harnita24 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 So I know a lot of you have been in this same situation. There is too much to choose from and I am feeling overwhelmed!! Let me tell you a little about us and maybe you can point me in the direction you think might fit our needs. I have 2 girls - 9 1/2 and 8. We have been doing a lot of curriculum we got from the school district and it is very workbook centric and not very inspiring. I like things to be very organized and I don't mind planning but I don't want to spend my whole life doing it either. I love the idea of reading real books. Right now we are doing singapore for math. Which I will stick with. We also do WWE and SOTW. What I am really looking for is a language arts program and a good science. I would really like someting laid out for me, something that incorporates a lot of reading and writing. Something inspiring and not too textbooky (is that a wiord??) I love the Charlotte Mason method. So any sugestions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Here I go again with my IEW :lol: But for you especially with an 8 and 9 year olds you could combine them. As far as a complete language arts, I use IEW, AAS, and a list of books I want to use over the year. ETA: And MCT for grammer Edited October 15, 2012 by 425lisamarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NittanyJen Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Have you looked at NOEO science? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 For science, your perspective probably matters a lot. Secular or not secular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harnita24 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 I haven't looked at NOEO for science. I haven't used anything but what I ahve gotten from the district. i would like to do something with experiments included - but nothing too hard for me ! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
