Less-Stress Curriculum
Less-Stress Curriculum
Buy used: This is a great way to save stress if you don’t use it! You didn’t spend a lot of money buying it. . Used books stores abound in our area. Or look on-line.
Don’t do all activities: Just because you bought something you ARE going to use, you still don’t have to do everything in the book! Do what works for your family. Don’t stress out because you haven’t done EVERYTHING listed to do! Flexibility is the key to less stress!
Internet: You can find tons of sites where you can learn for free on the Internet. (I have a four page doc. that has Interent links to learn EVERY subject...email me if you would like me to send you an attachment of that four page doc.) The library also contains many things available for your use. Don’t forget those on-line swap boards for re-selling what you are finished with!
Teacher’s editions: What a big stress there! Mostly these are made for classroom settings where ONE teacher is trying to keep 30+ students busy! Don’t feel like you need to do everything it says. In fact, I don’t even buy TE’s until 4th grade subjects.
Okay, now that we feel less-stressed about our curriculum, let’s get busy!

Thanks for your tips!!
