St. Andrew’s Home School

I’ve begun to gather things for next year. I know we haven’t completed this year but I need to start the process now so I won’t be pushing and shoving and waiting for back orders and grumbling about procrastinating.

• I’ve already received the entire set for the new math level for the oldest (MUS Pre-Algebra with Honors book, DVD, TE, etc.)
• I’ve already received the student editions of MUS Primer, Alpha, Gamma, and Epsilon (for the others - have everything else as we have always used MUS)
• Last year was the first time to use Easy Grammar and we all liked it so I ordered and received Grades 3, 5, and 7 (needed 4 and 6 last year so now I’ll have almost all the TE and henceforth will only need the student editions)
• Pre-ordered TOG Redesigned Year 3 (can’t wait for that to start arriving)
• Ordered the Unit 1 books for TOG RY3 for Lower Grammar, Upper Grammar, and the Dialectic stage and they should start arriving soon.
• Ordered and received the new Latin text, we switched to Latin for Children last year and will do the same again this year.
• Ordered and received Logic for the oldest
• We’re not sure yet about Science - hoping to continue with Exploring Creation series with the Co-Op (will know more later)
• I’ve begun re-reading The Well-Trained Mind.
• I ordered a few other books for myself to read over the summer.
• I completed entering Easy Grammar 3 Lesson Plan into HST
• I completed entering MUS Pre-Algebra Lesson Plan into HST
• I fine tuned-copied a Lesson Plan of Primer and Alpha into HST for the 1st grader with special needs - this is a struggle for her.
• I’ve begun compiling, editing, and publishing new Education pages
