Last week I finally got my paperwork into the homeschool association for registering this year. I dove into my Rainbow Resource catalog and finally made some decisions on what we will be using for some of our subjects next year. Being such an eclectic homeschool leaves the options wide open, but I was looking for things that I thought might keep the kids interest without becoming overwhelming. Even though we are going into our sixth year of homeschooling I am still learning something new every year. So many things look interesting and it makes it hard for me to decide, but I think I have found some new things that might work well for us. I let the kids help me choose some of the books we will be using and we are also going to use some of what we have used in the past. This is what we decided on:
