  1. I have not used this one, but I have used other books of this nature and loved them. It is a good supplemental material.
  2. Sorry, but I am new to homeschooling. What is ETC?:confused:
  3. And I just noticed that my sig line looks pretty bare without all the curriculum listed behinds each kid. :lol: Will have to work on that as we start.
  4. :coolgleamA: Ah. I see now. Pretty neat. Now I am going to have to read and comment a lot to work my way up the status line. :001_smile:
  5. Not sure if this is the correct area to post this but I am new to this forum. Under my user name is says "visiting". What does that mean? I also see Hive Bee and Queen Bee... and so forth. What does that mean? :001_huh: Thanks for any explanations to this. TIA! :001_smile:
  6. Thank you Jessica. :001_smile: I will look into those are books you mentioned. I will have to look at the planners too. I am nervous but excited to begin this journey. Rachel
  7. Thank you so much Nicole! I think we are one in the same. LOL When I was reading your review on the planner I just giggled. It sounded just like my thought process and what I look for and such. Planners with me is a love/hate relationship. :) I love using them and search the globe for the "perfect" one for me. I hate this b/c sometimes it can take me a very long time to commit to a planner (or curriculum for that matter). I always feel there is something else. I am praying through that. :001_smile: I am really stressing over this history thing and honestly, it is wearing me out. I am going to stop worrying and start praying specifically on this. And you know what... at the end of the day if I don't like the curriculum I picked then I am not set in stone. That is what I need to remember. I will not ruin my children for life if I pick a curriculum that I do not like. Just make the adjustments and move on. Easier said than done for my personality. I will keep looking for replies here. Oh, Nicole... any other curriculum you recommend in any subject? I was looking at your planner and I was seeing stuff I didn't think of (handwriting and such). Thanks again!!!
  8. Hello everyone. I will begin HS next year. I have 4 children (ds6, ds5, dd3, dd2). My sons are in a private school that teaches the classical approach. I want to continue that. I have been looking at choices for over a year and need a little help from y'all. :confused: Here is what I do know (I think I am sure on these.:lol:) Math: Math U See, Life of Fred, and supplement with Kumon Phonic/Spelling: All about Spelling, Dorbooks Science: AIMS at this time b/c of age of my kids, but any input is welcome here Grammar: need ideas here Art:? (would like something b/c my oldest loves art) Here is where I need help.:crying: I know I need to relax and i am sure I will once I start HS, but right now... well, you know. Okay. I like BiblioPlan and TOG. BUT TOG is overwhelming and although it looks good and I might revisit it later...I just can't take that on right now. Other mamas say to just use what you want, to break it down into smaller pieces, but I don't know how to do that. And honestly, I don't know if I want to know. LOL So BiblioPlan. I have read a lot of helpful threads here and thus led to more questions. Here they are? 1.) I see people saying they are using BiblioPlan with SOTW (is that correct... just learning what all the letters mean). What exactly are they doing with both? Is SOTW being used as a supplement to BiblioPlan? 2.) Do you like the Bible portion/lessons of BiblioPlan? 3.) What other subjects am I going to need to cover in HS ages 6, 5, 3 (not really schooling her yet...just doing a lot of play with her)? 4. What planners do you use? (hard copy or on computer) 5. I have seen HST+ on many threads. What is that? Thank you so much ladies!! I eagerly await your replies. :bigear:
