Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda (what I wished we had used or for future use): Smarr Literature Guides Thinkwell/Larson/Chalkdust next year for Precalc and Physics? (w/a tutor as this nonmathy mom is not taking any chances) Vocabulary for the College Bound more PA Homeschool AP classes Latin - dh had 4 years Latin; ds always wanted to learn but was too busy with French!
