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 our History using Teaching the Classics by Adam and Missy Adams
I am totally unsure what I will dig up for my high schoolers
History/Music/Art/Health
For my elementary crowd KONOS for sure!!
For my high schoolers, I just do not know
Science
Apologia for the elementary crowd
Biology at a co op for my high schoolers
PE
Rebekah - cheerleading
Donny - football
Annah - soccer
Ben - ??
Josiah - baseball
Melaina - ??
Noah - ??
and for the most important subject of all ::::: drum roll please::::::::
Precept Upon Precept
I think we will do Sermon on the Mount.
Fleshing this all out in black and white has been helpful. I want to do it ALL but can't.

It was so nice to have met you last night. I told my husband that if it wasn't for the kids, I could have sat for another hour hearing what you had to share about KONOS and homeschooling. The more I think about the cirriculum, the more I want to use it. But as I sat looking at their website and sharing with my husband what it looked like, he pointed out something I wasn't aware of.. the cirriculum doesn't have the 2 key subjects needed in early elementary which is reading/phonics and math. Now I see you do Math U See but what do you do for reading? Did I miss it on your schedule post? I'd love to find something similar to KONOS for both these subjects, any suggestions? Thanks again for your input! I look forward to chatting with you again!
