twoxcell Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I have ordered some. So far I have HOD CTC, math for my 5 year old, and grammar for my oldest. I still need writing and math for my oldest, and some extras like artist and composer study. I already have everything for my 7 year old.

G5052 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Yes, I'm almost there. The fees for the paid classes are in, and I have about 80% of the books. One local class teacher hasn't provided the book list yet. And one of my paid gigs should be giving me the final check in a few weeks. So I'm hoping to get the final books in May and June. For two teens: Math: Saxon Algebra 1/2 and Saxon Advanced Math Science: DIVE Earth Science and DIVE Chemistry Hist/Lit: TBD and Omnibus Writing: Lost Tools of Writing and Various Industrial and Fine Arts: Drawing and Carpentry Latin: Wheelock's and AP materials (TBD) Misc: Piano, Health Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
againstthegrain Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I've made my lists and am slowly ordering things as they become available used. I won't buy new curriculum till mid-summer if I can't find his curriculum used. So far I've got his geography materials, RS4K prelevel biology materials (watching for prelevel 1 chem as well right now), his language/writing... watching for R&S Math 1 used and I will decide on his reading/phonics/spelling curriculum when we get closer to the school year since we are going to be doing a lot of phonics materials over the summer - and I am not positive what level I'll be ordering. I have been buying DD some preK materials as I'm working on re-doing the small classroom I have to have a better lay out for preK materials along wtith DS 1st grade materials.

jhschool Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 1. I 'm looking at Life of Fred Trigonometry, Trig Home Companion, Calculus, Statistics, Linear Algebra, and the Answer Keys for the last three. They are in my cart at Rainbow Resource--does that count? The two former are $45 and the three latter ones are $136 with the answer keys, which seems reasonable. 2. I am looking at The Teaching Company's Great Course: Physics And Our Universe: How It All Works. It's in my cart at TC, but it seems a little expensive: $149.95. It is a lot of lectures though--60 (60 thirty-minute lectures) so it's probably reasonable. 3. I am looking at The Teaching Company's Great Course: The Art and Craft of Mathematical Problem Solving. $69.95--I'm also balking at the price. It's 24 lectures though so a lot of info. 4. I have several Dover Thrift editions in my amazon shopping cart--Beowulf, The Odyssey,etc. We have access to those free on Gutenberg but sometimes it's nice to hold a book, and they are about $3 each. Haven't actually ordered any of this yet, but they are all under serious consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IEW SWI A Math: Teaching Textbooks 6 Science: Nancy Larson 4 History: SOTW 4 Foreign Language: LFC A The 9th graders things are on the High school board in a thread there about 9th grade plans.

Halfway through the year we will start her with mct island series. She will need ETC 4.5. I'm not sure what we'll do after ETC 4.5. Somewhere during the year we'll move to WWE2.

I still need to purchase math for dd12 and ds9, along with foreign language for both and a few extras for ds9's geography study. Dd5 is completely taken care of. Dd12 will be using Oak Meadow 6 for most of the year. We just started it and are on Week 6. She will also use Galore Park French or Spanish-still trying to decide. Ds9 is using Prima Latina, Cantering the Country, and Galloping the Globe. Both will do art & music studies that I found on Pinterest. Dd5 will use Oak Meadow Preschool, A Child's Seasonal Treasury, and the Wynstone's Kindergarten series-which we have been using this year already.

Continue Hake 5, buy next level later in the year. Also ordered IEW Ancient History theme book. History: K12 Human Odyssey, v. 1, along with IEW (above) and CTC World History Detective, all purchased. Science: Mr Q and CTC Science Detective, all purchased. Also have logic books and some of our literature. So I still need MCT Voyage, more literature, something for Spanish, and some odds and ends.

Saddlemomma Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 DD will be in 5th next year. I started ordering our curriculum in November because of a specific sale at one of the vendors. I just finished by ordering our Science and Math last week. Here's what we'll be doing: History: History Revealed: Romans, Revolutionaries, Reformers (Middle Ages to Reformation) w/MP's FMOMA integrated Literature: MP's Lit for Middle Ages, as well as about 15-20 other non-fiction and HF books of the period (too many to list) Bible: MP's Christian Studies Book III Writing: MP's CC-Fable Stage Grammar: R&S 6 w/Introductory Lessons in English Grammar by Maxwell Spelling: R&S 6 Latin: MP's Latina Christiana Math: Horizon's 5 Science: God's Design for Chemistry ( 2 books= Properties of Atoms & Molecules & Properties of Matter) Geography: MP's Geography I (The Middle East, North Africa, Europe) We are changing everything from previous years except for math. We had been using Christian Kids Explore series for science up to this point, but my dd says it's not in depth enough. I have a feeling nothing is in depth enough for her, but we'll try this new one and just supplement if we have to. I tried MOH this year for history, but again, dd complained it wasn't in depth enough. So after reviewing History Revealed and seeing that it is a chronological approach but with monthly units, I'm hoping this fits the bill. I've included MP's FMOMA to round out and add more depth to certain historical figures. DD absolutely loved the historical fiction books I chose for our Ancients study. We will have read 21 books by the time we're done (in 6 weeks). Therefore, I've chosen quite a few to add to the three required for MP's lit package. I'll have her do MP's lit guides, but the rest we'll read in a combination of read alouds and read alones for fun and just orally discuss the chapters as we read them. Latin was dd's choice. She has done 2 years of Spanish, but wanted to learn Latin instead. So, that's what we are going to do. (I had 5 years of Spanish, but Latin will be completely new for me too so we'll learn together.) Writing has been a toss up. Haven't liked many of the curriculum out there and I've tried a few. DD doesn't really like writing either. So I've chosen to try MP's Classical Composition to bring some structure to her writing and get back to basics. I was intrigued by IEW, but it was cost prohibitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Keep in mind -- there comes a time of year when EVERYONE is buying their curricula and materials for the upcoming school year, and so it takes much longer for your order to come in (so I've been told by homeschoolers). Ordering a few months in advance helps assure you will have your stuff when you want it. That said, I'm holding off on ordering stuff until latter May and over the summer for both planning and budgetary concerns. My kids are currently in private school, and we will start homeschooling after this school year ends. Our payment plan for tuition is monthly, with the last (smaller) payment due in May. Money is tight right now, and we simply can't afford to buy curricula until we are no longer paying tuition. Additionally, I'm still in the process of picking curricula and materials to order. I plan on doing some "homeschool lite" over the summer to ease into things (this is new to all of us here), but plan on being full steam around the time the schools here start in the fall. Therefore some materials I will need right away at the start of summer, and others I can hopefully order just a little later to help spread out the financial bite. It doesn't help that the big homeschool conference in our area (at least there is one in our area!) is in early August. I want to see the stuff "in person" before then! But we do have a good conference, from what I hear, and my DH says to plan on buying more than one curricula for certain subjects simply because there's no telling what will work for us until we start using it. Chomping at the bit, myself.... I want to START! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
