Laura's curriculum for next year seems to be in the hands of God. Things just seem to fall in to place easily or not at all. I could lose a bid on Ebay, but find something used somewhere else, or vice-versa. All I know for sure is that Laura willl be using Saxon Math next year. She used Saxon at her public school for years, as have her sisters. Plus, I got the book for free. Actually, my husband and I paid for half of it a couple years ago for my step-daughter's tutoring. I asked if it was still around, and there it was.
I had a couple different directions I was considering for next year's studies. I don't want to buy tons of stuff. Stuff just creates clutter. I don't mind things like christian literature that the library doesn't have and good math, grammar, and spelling books, but I am trying to keep things kind of simple. I think I overcomplicated things for myself and Laura this year by trying so much. I am not frustrated about this because this year has been about experimentation and discovery. However, I don't want chaos to reign next year.
In the next few weeks I hope to finalize my next year's curriculum choices and plans. It may still be a bit of a hodge-podge selection of stuff, but that is fine with me if it is stuff that works for us. I've had to take into consideration our finances, a lifestyle with probable ministry studies for both my husband and me, the fact that I teach Sunday School and Wednesday Night Mpact Girls groups, three active teenagers - one of whom is here only certain days and another that is a type 1 diabetic, and a toddler that will be two in April. Yeah, simple seems nice right about now doesn't it?
