I am currently working through Kiselev. If it proves too much, I'll have the kids do Wentworth's First Steps in Geometry before trying Kiselev. The big appeal of Lial and Dolciani for us is that they're dirt cheap if bought used. I also like that Lial goes through precalculus. If we do Dolciani, we'll do Brown for precalculus, and I'll start looking for an inexpensive solutions manual (the textbook is about $3, but the teacher's manual is currently $72!). More digging is definitely required now. Thank you so much! You're a huge help!

Progressive exercises in English composition : Parker, Richard Green, 1798-1869 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive This curriculum starts very gently, simply having students use certain words in a sentence. It ends with essays. The program doesn't claim to follow the progymnasmata, but it is closer to it than the modern five-paragraph model, at least in my humble opinion. Anyway, I thought someone else might benefit from it as well.

Hands on Banking - Financial Education and Financial Literacy This program was mentioned earlier in the thread, but the link was broken.

I know money is tight for everyone right now, so I thought I would share some things about which people might not know. We read Logic by Richard F. Clarke in seventh and eighth grades, but I know some don't start formal logic until a bit later. Having not used Memoria Press, I can't say for certain it's the same, but I did compare the table of contents, and they look quite similar. It's available on archive.org for free. Logic : Clarke, Richard F. (Richard Frederick), 1839-1900 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive For ninth grade, we plan to use The Truth of Thought by William Poland. It's a book on material logic, and the table on contents lines up quite nicely with Memoria Press's. It is also on archive.org. The Truth Of Thought, Or, Material Logic: A Short Treatise On The Initial Philosophy, The Groundwork Necessary For The Consistent Pursuit Of Knowledge : Poland, William, 1848-1923 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Rhetoric is a bit trickier. Aristotle's Rhetoric is available at archive.org. There are several other books on rhetoric at 19th Century Schoolbooks | Digital Pitt Their rhetoric books are listed under "Elocution" here: 19th Century Schoolbooks | Digital Pitt Of these works, I'm most interested in Exercises in rhetorical reading by Richard Green Parker. I plan on working in some of the great speeches we have recordings of, such as I Have a Dream, Ask Not What Your Country Can Do for You But What You Can Do for Your Country, etc. My rhetoric plans are very much a work-in-progress. Sorry! Anyway, I know it's not much, but hopefully these books can help someone.

We started Latin back in fourth grade. Roughly, what we did was: 4th Grade - Getting Started with Latin 5th Grade - Keeping Going with Latin 6th Grade - Linney's Latin Class (which uses The First Year of Latin by Gunnison and Harley) 7th and 8th Grade - Caesar and review Right now, I'm penciling in high school, and I don't know what to do. 9th Grade - ?? I think some more grammar instruction is necessary, but I'm not sure what would pick up where Linney's stops. 10th Grade - ?? We might read some from the Vulgate Bible; I've read that it's easier than Aeneid, and it's only one translation from the original rather than two like the KJV. On the other hand, would we have covered the necessary grammar and vocabulary? 11th Grade - Aeneid (and some sort of prep for the AP Exam for at least one of the kids) 12th Grade - Metamorphosis by Ovid (If possible, it would be best if we could read the myth about Lycaon earlier. The kids are rabid for anything about werewolves right now.)

For K-6, we mostly used a math outline I found on here by @Hunter. We added a bit of hands-on geometry in elementary. For middle school, though, we did Wentworth's First Steps in Algebra and A First Step in Euclid by J.G. Bradshaw. I have a copy of Kiselev's I plan to have the kids work through for geometry, but I'm not sure of a good algebra course. Our internet will not support streaming, so online courses are not an option. I'm leaning towards Dolciani or Lial, but I'm not sure which I like better. I'm also not sure if Wentworth's was "enough" to be an algebra course or if it was more of a prealgebra course. Even though the programs are inexpensive, I would hate to spend money on a course we didn't need.
