kristinannie Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I had already purchased math and reading, but today I bought everything else I need for HSing DS5 starting in mid-June (except for my German program which I am going to hold off on until we get a groove going)! It is such a relief to finally have final decisions made in all subjects. Now the true test is to stay away from these boards because then I will second guess every decision when I learn about another awesome program! :lol::lol::lol: It feels so great to be ready to go. I will be getting everything in the next couple of weeks so I have plenty of time to go over everything and organize it before we start school! Thanks to everyone for all of the advice for this newbie! I never could have figured out what to use without you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakereese Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 :hurray::hurray: Good for you! Isn't it a great feeling?! And you are right...stay away from the boards now, at least the curriculum board. Because you will be tempted to get other things which you do NOT need. :lol::lol: Ask me how I know. :glare: Enjoy your boxes of fun when they arrive. I LOVE getting those packages. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki06 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Ha! That's great advice. I bought a good chunk for fall but hearing others' opinions has already made me second guess. It's my 1st time homeschooling so I have to get experience somehow, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RecumbentHeart Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yay! Stay strong in your choices for the year - you can come back and get all excited about new stuff next year! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnMomof7 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yay! Stay away from these boards for at least a year now! LOL! Or not, especially if you need to sub something out ;). We are ALMOST done for next year! Just a few odds and ends/supplies to pick up I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PentecostalMom Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yay! Stay strong in your choices for the year - you can come back and get all excited about new stuff next year! :p :iagree: Stick it out the full year unless something is a complete failure. Then revisit for next year. I don't have everything yet, but dh and I have made final decisions, YAY! Just finished mapping out our budget for the remaining stuff we need.

kristinannie Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 KIKUS is the German program I am doing. I sent you a PM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristinannie Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 I think I know what I want...haven't ordered anything yet. Scared to.... :) You are in exactly the same boat as me (although my son turned one last week). Best of luck in this HS journey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collinsmom1 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I am so doing a happy dance for you! At the same time I am extremely green with envy! I know most of what we will be doing, but need to order and make final choices! Good luck and have fun!! It is amazing when a year or two down the road, you realize... I taught them that!! :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to everyone for all of the advice for this newbie! I never could have figured out what to use without you! Great Job! I'm so jealous, I want sooo badly to just splurge and order everything now! I have started piecing things together, and should have it all by mid-summer. I know that grass is always greener feeling and the temptation to switch programs. If you like what you are doing and it's working, don't give in. I did some of that the 1st few years, and it's not worth all the expense (I too have to stay away from the boards - lol). Happy planning, I sooo can't wait to get to that stage. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon in TN Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 KIKUS is the German program I am doing. I sent you a PM! Could you send me a PM, too? I'm just starting to look into German for my dd (rising 4th grader) and would love more info. The link you posted was in all German :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Robyn Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 How exciting! I'm jealous too. I know what I want and I have bought some of it, but I still have some buying to do. I'm anxious to get it all so I can start organizing it! Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIS0320 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi there! I am planning first grade and I've followed some of your interest in Kolbe. Have you decided to not use Kolbe next year? I'm still wavering and can't decide. I checked out Seton, CHC and Angelicum as well and CHC looks good but a little light (may use for religion) and I'm sort of afraid to say it but Seton almost looks too Catholic as every single book/resource is published by them and somehow that gives me pause. Anyway, I would love to share thoughts on Kolbe. We are also using McRuffy Color Math and Miquon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
