Hooray! I am so excited! Andre' gave me the goahead to order our fall curriculum...

Here is the rundown for those who are interested in such info...

Preston - Sonlight Core 300 - 20th Century World History (sounds fun huh! - we are both so excited to be returning to Sonlight after spending a year with Christian Liberty Press. He actually told me to NEVER order CLP for him again and that under no circumstances should I use it for any of his sibs - it is good info, but we are not a text book family! - I am grinning inside and thinking 'told ya so!') He will also be taking IEW (writing course) at our Co-op, Teaching Textbooks Geometry (so happy about a break from Alg!), and Apologia Chemistry (I am a little scared of this one - chemicals and equations and alchol burners ~shudder~) He is also looking into teaching guitar at co-op - a big step for him (pray it works out and the admin allows it - he will be only 16 after all!)

Catherine and the boys will do Core 7 - World HIstory from the Reformation to today. I can not wait! It is so tempting to start as soon as the box arrives - but I will hold off and give em a summer!

Catherine and Cuyler will do Teaching Textbooks 7, Apologia General Science and will taking the IEW class at Co-op for their writing.

Catherine will continue with Spelling Power (she is on Level G now - I believe it goes to Level K and we are doing about 2 or so levels per year)

Cuyler and Cade will continue with Sequential Spelling - love it!

Cuyler, Cade, Geoffrey and my neice (3yo) will do Handwriting Without Tears on their respective levels.

Cade will continue with Singapore Math and Geoffrey will do Miquon and Singapore combined. It is my first trial with Miquon and if I like it I will add Miquon for Cade. These guys will take a Science class at co-op.

Now if I can just keep my hands off till August! Actually I will spend my summer by the pool reading all of the Core 300 books (or at least a good chunk of em) so that I can have intelligent conversations with Preston discussing his history and literature.

In other random news - just an observation really. My daughter was making an account online at Millsbury.com and wanted her user name to be 'Jesus is 2good 2be 4gotten' she was denied because it contained OFFENSIVE material! Doesn't the Bible speak about Jesus being an offence to some? She was actually offended that her Jesus was considered offensive. Esp when tried 'God Rocks' and found it was already used??!!  So apparently only the Son is offensive ~ sheesh!
