The HerdKeeper

I cannot believe the school year is coming to an end. We did not accomplish everything I wanted but I trust we accomplished what we needed. I missed all of the homeschool curriculum fairs this year because of time constraints. This is the first time in 15 years that I have missed a curriculum fair. 15 years ago I had my son so I was a little too busy to go. Top on my wish list this year is Rosetta Stone Spanish. So this year for math I need Math U See Algebra I - three books - have one book Math U See Epsilon - one book - check Math U See Gamma - one book Math U See Alpha - two books My 3 high schoolers will be doubling up on math this year they are also taking a consumer math class at a co op. I am still pondering Language Arts I think we will be doing IEW for late elementary and maybe Easy Grammar for the actual grammar I really want All About Spelling - to round this out. I have IEW and Easy Grammar. Of course Literature will be some good solid historical fiction to go with ...
