Notebooking, continued

Continued from yesterday's post.

I realized I had some paper downstairs, so I checked it out. I don't have to buy any legal size paper. Quite a few years ago, someone gave me a huge stack of 11" x 17" white paper (not construction paper). Well, I just have to fold it over punch holes in, and the paper fits nicely into a binder. This is what I will use for the human body notebooks. I'm so glad. I'm trying to spend the least amount of money as possible for homeschooling this year.

I am disappointed that I can't get the Editor in Chief book for Tom. That is ok. Someone gave me a box of books a few months ago with the Rod and Staff English 7 set. That saved me some money.

I still need to get Becca 11th grade. In the mean time, I'm going to switch her schooling to 12th grade books, which I have. I will list them on the left sidebar.

I still need the knowledgequest maps. Tom needs to have geography. I do have the Ultimate geography book but the KQ maps would be better for our studies this year.

Not sure about math. I would like to use R&S math 7 and Life of Fred. I have to talk to Ed about ordering these.

I'm hoping we will be able to visit Valley Forge within the next few weeks. I was talking to Ed about going and he said he would like to go also. I was just going to take the kids myself. I also want to go other places but believe it or not they are closed. The Daniel Boone Homestead, Washington's Crossing...closed. What is this government doing? This is history, our kids history. They need to see all of this. I have to find some other places. I would like to go (with Ed) to Philly (some things have been cut there also). The kids would like this. We had an opportunity to go earlier this year, but I didn't because Ana would not have made it through the day. She's quite a few months older and I think she will do fine.

Have a nice day.
