Suzanne in ABQ Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I have my curricula listed in my signature block. What ages are your kiddos? Knowing their grade levels would help us know what to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smrtmama Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Here is my current curricula for my 4th grader. The curriculum I've really hated was IEW's Ancients History-based writing. I wrote a little bit about why I disliked it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closeacademy Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 What I am currently using and like: Math--Singapore and Rod and Staff Language arts, history, science, arts and music--Oak Meadow Latin--Lively Latin, Minimus Copywork--Copyscribe or happyscribe or something like that Spelling--Spell to Write and Read I also use lapbooks as my children find a topic they want to explore deeper and I use a lot of Waldorf and Montessori methods to enhance learning. I also use file-folder games. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I have a 12th, 10th and 8th grader - all boys. We use: English - Lightning Lit and Wordly Wise Science - Apologia + Teaching Company for Chem, + Glencoe for Bio History - Notgrass for the high schoolers, BJU Geography for 8th Math - TT for the younger, Chalkdust Calc for the oldest Health - Nutrition Action magazine Art - The History of Art Spanish - Rosetta Stone I'm happy with all my choices this year. We've also used Abeka for a more formal health course and I've been happy with that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesa Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 My kids are young I like a slew of things. Pretty much anything from SWB gets my vote. Honestly, its all good. Math: Math Mammoth, Math U See History: SOTW, Sonlight Science: Apologia, and anything we can get our hands on... SL, library, etc. Spelling: AAS Latin: LFC Writing: IEW Grammar: Abeka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 My current curriculum is in my signature line. In grades 1-4 I used First Language Lessons. I'm using SOTW in the first two cycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) You might try the curriculum board and I know you are trying to get your posts up so that you can sell things but the best way is really just to jump in and answer posts that are out there. Just start giving your opinion. You don't actually have to know what you are talking about. It certainly never stopped me from posting! :lol: God, I love wry wit! But I'll play anyhow, because it meets a need for me, too - the need to talk endlessly about curriculum! I currently use: dd7th grade Life of Fred Math History Odyssey Modern Level 2 Vocabulary from Classical Roots Apologia General Science One Year Adventure Novel Rosetta Stone French piano instruction literature selections self-directed art ds4th grade Math-U-See Epsilon History Odyssey Modern Level 1 Scholastic Vocabulary Sequential Spelling Writing With Ease Critical Thinking Co. Language Mechanics Noeo Science Biology II Latin for Children A literature selections Artistic Pursuits & Usborne Art Treasury piano instruction My favorite things right now are Noeo Science, LOF Math, HO, Scholastic vocab, Sequential Spelling, Language Mechanics, Latin for Children and Artistic Pursuits. I wish there was a Noeo Science at my dd's level - it is my favorite thing of all. It's open and go, it's just the right amount of work, I love the notebooking and it fits in nicely with classical.
