LOL ... So, DD is in 7th grade this year and I am pretty sure I have everything I need/or plan to get it but I am a person who checks, checks, asks, checks, then checks again so ... with an eclectic curriculum like we use I always doubt myself. If you wouldn't mind sharing, can you give me examples of what you are doing/have done/plan to do with your 7th grade student? You don't have to give me lessons plans or anything like that, just the general's like what you are covering, what you are using (curriculum set or "mash up"), etc. Thank you so much for any help you can give us!
Here is a link to our "homeschool" page - http://familyd.50megs.com/ the links at the top under "Family Dalrymple" will send you where you need to go. "Book Lists" and "My Files" have, of course, the books we've read the past few years, according to grade, and the files include our weekly checklist and some lesson plans we used this year. For math we finished Singapore 6B and did Spectrum Math and Keys to Decimals for the rest of the year. For writing, we use Institute for Excellence in Writing. Good luck selecting your curriculum!
I did Easy Grammar for 7th grade. We did Jacob's algebra, Wordly Wise (7th grade level), "Maps, Charts, and Graphs" and Jensen's Writing. Oh, we did Word Roots too. Other things I liked were BJU English, Write Shop, there is just so much to like.
