For All of the Skeptics...

Come on...
You know who you are....
It felt like Christmas had come early...
I came home from the soccer game to find two huge boxes on our porch...
Guess what we got...
Our curriculum for next year has arrived!


I am super excited about it! I know that the girls are going to freak out when they see all of these new books. I am excited about the literature and history. I have decided not to use Shurley English. It is a great program - I just do not like it. I have found it to be unnecessarily complicated. I'm not being critical if that's what you use...I just do not care for it. I am using Rod & Staff instead. Nothing fancy- it's just straight forward and gets the job done.

Math:

Good 'ol Saxon

Did I say that I am SUPER excited about all of this?

Latin:



And of course - the Reading...I L.O.V.E. these guides:



And really quickly- History. I never knew that I liked history so much until I started teaching my kids. To be able to tell the story of what happened and then discuss the results that followed - it is a blast.



I know that it is hard to understand if you do not home school, however, I am so happy that I get to do this!

Hi Tracey,

I totally get that you are super excited!! But I have to say it makes me sweat just looking at it. :) Guess that means I am not called to homeschooling... at least not yet! :)
