So..... I'm Tami - from PA (original - I know). I'm 36 and I've been married to my awesome hubby for over 15 years. We have two boys who are 14 (going into 9th grade) and 12 (going into 7th grade); they consider it their full-time job to eat all day, every day. I've always homeschooled them. My oldest has a December b-day - which meant he wasn't allowed to start kindergarten until the next school year, but he was more than ready. I started doing workbooks with him at home and then just never stopped! We'll be using Apologia Biology, Chalk Dust Algebra II, Notgrass World History, Wordly Wise - plus a bunch of other stuff, because I'm nothing if not a curriculum junkie - for 9th grade. I don't have all of the 7th grade curriculum hammered out yet, but, so far, we have A Beka Science, Easy Grammar, Vocabu-Lit/Vocab. from Classical Roots, World Geography workbook, and we'll continue to cover American History by reading books. I'm searching for a good math program......... We used A Beka Basic Math & Key to Algebra books 1-5 last year. I've been lurking at this site for quite some time. I hate wearing shoes, I love to read, I'm a black-recommended belt in taekwondo, and I love to laugh :) Nice to meet you all!
