Hedgehog Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Ok, this is partly my fault. I didn't make my curriculum choices soon enough, and it's a busy time of year for the resource companies. But it does seem that some deliveries have been particularly slow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I haven't even ordered the girls' math or ds's language arts yet, but we're still finishing up with some other stuff, so I'm okay with that. I'll be ordering within the next week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamee Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I haven't even ordered the girls' math or ds's language arts yet, but we're still finishing up with some other stuff, so I'm okay with that. I'll be ordering within the next week or two. Same here. Since we didn't start last year until second semester--when I pulled DS from PS--we're still finishing stuff up. I'll hopefully get math and grammar ordered in the next week or so. Otherwise, we're doing pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThelmaLou Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Yes!!! I'm waiting on an Electronics Components pack for my oldest ds (15) to begin an electronics course. It contains all 500 bajillion parts he needs to do his hands-on electronics experiments. It's been out of stock for a couple of months, but the company just notified me that they have a couple sets not listed on the website if I'll just fax them my order. Tried to fax it Friday and I kept getting a failure notice on my machine. AArgh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Raising my hand... I ordered ds's chemicals and lab book for Spectrum Chemistry on August 22nd. Hasn't shipped yet, though I've been promised it'll go out today. I'm so spoiled by Amazon Prime- when I have to wait for something it seems like a really long time. Then again, something ordered on August 22nd should have already shipped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Everything I ordered is here. I put in my last Rainbow order two weeks ago, paid for expedited with free shipping, and it came in a few days, just in time for school to start last week. :001_smile: We do 40 weeks of school, and I decided to schedule some of the "big" high school subjects for 36 weeks and stagger them. So I am just ordering everything for Biology this week, as we won't start for three more weeks. It took me this long to figure out what to do! :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Nope...but I got the last of it last week (and this is our 4th week of school! LOL). It was my fault, though, because I decided to switch back to Singapore math after the first week of school. Luckily, Carrie and Mike from HOD are super fast shippers and I got my purchase in no time flat. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Well I have all my curriculum, but no student. I sent him off with dh on a 3 week out of town project. We won't start until the 20th. Until then I'm trying to finish some self-education stuff, plan for an upcoming move, and NOT order any more books.

kewb Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Yes, I have a box from Rainbow Resource being delivered today with the last few things I ordered. Nothing like a few last minute decisions for adding in Vocabulary and Geography. I am okay with not having everything. We started last week with a light schedule because I knew I would not be getting a lot done this week with Rosh Hashana. Next week we will be at Colonial Williamsburg and then DC for a couple of days with my sister. When we return from our trip we will be leaping in with all subjects.

Parrothead Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I'll be ordering curriculum throughout the year so I won't have all my 2010-11 curriculum until May. Right now I'm waiting on some stuff I ordered from Amazon Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmom3tn Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Me...because I haven't ordered it yet...sigh.... Me, too. I've gotten a lot of our stuff - enough to get us started - but not all of it because I'm broke. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amey311 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I ordered yesterday and took advantage of the free trial of amazon prime to get things quicker. I still need to pay for a few things that are downloads, but I know what I'm getting. I've been feeling like a slacker mother because public school has been in session here for a month now. We went away for most of August, so we're not really that behind for US, but it's still so hard for me to mentally do things differently than the public school (although, to my credit, I'm doing things more on the calendar where I grew up than where I live, so it's more in tune with my internal calendar). I have plans for the boys for this week and need to see if I want to try using google calendar to do some longer range planning of our school year. I've started using it for hockey and it's growing on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoMom Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I changed my mind on doing geography this year and ordered history last week...it should arrive this week. I also added in an art course - that should be here today or tomorrow. Today is our first day, so there is no rush. Usually I have it all long before we start but, you know - things happen. Oh well! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleWonders Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I did have everything I needed, but then decided I wanted to do IEW's All Things Fun & Fascinating with the older two this year as a supplement to WWE. So, now I'm waiting for that to ship (hopefully by the end of the week - I wish more companies offered their books/curriculum as eBooks). Otherwise, though, we have what we need and I need to stop looking at curriculum. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntieM Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Me, too. Placed and received my large order only to discover that, while I had all the workbooks, CDs, etc, I forgot to order the actual text. So, one more week til adding math. Got the other subjects started, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosaicmind Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I am waiting on my student loan to get the rest of my materials, which should be Friday (I hope). I still haven't decided whether we will actually do foreign language or not and whether to add geography into the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Science for ds isn't here yet, but I ordered it in July. I'm a wee bit upset that they didn't bother to e-mail out the shipping delay notification for weeks:blink:. Scratch that, I'm almost ready to cancel, but ds really wants to use their program.

stephanier.1765 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I have been exceptionally lucky this year. I too made my decisions late (well late for me). I did most of my ordering in July and bits and pieces in August. All of it was mailed the next day or the second day after I placed my order. This weekend I placed another order at Analytical Grammar for their research paper curriculum and got the notice of shipment for today. Very, very impressed. I didn't go through Rainbow Resource or any other big store for anything though so that might have made the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dm379 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Yes. I've been waiting for more than 3 months for some things. Hate, hate, hate APO sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganClassicalPrep Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Yup. Waiting for a big order from Rainbow Resource and Singapore. Everything has been trickling in over the last 2 weeks. Still need to order Intro to Science from Elemental Science and the HIG for 1A from Singapore. Unfortunately I only have enough money for one or the other.... but I have all the additional books I'm going to need for both programs.... :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimm Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I thought I was going to put together my own spelling curriculum. How hard could it be? I'd just pull words out of history and WWE stories and use those. Well, that lasted for one week, the next two weeks we didn't do spelling and I ordered something... I don't even remember what. I came on here and did a search for spelling curriculum and picked something several people said nice things about. Mighty words or Mega words or something? I know that's hardly the best way to pick a curriculum but I'm hoping it'll work out in the end. I'm not particularly passionate about teaching spelling so I'm sure I can adapt it to fit our needs even if it's not perfect. Edit: Oh and someone posted a link to a Sonlight timeline book. I had kind of dismissed doing a timeline this year (just too overwhelmed) but I ordered the book and we'll go back and plug things in for the first few weeks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leighp Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I'm still waiting on a bunch of stuff ordered August 7th. Must order in April for next year. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindyg Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Yes, me. I ordered ours on August 19; nothing is here yet. I'm not complaining. We just finished "last year" less than a week ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
