Mission Accomplished - mostly...

After my curriculum fair preview posts (these ones), I thought I'd better follow up and let y'all know what I wound up buying. The odd thing is, that of the two things I actually NEEDED to buy - I only found one of them. Came up completely empty on Kennady's math book - how weird is that. Not that I'm worried, because a)she's probably not going to finish the current book by the end of this school year anyway; and 2)I can think of probably a dozen online stores I can buy it from.

(and yes, I'm well aware that I mixed letters and numbers for my sub-points in the preceding paragraph. It's a family quirk. Visit my other blog and read about our family love languages - it's one of those inside joke things, although I don't reference this one specifically in my explanation)

But I did find the ARTistic pursuits book that I wanted for Spencer:



I found the Level 3 Home Ec book for Kennady:



And I got this super-cool music appreciation/history curriculum from Bright Ideas Press - A Young Scholar's Guide to Composers:



(Yeah, about that closing paragraph in the Curriculum Fair Preview, Part Two.... where I said I had learned not to overschedule.... Oops. I may well be biting off more than we will want to chew, but I'll worry about that when we get there. I just thought this looked very manageable, in that it would be maybe 15 minutes a day most of the time. And we could probably do it at breakfast or at lunch, right? C'mon, work with me here!)

I attended three workshops by Ken Ham from Answers in Genesis, and bought a collection of books and DVDs from AiG... and had Mr Ham autograph one of the books. Yes, I'm a fan.  8-)

Now I'm going to steadfastly refuse to even begin entering lesson plans for next year until I have submitted final report cards for this year. Even if I have to sit - on - my - hands...
