Two kids in high school----YIKES!!!!

So I now have 2 kids in high school.  How did that happen?  I'm excited about this year.  And they are excited about this year (well one is anyway :-)  ). 

Love our new curriculum.  Almost made a big mistake, but God was gracious and allowed me to see my wrong curriculum choice before we were 3 months into the school year.

So, for this year we are using:

*Notgrass Exploring America history, literature and Bible.  We used Notgrass Exploring World History.....liked it so much we decided to continue with his American History.  We all enjoyed our first day.

*Writing will be Essentials in Writing.....this is a curriculum I found late last year and the kids love it.  Short video lesson that very clearly breaks down the writing process.  Teaches writing by starting off with a review of grammar and punctuation, followed by writing sentences, paragraphs, essays, and research papers.  So glad both of the kids like this one!

*Total Health to fulfill that health credit

*Apologia Physical Science and Apologia Chemistry.  Should be a busy science year!

*Rosetta Stone French and German

*The book and study for I Don't Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist

*VideoText Algebra.  Found this one last year as well.  Very good explanations.  Kind of pricey, but buying the online version saves some money.  And, "Algebra" actually includes Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Algebra 2.  And my kids like it.  Always a huge plus. 

So, we're off to the races.  Sad to think how close we are getting to the end of this journey!
