Darcie, I appreciate what you said about being weak in Math. That was not my forte either. I leaned on this handbook for terms and methods. Sometimes I needed something else to understand a little more what Saxon was trying to explain. You would love having this in your library.

I also leaned on this English Handbook by Rod and Staff - excellent resource.

Another excellent place to be is VegSource. If you want to see what most of the families are using in this country, this is a great website. Especially great for selling and trading. I lived on VegSource during our homeschooling years.

Thanks for the tip on the English Handbook. I've been looking for one of these, but had yet to find one that I really liked.

It is excellent.

Here's another resource that I really love - "The ABC's and All Their Tricks". Being that the English language has so many variations on word pronunciation and rules, I like to know WHY a word is being pronounced the way it is aside from the set rules. 85% of our English language is phonetic, it's the other 15% that gives us a headache when teaching.

Liberty University has an online program now, and you can get college credits for a few of your high school classes as well as a program that credits you dollar for dollar towards college, so everything you spend with them for home school classes they credit back to you for college tuition.

I wanted to share with all you homeschooling parents another really great web site!

www.lessonplanet.com

You can sign up for a free 10 day trial membership. After the 10 day membership trial is over, you can get a full membership for only $29.95 per year. This is a good deal if you supplement your homeschool w/ a lot of worksheets, as I do.

They have over 150,000 lesson plans and worksheets, all of which are teacher reviewed!!

They have worksheets that cover all grades (K-12), in all subjects! Including, music, art, economics, writing, etc......they literally cover practically every subject!

They even cover your state's standard.
