Runningmom80 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Not yet. I'm still trying to nail down a couple of subjects. I'm aiming to start our new school year in June or July, so I want to get my act together soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 :001_tt2: Nope. I am waiting on the $$$...and changing my mind 20x in the wait. My ideal is no where near realistic.:001_huh: It's a good thing I'm doing some forced waiting, and forced reflecting, before purchasing. I spent a couple hours this afternoon going through this years stuff in preparation for making up their portfolios. Now I'm REALLY itching get working on stuff for the summer/fall.

alisoncooks Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I have all my stuff ordered. :party: I've had all my main subjects for a month or so now, but I've been ordering extras and fun stuff and more books. (And more books and more books and more books. :tongue_smilie:) I'm officially cutting myself off. AND I have almost all of my preschool stuff printed out for youngest DD and filed away.

TT levels 3 and 7 and still not sure if I am doing OM math for 1st or not. He has lots of math sense so I think he needs more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 YES! So excited. We will be studying middle ages and astronomy and my dd will start Kinder!

nukeswife Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Nope, I'm waffling on history for next year and have no clue what we'll do for science since the company I was using hasn't put out anything new.

MiztrezzLyn Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I have everything purchased for 2nd grade. Some preliminary planning put into HST but not quite finished with that. Mostly its continuing to use the next thing in the programs I'm currently using. One new thing is CW Primer, we're excited to start that. We school year round and we'll be starting the new school year in early July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengjohnson Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 NO! I'm still making decisions. One week I think I'm done, the next week I change and need to look at other things. There's no way I could order yet, but our new year begins in July so I can't wait forever. I did finally make a decision on algebra though b/c dd will start it in 2 weeks. Can't wait to be done with the searching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stm4him Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I've made all my decisions and we finally have some money coming in so this coming week I'm signing them up for self-paced and ordering a few things for summer from VP. Then after we get paid again mid month I'm going to order the rest of their summer stuff. I've already printed out my shopping carts! At the end of the month there is a curriculum fair and hopefully I can pick up a lot of things there to save on shipping. In July I pay their CC tuition and will buy whatever is still needed for the fall. I just hope I have enough left over for things like videos from NEST (LOVED the OT collection I bought last summer) and YWAM (about missionaries) and Vision Forum as well as history books from Veritas Press. I've probably spent less than $300 since November ($170 of which was recent for LOE) and it's been killing me! I'm sooo excited to get new stuff. I have a ton of stuff to sell and I found out there is a place within two hours of me that I can drive to and consign most of it at one time so I'm hoping to do that soon and make some money back from previous years. Oh, and today I ordered my CC guide and a set of the new timeline cards and saved $40 so I'll be so excited to receive those before the end of this month as well!! Woo hoo!

Kathryn Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Not only all ordered, but everything in hand except Telling God's Story and some books for TOG and Elemental Science. Plus I've already made my schedule and list, by week, of supplies and library books I'll need. I just need to get some more ink for my printer to print everything out and I'm ready!

tuckabella Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I have most of it. I still need Teach Me Joy's Cursive and likely the copywork that goes with it. Oh yeah, and CLE Math workbooks 301-305 and 101-105. Not sure if I will pay for a subscription to Reading Eggs since out free time will expire in two weeks. It really has helped DD.

wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Well I thought I was done!

Amy, I'm skipping from the first page before I forget that I was going to answer, so apologies if someone has already made this suggestion. German in 10 Minutes A Day (about $40 on Rainbow Resource) would give them enough German to get by immediately. Otherwise, there is a German basics cd set that I picked up at Amazon for about $10 that lays a good foundation. I don't see the exact one we bought but this page has a couple that look ok. I like the look of the Dummies series one. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=german+cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassoonaroo Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Not even started! Our three oldest are on a Science Olympiad team and that is consuming us right now. Our high school team won the regional competition and the middle school team was off by three (out of hundreds of points) -- so they were a close second. This MIGHT be the year we can go to Nationals (in Orlando!). The competition at the state contest 3 weeks from today will be grueling. So, curriculum? I'll think about that later. Until then I am busy trying to learn things about microbes, aquifers, physics of sound, Fermi ("back of the envelope") questions, etc. That's all I do...

I think I've got enough to get through the next couple of years, at least. I'm sorta-kinda addicted to beautiful, good books. :blushing:) Technically, I could do science for next year with what I've got, too, but Ariel just about fell over with excitement when she saw the equine science program from WP, so I think we'll be doing that. We may have art already, depending on how far we get through MTM this year. So far, it's April and we're on lesson 2.
