Hi,

My 3rd grader is using the Greek Myths materials this year, and I guess I had assumed we'd continue to work chronologically through things, using Famous Men of Greece next year.

But I look at the Curriculum Map in the newest Classical Teacher, and it shows Famous Men of Rome Course after the myths, followed by Middle Ages and by Greece.

So - two questions, I guess:

1) do you plan to put out student/teacher books for Famous Men of the Middle Ages and Famous Men of Greece? If so, it's no contest - I will certainly do the Rome course as it has the guides already.

2) Why do you recommend doing these in the order indicated on the "map"?

Thanks!!

I had the same question. If you read the catalog carefully, it says that Rome is more age-appropriate for beginners, so they choose to sacrifice order for timing. As to whether they will have another guide, I think it says that a FMOMA is coming out soon, not Greece, yet. But my memory may be off.
