We finished up most of the curriculum from this past year this week. Oldest is going to continue to work on English and Math. English should be finished by end of July, Math is another story. 2 years ago I switched her math mid-year because I could tell that she wasn't mastering the concepts. So she has been about a 1/2 year behind - to help make up for this she pretty much does Math year round.
Yesterday, as a family, we went to our area curriculum sale. I was thrilled to find both of the girl's math books and a science and spelling for the younger. These curriculum fairs are a great way to find curriculum for a lot less. By making this trip to town we saved almost $200 in curriculum.
Hopefully, in the next few weeks I will be able to order the rest and than that will give me a couple weeks to get organized before we start mid August. I am moving up the start date this year in hopes that next year we can have June and July off. These 2 months have become very busy due to vacations and ministry work getting ready for a conference that is held at the end of July every year.
