Longtime CLE user here. Mennonites are born again evangelical Christians, 🙂 so there shouldn't be worrisome theology in there. They just hold to a very literal obedience, as evidence of being a Jesus follower. Also, I think the pages are laid out in such a clutter free, plenty of white space, format, that the lessons aren't as long as you'd think. Although I've really struggled with the desire to do something that looks more "fun". There truly isn't much out there as solid as CLE!

Just here to support anyone supporting CLE! We have used their math 100-600, Bible 500-600, and LTR. Next year, my youngest is using the math, LA, and reading. My oldest will be using CLE American History. My mom is hooked on the readers for my sisters.

We started BJU Press Writing and Grammar last year. It’s a solid program but my daughter and I really butt heads on the writing lessons. She doesn’t like the writing process. We’re going to do one more year, but if we have issues again I may try CLE Language for 4th grade. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Enjoy making all your curriculum decisions. Looking forward to your curriculum videos. ❤️

I am eagerly awaiting my MASSIVE CLE order from the Homeschool conference last week!!! Your videos were so influential in helping me pick which Units I wanted to start with. My oldest will do LA, Reading, and Math with CLE. My littlest guy is getting immersed in their Kinder and Reading Readiness programs. And my little 2nd grade struggling reader is going to stick with just their Learning to Read unit. And because CLE is so thorough, and she's already struggling, we're going to skip LA for her for a year and call it good. I have no worries about it bc I know when she is ready, CLE's LA program will be more than enough to fill in any gaps. Thank you for introducing me to this curriculum. I'm excited to work with it this coming year!

@@JaiBeesCrochet for our family, we prefer the simplicity of CLE over TGTB. The price is comparable, and they are both solid curricula. I love CLE because my boys are not as exhausted from the lessons and I have much less teaching to do, even with the kindergarten and first grade levels. They advanced so much this last year that we will use CLE again next year. We switched to CLE language arts and reading from TGTB language arts. Hope this helps.

We love CLE. We used Language Arts 400s this year for my 4th grader alongside TGTB. It is so solid and thorough. TGTB was more of our 'reinforcement' program. It can be a lot to remember, so next year we are doing IEW's Writing with Fix-It Grammar, paired with TGTB. CLE'S LA 500s we will save for 6th grade. It is such challenging grammar and very advanced. I feel like my son needs a year of maturity before we jump back into it. Even saving 500s for 6th grade doesn't make me feel like we'd be behind in the least!

I have been waiting for your curriculum reveals. 😂 I am curious as to why you aren’t using TGTB anymore. I have been going back and forth with my upcoming first grader and kindergartener between ordering the new TGTB LA or CLE LA. We do currently use CLE math and I love it. I was set on going with CLE until they released the new TGTB, now I’m conflicted. 😅
@ourthriftyhomeschool
@ourthriftyhomeschool 2 года назад
I was honestly torn. TGTB is a solid and beautiful curriculum. One reason for switching my younger ones is just to make sure they have that solid foundation from CLE that my older ones started with. I really love that and they need it! My older girls, I’m still deciding. The independence of CLE is very appealing especially after the difficult year we had. There are some subjects that I just don’t want them sitting around waiting for me for. But I’m still deciding. I’ll explain further once I make my final decisions! ❤️

I would LOVE your advice; I have done first language lessons and writing with ease with my kiddos from 1st grade up to now 3rd grade. I think it was gentle...gave a fantastic foundation of the basics...but IMO not very "fun", there were even some days I dreaded doing it with them. My oldest strongly dislikes it, second kiddo tolerates it but it is hard to keep her engaged, she's kinda a floating butterfly, daydreamer type
@ourthriftyhomeschool
@ourthriftyhomeschool Год назад
I love all of these ideas! You have it all compared so well with the pros and cons! I’m impressed! So the three I gave experience with are TGTB, CLE, and Fix it. I have some love for all 3. TGTB covered so much, which was great! It was beautiful! And it was solid…it covered everything it needed to. I loved all of that but I did eventually get to the point where I missed the straightforwardness of CLE…no fluff. I’m glad we’ve done both honestly! So this year I have two doing CLE and my older 2 doing fix it. I think I would do CLE up until 4th or 5th grade to give that real solid foundation and then go to FIX it…I love the ease of fix it , but they’re learning so much even though the lessons are short. The lessons for CLE are definitely longer…and so are TGTB. So I don’t know…they all have their pros and their cons like you stated. I think it just depends on what you want for your kids this year. I don’t know if that helped at all! But let me know why you decide! ❤️

I have tested my student who scored 115 in level 3 Language CLE. We have use ACE the last four years so we are on level 4 in that. Now, he passed the third level to go to the 4th level CLE, and he is so close in Language. Since you have experienced this, would it be best to put him in level 3 or since the 115 result was only 3 less than to pass to 4th level, that I go ahead and stretch to put him in 4th? He has been doing well, except in the 4th grade Abeka reading we have used.
@ourthriftyhomeschool
@ourthriftyhomeschool 5 месяцев назад
In my opinion, I would put him in 4th. I had to do that last year with one of mine bc we were coming from a different curriculum to CLE, so there were a few gaps, but it was close enough that I knew I could teach the things that the child didn't know and they would catch on and be just fine!
