misidawnrn Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I have switched everything over this year to A Beka for a few reasons 1. DD likes colorful 2. I like ease 3. I started back to school in January for my BSN, working toward my Masters in Nursing/CNM and I really need the stuff all planned out since I am not giving up homeschooling AND I work 24 hours a week. So, I will be doing A Beka next year for 2nd as well. I just got the last of the books. I think I will also be adding in MOH for history since A Beka really just focuses on the US and I want more. This year we are supplementing with MM for math so we may do that next year, too. I was going to school year round but I think this summer (and probably the next few) it will be just worksheets, extras and IPad to keep her skills up.

History: TruthQuest American History for Young Students Level I Science: I'm thinking about Christian Liberty Press's science book for 2nd grade and putting off Apologia for her one more year. Latin: Song School Latin Math: I really am pleased with the BJU worktext so will probably continue with book 2. But I'm looking at the Rod & Staff series also. I don't know if I'm insane enough to do 2 math books. I'm drawn to R&S's focus on getting the basic arithmetic facts down but I do like that BJU has a smattering of all kinds of fun math concepts and not just basic facts. Bible: not sure yet.
