cagirlintexas Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I am putting a large order in this summer. l have a budget going into next year but might not the year after so order a few extras. So far I am ordering Right Start C & D All About Spelling 4-6 already have 1-3 Writing with Ease - the whole program Story of the world audio books, activity books, text, 1-4 Explode the code A,B,C,1,2 for my younger son Already ordered the whole elementary series of Life Of Fred. As far as science I can't find something I love. We have McRuffy which actually is nice and I like but for some reason just doesn't get done. We do alot of lego robotics though so I am ordering more of that type of stuff. Anyway is there any other curriculum I am missing that I would love for the early years?

cagirlintexas Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Discover & Do Science dvds by Sonlight hey do you buy these dvd's with the supplies from sonlight? This might actually be what we need for science. I am so bad at science. We got Homeschool Art Studio for this year and we actually do art occasionally now. This might be what it woudl take to get science done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnG in Arizona Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 We seem to have similar tastes . . . so I'll recommend Nancy Larson Science: http://www.nancylarsonpublishers.com/ After researching this one quite a bit, I bought to do next year with my rising 1st and 2nd graders. Full disclosure - I haven't actually started yet, but the materials look fabulous. And my husband, who is a medical educator, was extremely impressed. HTH. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanyali Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Perhaps for some fun stuff I would through in: https://handsnhearts.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1 I think they are a great supplement for story of the world, especially since then you won't have to gather to much for the projects. I Would also pick and choose a couple of literature units from MBTP, I think they are great literature guides and are great for enrichment. http://www.movingbeyondthepage.com/purchase/languageArts.aspx?purchaseTab=Language%20Arts As for science I struggle with that one myself, but Nancy Larson Science & Elemental Science have intrigued me. No decisions for next year though...LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanyali Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Btw excuse my spelling, I didn't pay attention to the auto spell check...:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagirlintexas Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks! Going to check those out. I am bad at gathering stuff so anything that saves me time is awesome. I had considered Nancy Lawson last year and then didn't order it. Need to take another look at it. I am just bad at science and getting it done.
