Nicole @ Mama to 3 Blessings is sharing her curriculum choices for the year and wants to see ours :) Well, not just mine...yours too!

Math: Life of Fred Decimals & Percents (started the year with finishing this one up), PreAlgebra 1 with Biology, and Beginning Algebra (from Polka Dot Publishing -ZTwist books); she is in PreAlgebra 1 now and we may get PreAlgebra 2 with Economics, will see when she is done.

Geography: Complete Book of Marvels by Richard Halliburton (from Amazon) along with maps in The Story of the World, World Globe :)

Math: Life of Fred Fractions (finished this at the start of school), Decimals & Percents, PreAlgebra 1 with Biology. Probably get PreAlgebra 2 with Economics for him (from Polka Dot Publishing -ZTwist books).

Going through all that I realize my list down at the bottom of my blog isn't updated. It's amazing how much that looks like but it really isn't too bad at all. A little bit here, a little bit there. Well, anyway, that is our curriculum for the 2010/2011 school year. Perhaps I should say half of it because we started this 'curriculum' in February of last school year... confusing eh? We school year round :)

Anyway, if I didn't boggle your mind too much, take a look at what others are using this coming year over at Mama to 3 Blessings :) Thanks for stopping by!
