Our Idaho Family
Apr. 30, 2009 - Next year

Well, since this semester hasn't been too productive, I thought we'd just skip the rest of it and head into planing next year . I'm finding some things that work and some that don't. I know I'm using Teaching Textbooks for math for the older two and Math U See for my youngest. I know I want to use Easy Grammar for all of them. Has anyone reading this used Mystery of History? I was thinking of using this, so I could do it with all 3 at once, instead of having them each in their own thing. Perhaps I could keep them all on track better that way. Any thoughts on this one? I know my oldest will be doing Apologia Physical Science and my younger two will be do Apologia Exploring Creation with Botany. Other than that, I'm sorting out a few thoughts on what I'd like to do.

How about you? Do you all have everything that works? I thought I did. I like it, but my girls don't, which leads to me not liking it. So, I'm having to do some modifying. Sigh... Any thoughts about what you do would be greatly appreciated.

I bought Mystery of History and we'll be using it this fall. It looks really good, though I know it will be more of my time needed for it. But we also got the CD's so that might help it go a bit faster, and not so time consuming. But it looked very interesting and I'm having my 6th and 8th grader do it together. Sorry I'm not much help. But we do know what we are doing. TT for math, MOH for history, Apologia science, Daily Grams, Character Quality Language Arts, and that's about it. Some art and music here there. :)

Apr. 30, 2009 - Good idea
Posted by basketflat
I love the idea of keeping them altogether. I have heard Mystery of History works better for older ones. But there just aren't great all put together History curriculums out there - so at least you can be doing the same lessons and one can have slightly different texts because of age. The whole drastically different ages sounds hard. Right now for all intensive purposes I've got one doing a full curriculum so I don't have to deal with that.

Also, I think even if I were totally caught up to where I wanted to be, I'd want to do math games and reading throughout the summer - to keep them in the practice of learning.
