Sue G in PA Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'm trying not to count my chickens before they are hatched, but also trying to be prepared. Dd12 confided in me tonight that she wants to come home and be homeschooled again. She is not liking ps. While I told her she needed to give it more time (can you believe I actually said that? :001_huh:) and we'd talk about it in a week...I want to be prepared at least on paper if she does still want to come home (and dh approves). Last year dd12 did Saxon Math 8/7 (mostly complete...few more lessons to go), LL7 (did not finish and we have since sold it), LLATL Green, VfCR A (did not finish...still have it), MFW ECC (again, did not finish but have since sold). She has expressed interest in Ancient History (biblical times) and I do still have Diana Waring's curriculum we can use (and she can be somewhat independent). My thoughts for this year (should she come home) are: Finish Saxon 8/7 and move to Saxon Alg. 1 Diana Waring Ancient Civ. and the Bible VfCR A and B Auralog's Tell Me More Spanish I need an English (grammar or all in one) like LLATL again, writing, Science (would CKE Earth and Space work for her?), literature (not sure about LL8). So, would you share what your 7th or 8th grader is doing this year (dd12 could technically be considered 7th b/c of her age)? I just want an idea of what others are doing so we don't miss something. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
