Sometimes it’s easier to see how a single subject will progress through out your student’s homeschooling career if it’s all on one page. Each sequence page contains all the threads of a single subject K-12.
Also noted are books and other media that might deepen or expand the experience. You don’t need to use them at all and you definitely don’t need to use them all. They are good for reinforcing concepts, introducing new things, and just bring a little more joy to a subject. Expansion books are placed loosely by grade. We tried to limit ourselves to a handful, just so you don’t get bogged down trying to decide. Please feel free to use them whenever they would be most helpful to your particular student.
