
  • Luther: Biography of a Reformer (#GR16) is out of stock and no longer available. We have received reprint rights to our new Luther title, but it will not be available until early-mid July. The original title was not scheduled until weeks 32-33 in Core G. The new title will be similar in schedule. The web site has been updated to reflect this information. (6.4.12)

Beyond the Desert Gate (10.25.12)

Customers are questioning why we schedule Beyond the Desert Gate in Week 8, and Ides of April in Week 14, when Desert Gate is listed as a sequel to Ides.
Beyond the Desert Gate is a Read-Aloud (read *to* the student) and Ideas of April is a Reader (read *by* the student). Each title is correctly assigned in the appropriate time frame.
In Core G we are covering from the beginning of time to the Elizabethan Era, so the scheduled books will highlight the time era. In the Read-Alouds, we first read Golden Goblet (1486-1349 BC), then God King (701 BC), and then Beyond the Dessert Gate (70 AD). Because Read-Alouds take longer to work through, they need to cover longer sections of time.
In the Readers, students are reading a progression of titles from Mara (1458 BC), to Hittite Warrior (1200 BC), to Greek Myths (500-300 BC), to Theras and His Town (400 BC), to Archemides (287-212 BC), to Roman Ransom (52 BC), to Ides of April (62 AD).

Bible Notes for Core G (6.22.12)

In Cores F and G the IG Bible notes have separate notes for Parents and Students. This is a decision Sarita made based on the fact that there are Bible readings that children will read on their own at these two levels, as well as Bible readings the parent will read with the children. Not all the new Bible levels take this approach because not all of them have separate readings for the child, and for the parent and child to read together.
In the Core F IG we do include an assignment for Student Bible Reading on one line and Parent and Student Reading on another. This delineation was missed in the Core G IG.
So ... here is the solution that is currently underway ...
Since we need to explain to customers specifically how to use the Core G Bible program ... we will. . .

  • 1. Post a correction to the Curriculum Updates page
  • 2.Send out an email to customers who have already purchased the Core G IG
  • 3.And send out a printed letter that will be included with all new Core G packages leaving the warehouse

Here is the instruction we will be providing ...
On your weekly Schedule pages, under the Bible section, have your children read The International Children's Bible Field Guide on their own. When it's time to read the actual Bible passages in the Schedule, please read those selections aloud to your children.
There are many helpful Bible-related Notes each week after your Schedule pages. Some of these Notes are intended specifically for your children, while some are for you. These Bible Notes are marked in the Instructor's Guide as either "Parents" or "Students."

Master Cornhill - Why in Core G and not Core H? (6.27.12)

This book is set in a time period more appropriate to be covered in Core H, yet it is included in Core G. Per Sarita ... This was a choice I made. Because there were two great plagues (and this book highlights the later of the two), I felt it was close enough time-wise to carry the weight of both plagues--to give kids the sense of how life was during those experiences.
