Default If you added in Time Travelers...

Did you get a lot of use out of them, even with all of the crafts WP already schedules? Is there one or two TTs you would pick to do out of all of them? I was leaning toward the Colonial one, but WP includes the Easy Make and Learn Colonial projects book. Plus, I have all of the American history related History Pockets. So I don't really need the TTs, just want to try one or two- which one would you pick?

I'm currently using the Colonial TT and it's so great! We are just doing the lapbook alongside AS1 so I'm not doing all of the projects on the CD. The lapbook covers a lot of the subjects in If You Lived in Colonial Times nicely. I'm so impressed with the lapbooks components. I also plan to use the other CD's alongside the rest of AS1 and AS2.

I am also curious about TT. They look so wonderful, but it's hard to know if they would be worth it. There are so many things for American history that can be added in, and then of course, the budget goes out the window!

The TT discs are wonderful. BUT they are really a complete (5 week or more) program to themselves. They are far too much to add into an already complete WP program. You could pick and choose, of course, but you may not feel that you get your $ worth that way.

Oh, I didn't realize that they were a complete program. Thanks for that info! Probably not a good idea for us, then.
