I know that it looks like I've totally over programmed them, but I don't think I have. I can always pare back if it turns out to be too much. They are quite older boys; 13 and 12 and quite frankly, I'm tired of them finishing school in less than 2 hours each day. I want them to spend at least 4 hours a day, if I can.

Is there any reason why you use three different maths curriculum's? We use the signpost maths and I love it.
Hi Therese,
Just for fun, to fill in any gaps that they might have, and to increase knowledge. :) They would have to be my top 3 reasons.
I also use 3 different main English texts too. :0)
I figure the more diverse - the better and broader outcome at the other end.
Great idea.
We are using two math curriculum's right now, Ray's and Shiller. But, will add MEP next month. We like using the two and after finding MEP, we are looking forward to the fun of three. Thanks for posting your term 3. I love looking at what others are doing and using.
We always enjoy Keys for Kids. I have *a lot* on my list for my kids this year, too. It looks overwhelming, but I know we won't be using it all every day and, like you, we may not be using it all all year. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks for joining in the Wrap-Up this week!
You have only overprogrammed them if they have stopped learning or stopped enjoying it.
