While at a birthday party, for a homeschool friend, yesterday the mom and I got discussing homeschool curriculum, of course. She buys from the Critical Thinking Company, for Language Arts, and has been very pleased with the results. Since Language Arts is on of the more boring class to teach, I am always looking for something more interesting. So, I went to their website last night, and decided to save a few of their products, to purchase when I am ready. Oh, by the way, I am considering getting the Algebra 1 book from The Critical Thinking Co, as well. I was checking it out, and it looks amazing, especially for the way they want the kids to learn the Math now.

Those are all for my High School child, though word roots I may use with my 6th grader as well. The earlier I start, the better.
For my 6th grader, my friend is letting us try a curriculum her girls did not care for, but that I think mine will love. It is from Micheal Clay Thompson, and we are starting right off with level one. If she likes it, I most definitely use it again. Language Arts is her biggest complaint, and hardest subject to teach her. I am hoping this will be a good fit for her.

Tomorrow we are off to a fun day at the water park. I feel like we have not accomplished a ton the last week. We were at the springs twice, and now the water park. However, this time of year with lots of birthdays, and end of year fun stuff it is hard to say no. We aren't behind, I just like to drive myself crazy, lol.
