My StumbleUpon Page













I was wondering if you’ve purchased rosetta stone yet. Can multiple users use 1 copy or does it individualize (because it’s software) to the user? I’m really enjoying your site as a newlywed loving your recipes and as a former Montessori teacher I enjoyed browsing your homeschool curriculum ideas too!

I found your blog through WFMW and just browsed through to your curriculum. We are using so much of the same thing!
TLP, Handwriting Without Tears, Apologia, Explode The Code, and I am considering Rod & Staff for grammar.
What do the credits mean beside the 9th graders list?
We loved TLP last year! It is my girls favorite subject
Hey Toni,
Looks good!!!
I wanted to share a site that you might find interesting for your Bible dilemma if you haven’t already figured something out!
http://www.bibleclassbooks.com/index.html –FREE bible curriculum of OT & NT Bible Stories & People, along with character values. Just a note…the files are on the large size.
I did this last year with my oldest ds(12yo) and he enjoyed it. We still have several of the books to go so we are again going to be doing them this year. The other thing I did was found/made a list of verses for him to memorize and that was our Bible curriculum for the year.
HTH!
