May. 19, 2006 - Planning out High School

I have spent the past hour online trying to find the best deals on (or find at all!) the curriculum that Sprite is going to be using next year for High School (I can NOT believe I will have a high school aged child!!!).  

She'll be doing a biology co-op with some other friends next year (yay!) so that was set ~ Apologia Biology.  

She's also (most likely) doing Starting Points World View Primer for literature, history and Bible, and the girls in her little co-op are doing that one as well, so they'll have a book discussion each week after biology.  

Then she'll add the high school Institute for Excellence in Writing with Kerra (a continuation of the writing course they started this year)... and viola' we're done... excpet for Math.  

I would LOVE to be able to afford THIS as she loves the few pre-algebra videos from this company that our library has.  It would make things SO much easier on all of us ~ if we are able to sell the bus, I think this may become a priority for me!

I would also love to be able to afford Rosetta Stone for the foreign language (Spanish makes the most sense, although I would prefer to learn French or something more) but I'm not sure if that will fit into our budget.  It would be something that all the kids can use, and although its expensive, it has the best "real life" reviews of anything I've talked with others about.

I'm babysitting today for a couple of kids (Ozzy and Sholanda) that got out of PS yesterday, so I'm using this as an organizational day...
