Mary Ward is the author and she relies heavily on using your public library for teaching resources. Another resource to look at is the Little, Brown Paper Bag School House series. There will be something there to meet a need for every child. Check them out of your library before you invest in them. Some of the titles are: The Book of Think, I am not a short adult, Gee Wiz (mixing art and science), I hate Mathematics, Math for smarty pants, It's about time, Beastly Neighbors, there is even one about personal history and genealogy. I used these a lot for supplementing my children's public education (gasp!--but I wasn't the one in charge of making those decisions, sigh)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18347670233081879979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-559345894667319825.post-44149277949952366052007-08-21T11:54:00.000-07:002007-08-21T11:54:00.000-07:00Our kids LOVED Beautiful Feet Books!

I'll have to look into some of this.

It's definitely a commitment and keeps us busy. I usually get carried away with ideas for teaching and end up busier than the kids (well, practically). This year I convinced (begged and pleaded) dh to come and teach a programming class. I'm so excited!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your curriculum.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.edgren.com/wordpress/" REL="nofollow">Duckabush Blog</A>Kathy in WAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214274261673123725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-559345894667319825.post-76863042146035138232007-08-19T21:38:00.000-07:002007-08-19T21:38:00.000-07:00Reading through your blog makes me miss homeschool...Reading through your blog makes me miss homeschooling SO much. We put Keilani in the church school, which uses ALpha and Omega, in January. This will be the first beginning of the year that I didn't get things ready for homeschooling and it is hard. She is a very shy only child and we were just "trying it." She has done well, and I volunteer at the school a lot. But it is still hard!Rochellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09397904386163424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-559345894667319825.post-67760415692476046382007-08-19T19:49:00.000-07:002007-08-19T19:49:00.000-07:00I always wonder how I am going to add anything els...I always wonder how I am going to add anything else to the schedule when it's time to start school. I am adding our 3 yr old, since she always wants "her" work to do. Your little guy is so funny. Anyways if you're ever in NW Indiana, my Cameron and Gabe can do their hair together or for each other. lol <BR/> I usually cant' comment on yours, so I am a little long winded.

I spose that is because I just love you so and what matters to you matters to me!

This year I had to get a little serious about a schedule too. Last year homeschooling took over our lives completely and this year I am striving for a healthy balance. We attend a co-op once a week in the mornings as well. The kids love it and the parents also stay and participate. <BR/>I enjoyed reading your post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-559345894667319825.post-1462838276188748152007-08-18T23:38:00.000-07:002007-08-18T23:38:00.000-07:00i am doing the same thing right now- figuring out ...i am doing the same thing right now- figuring out a schedule and how to make it all work.
