yes, this year we've use Oak Meadow. I had to add to their readers (dd read all they sent in a little over a month) and I had to add something more blunt for grammar (their grammar instruction was much like Sonlight's...too much at once in the beginning). Their math has worked fine but I like Horizons better. It's heavy on art and we haven't done all they have in the Teacher's Manual.

Not sure we'll stick with it for next year. I'm also considering Switched on Schoolhouse (dd loves computer games and I'm thinking it might be nice to get the academic stuff out of the way so we can expand on her interests the rest of the day) or Enki (which I'd have to put together myself...they only have an in depth outline to use as a guide for 5th grade)

Robin, I have the new sonlight catalog

I know what you mean -- in the time it took me to figure out and order the Sonlight books Renee read all of Harry Potter vol.1. So I'm wondering how many weeks/days it will take her to zoom through all the stuff I just ordered.

So I should be looking for new curriculum, oh, about June...LMK what you think about Enki's outline. How indepth does it get? I want someone else to put most of the stuff together for me so I can spend on other stuff (knitting, gardening, making fairies, etc. -- please note that I am totally willing to give up all time spent on housecleaning )

we're just getting together at my house anytime after 11 til whenever. I think we're putting together a preschool curriculum for a year. That's the plan, anyway. And Gwen has plans to dip into my wool stash. LOL! LMK if you need directions again.
