Momof2kids Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 My eldest is going into 6th grade and I have everything planned out through 8th grade. :hurray: So now I want to start reseaching high school at home. I have searched around for books to help me but there don't seem to be many. The only one I currently have is High School @ Home. Thanks!!
