heidirenata Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I was just reading the homeschool budget thread concerning cutting back, but I was wondering what's on everyone's wish-we-had-the-funds-wishlist? What homeschool purchase are you saving for or simply dreaming about? I decided to make a wish list for our bonus money this year and curious what others are dreaming about.

happypamama Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Right now, I'm pretty happy with the books/curricula I have, and there are only a few cases where being able to spend more money might be helpful, if those. A bigger budget would mean more classes, lessons, field trips, and enrichment experiences, and I do dream of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Spelling Plus and Dictation Resource Book, and Easy Writing for sentence composition. I've become as obsessed with sentence composition as I am with phonics. I don't know which one I want most, and I cannot buy both, so I didn't buy either one. And now maybe the pencil sharpener :tongue_smilie: Has anyone tried it on colored pencils? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrunchyGirl Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Not a money issue but more of a logistics issue. We are moving to SD this fall and I'm hoping that we can somehow manage to find a part time nanny (we are both self-employed) who is a native Spanish speaker. Given that it's SD I'm worried that this will be a tall order :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
