Pretty excited about this. While I was in NC had the opportunity to talk home schooling with several friends. I have to say that is something I miss about NC. We had such a great support group there for our schooling. So I went to my favorite used book store and picked up Faith's next math book, which she will need in 25 more lessons. Wow that is a month!!! Okay, so I found the Saxon 76 with answer key for 5 dollars!!! Very excited about that deal.Then Venessa and I wandered into a back room and I found an entire set of World Book Encyclopedias for 21 dollars!! They are from 1989 but I am okay with that. For truly up to date stuff we have the Internet but this gives them the reference book experience I feel they are really lacking.
I also got the opportunity to see what Venessa is using and I love it!! I was looking at a change for next year. Konos has been great but we are needing something different. I looked at her Tapestry of Grace and really think it is right for us. So as soon as i can find the money for it I am going to buy it and start preparing for fall. I like it because it is history based and by the time they finish the full 4 books they will have covered every thing in history that is needed and required. The only thing we will have to supplement is math and science lab stuff but we maybe okay until high school with the science....not sure yet. I think we will just have to spend a year with it before we know.

Sounds so exciting! Can I come to school too?
I know nothing about homeschooling. Re science: could there possibly be somewhere to get the "homeschooler's frog & fetal pig dissection kit"? THAT would be very cool! Maybe the kids could just go catch some frogs. Too gross?
