[BensMom]

I'm going to sticky this. Here's how it works ... I want everyone to list all of the curriculum choices they're either currently using or have used in the past. Please ONLY list the things you've actually used, even if it was only briefly before deciding it didn't fit your needs, or things you've reviewed well enough that you plan to use them during the following term. That way when people have questions about something, we can look through the list and see if anyone is available to comment on it. If something is relatively the same for all grades, just list the name. If it varies, please list the actual book/level you used.

Please come back from time to time to edit your ORIGINAL reply. Thanks!

I love to hear what everyone is using!
But it would be really cool to hear about why you like/didn't like a certain curriculum. Pros/cons etc! Since I am new (my first year) and I want to put together my own curriculum next year, I would love to hear more about each choice! When you have time, of course! tara

We are fans of all things online/computer based, lol.

We used Starfall for early education

What are we using now?

Time4Learning (have used for Pre-K through 7th grade so far) for language arts, math, science and social studies.

Vocabulary and Spelling City for vocabulary, spelling and handwriting (I am able to create and print handwriting worksheets using our word lists).

Learning Games for Kids for educational games in many subjects; all of our core subjects, plus art games, health games, keyboarding games and more. Both boys (ages 12 and 7) use this site every day.

We have some how-to books for art (how to draw, how to paint, crafts to make with household items, etc) and we have a couple of really good science experiments book. We also use the Internet for tons of additional activities. The boys watch educational videos and google things ALL the time.

They are both active in Scouts and they play soccer in both the spring and fall seasons.

They both read a lot, we find recommendations of good books from our library as well as from online sites like Barnes and Noble (we all have eReaders, so often BN will recommend books based on what we have already read. That's nice, lol)

I think that's it. I can come back and update as I think of things.
