Is there anything more thrilling than ordering curriculum? Is it sad or weird for us homeschoolers that we get such a THRILL out of it. I have been working on getting organized for the upcoming schoolyear (yes, we don't start until September, but that's OK), but it has been frustrating to try to figure out what to do when I do not have all the materials.
I recently sold a bunch of curriculum on ebay. I am no ebay expert...I am not even a novice, so when I got an email that my funds were available on paypal, silly me thought that meant it was in my account. No, you have to go through processes to get the money into your account. But, I got to thinking...why go through all that when I can just use my paypal account to buy new curriculum.
The thrill of the hunt began. I already knew what curriculum we would be using this year would be, it was just a matter of finding where I could get it the cheapest (I will list and link that curriculum below). I tried Amazon.com, but they do not tend to carry much homeschool material there unless it is sold by private sellers. I tried Christianbook.com (Christian Book Distributors) and found they had what I needed, but a couple of items seemed a bit much. A seller on ebay had the grammar I was looking for in new or like new condition for far cheaper than anywhere else, so that was an easy sell. Math and bible were cheaper when bought at Christian Book Distributors while science was cheaper from the publisher. All in all, I am pleased. Lucky for me, I already had history, and reading is taken care of too.
So, here is what we are doing for the 2012-2013 school year (as long as I do not have buyers remorse!)!
History - Story of the World Volume 1: Ancient Times
Math - Singapore Math 2A, 2A Intensive Practice, 2B, 2B Intensive Practice
Science - Considering God's Creation
Grammar - Shurley English, Level 2
