Lisa, thank you so much, you don't know how relieved I am to hear this. I have been talking to myself all day trying to figure out a way to get both with our curriculum budget and trying to get TT Geo. as well as a Biology course for my Hs.

I think we're just wanting to know if we can get by just using the SWI-C without buying the TWSS, i'd rather not have to buy them both because it's pretty exspensive to do so, if I can help it. Thanks for any answers.

bumped up for Stacy because i'd like to know the answer to this question as well. Thanks

for letting me know, i'm doing ok with my plans.

A Christmas Carol and trying hard not to read it.:o:o

Yes, 11, 10, 7 and K are the grades they will be in, sorry I wasn't clear on that. We're using TOG 3, this year. Does Chalkdust have a solutions manual with all the problems worked out? That's why i'm considering TT because of the solutions manual. Does Omnibus have a US history program? Thanks

Hi ladies, I haven't been here in a while, we added number 5 to our family in September and things went from hectic to extremely hectic and are just now settling down. I am so stressed right now because it's that season again, trying to decide what to do for the next school year. We've used TOG for the last two years and I do like the program, my HS DD absolutely adores it. I'm thinking of switching because I need something a little less time consuming, the problem with switching is that I don't know what to switch to and if it'll work for her. I'm at a loss for math and writing, i've been considering using Writing aids, but i'm also thinking that IEW maybe better for us/me because it will teach me how to teach them (I hope that made sense). I seriously have no ideas about what to use for math, we're using Lial's basic and Intro. to Algebra, but i'm not sure what to use for Geometry. I'm torn between TT, Chalkdust, Jacob's and Lial's. Also, I starte K with my 5yo in Jan. and he's doing great, we're just using the R&S preschool workbooks and leap frog math and word videos. I know he'll need something more for next year. Any advice you could offer would be great. I will have 11, 10, 7, and K next year, we are schooling year round.
