Good for you Jackie!!! I still need to buy some things. Now you can have a great summer and not have to think about it. We are going to have to get together again. I would love to go visit Ava after she has the baby, but these gas prices are killing me.
Got all mine for next year too. All Abeka for ds except for science Apologia General. 8th grade All Abeka for dd exept for science Apologia Chemistry. 11th grade
Jackie, does Philip's language arts integrate reading, phonics, and spelling? I'm not familiar at all with R&S.
Hey, Good job Jackie! Tell me about Rod and Staff 9? whats it like? also the ALL AMERICAN HISTORY? hows that? Thanks!
wonderful job Jackie I have one done the other left to go. Jackie or Deena, is R & S a really good english book I really need to find one for my 8th grader next year. I want a good strong program know what I mean.
Looks awesome, Jackie! I bet if feels great to have that done. I have all the stuff I want but still have not bought a thing. I better do that before our stimulas check runs out. LOL.
I have my order in to dh, just have to have him order it from his sources heheh... wee when it is here I will post what I got!
R & S is really strong. It doesn't have frills (or color) but is very thorough. We're using it next year for my girls and the 2nd grade book is waiting in the wings for my 1st grade son :lol: My oldest is 5th grade so I haven't seen the 8th grade books but I can't imagine that it doesn't continue the thoroughness.
Becky, R&S that I'm using is just English/Grammar. I don't formally teach reading OR phonics once a child learns the basics of reading. We do all that informally. My "mom time" is Phillip's Silent Reading time, and *I* get to pick the books! He has a fairly extensive reading list!
That is awesome... I am almost done. I know a few books needed but I am waiting until the 7th when our big sale is. If I can't find them there then I will order the 9th.
