myfunnybunch Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Not buying, no. But I will be "shopping" the overflow shelf. You know, the shelf that's got the cool stuff you couldn't resist, but didn't have time for? (Wait...maybe that's just me. Someone please tell me I'm not the only one.) I've started using those books for term-long interest-based unit studies. Ds10 and ds8 are finishing a Geology/Rocks study. I think they want to do a construction and engineering unit, and we've got plenty of books on that topic! Ds 13 wants to do a Shakespeare study, and I think we've got plenty of study material there too. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lea_lpz Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Placed half my order through our charter school for the 2014-2015 and I have finished making the other half of the list to place in early August. I have about $250 out of pocket to spend or so for things that are not covered by the Charter school. Not sure when I will place that order....probably when I have some money in my pockets, lol. Possibly in January. Our curriculum next year includes: Both: HWOT Singapore Math La Clase Divertida Level III K'er: MFW K FIAR 2nd Grader: MFW Adventures Portraits of American Girlhood Primary Language Lessons Spelling by Sound and Structure Come Look with Me: Early America and Native American Art Some state study extras-sticker book, puzzle, placemats, and Scrambled States of America game I am planing to sort of pick and chose to make or k & 2nd grade curriculum. We will use ADV history as our spine and their Bible, music, art and possibly pick and pull from science, but will be using Portraits of American Girlhood for our literature, crafts, baking, science and extra language arts as well as work on an AHG badge that corresponds with each of the 7 girls for my 2nd grader with ds tagging along. For K we will use the mfw k Bible, math and Lang. We will probably toss in some FIAR where it fits, such as books based on US history or books that fit with mfw k units. We did mfw k with dd and ds, then 3, participated in everything but worksheets / seat work, so want to give it a bit of a different feel :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladydusk Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I already had SOTW 3 to start, but bought on Cyber Monday - MP3s and student pages so I can make copies. (I meant to buy the downloads, but this will work too) I bought Writing and Rhetoric Fable from CAP, too. We'll keep using WWE. We're going to do weather first in science, then move to Chemistry, so I'm looking at Chemistry programs. I can't face God's Design much longer, it's so dull. I'll have a 3rd, 2nd, and 1st grader. Logos Press has NOEO on sale right now, but I'm not sure I want to go that way. I'm seriously considering Elemental Science and Ellen McHenry's Chemistry. [sigh] Why is science so hard? Finally, I am starting to think about Narnia and what we're going to do with it. I'm waiting on Christmas to see what I get ... we don't start until partway through January.

Miss Marple Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I am buying textbooks for ds's last semester of dual enrollment at our local university. I *need* to clean the shelves and dispose of many years worth of curriculum. I just cannot seem to get around to it. Selling online has become a bit of a nightmare and posting on the WTM for sale boards is troublesome (at least for me). I do miss the excitement of planning the next year for the boys :) I loved scouring the catalogs, esp. Veritas Press, even if I didn't order much from them.

TGHEALTHYMOM Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 OK I did buy AOPS Pre-Algebra and Dolciani Pre-Algebra (Older edition). I have been watching the Alcumus videos while waiting on the books. Learning Language Through Literature just arrived and I am getting ready to implement it next Monday. I have too wide a range to teach Reading from OGPTR... and a struggling Reader, so I am going to print out the first chapter of Reading Lessons Through Literature and see if I can use it with 3 dc at the same time. I did just buy CAP Writing to go along with WWE for ds 11 I am switching from Apologia Biology to Anatomy to work with all dc on same science since the co-op class did not work out. Already had TC dvd set to use along with Elementary Anatomy and Audible had the HS level of Anatomy too. It was difficult but I did an Amazon trade in on some valuable books. One I got free went for over $50 so that helped alot. And I have an obscene amount of pdf books and workbook pages to print out so I need to order ink. This brings me to my dilemma..... do I really need a binding machine? I hate to even drop $70 on a Pro-Click if I don't really need it. I would love any input on this. ( Keep in mind I have some books that will be over 100 pages but can divide into more than one book if necessary.) I have the Amazon store credit to get this but not much left over after that unless I sell some more valuable books.... I am at a loss.. they don't take just any book and some I consider valuable they only give about $1 for!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairProspects Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 We're starting some hands-on chemistry with Supercharged Science and the Thames & Kosmos 3000 kit. I'm slightly afraid.

Aurelia Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Buying, no, but we have the next level of math to start in January (I'm sure you can imagine DD's enthusiasm). Maybe I'll be brave enough to restart Latin again, then. Oh, and guitar lessons. DD is super excited about that. I bought Mapping the World with Art, but after reading through it, I think I'll hold onto it for a year or two. The "scratch and dent" copy of the book is actually in pretty good condition, and it was super cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also thinking about picking up CW Homer to start getting myself ready to teach it in June, which is when our fifth grade year starts. First Form is SO much better, IMO. :coolgleamA: We're done with certain things for the year (Logic was one semester, Earth Science for the youngers will be done soon). So, we'll move onto Astronomy in Science and I'm thinking of dropping Writing Tales 1 until the summer when I have time to focus on it with dd#2. It just keeps slipping to the last thing of the day.

I'm not a fan of 8/7, so we shall see. I briefly looked at AoPS. I need to go back and look in more detail. DS has 10 more lessons in Saxon 7/6 so I need to figure it out.

Julie Smith Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I hopefully will be starting Galore Park French. You see I have super powers. I ordered the book and audio from amazon.ca. I got the book, but the audio CD went out of stock. So I ordered the audio CD from chapters. It then went out of stock. I ordered it from some place someone here recommeneded. I forget it now. Well I tired to order it - out of stock. Someone recommended a different place. Also out of stock. Well it showed up at amazon. And I ordered it with some stuff I got for my Mom. In theory it is in the mail and should arrive in a week. Eldest will be starting a new Singapore math book as soon as he gets better with long division.

fractalgal Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 The only new thing we're starting is KidCoder Visual Basic Series for my 6th grade son. He just finished his Scratch programming book which he started last year. Homeschool Programming had a sale going on on Black Friday, so I'm glad I waited. Another thing we're starting which I already own is Philosophy for Kids. It looks interesting, and my kids seem excited about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
