No I don't. The school districts in our area do not either so I think it depends on where you live.:001_smile:

Calvert 8 is a huge success this year!

In the past, I have used a word document with a table to make weekly list for each kid. Then they could cross things off. It does take a bit of time but also allows the kids to work on independently when I am tied up.

Just the book - not the guide - around 13 years old.:001_smile:

What great ideas!

I thought the DVDs helped a ton - also online classes can be a bit help but are expensive.:001_smile:

We like butter.:)

We personally found high school at home expensive when you factored in online, cc classes, and books.

:grouphug: hey in Kindergarten if they learn phonics, a bit of math and learn that books are fun then you have done your job. I have gone through phases of planning and so far am doing this well with Calvert because I just couldn't get my act together for 8th grade for child number 3. Guess what - it is going well and I love, love, love having everything pulled together. I am also past worrying that there is something better out there because I am sure there is - but just don't care!!!!!!!!! Your kids will be fine! All mine have turned out well-educated but totally different from each other . . . and are relatively happy at this point in time.:001_smile:

Yeah!:party:

Our house is just the right size!

I would have concerns about having the new foster child share a bedroom with one of your children. That is sort of placing your child in a mature situation.

I think the Golden Children's Bible might be a good place to start.
