Next year

Ok, I've spent the evening looking at curriculum for next year and I have to ask... what is anyone out there using for High School Chemistry?  I'm looking and looking....

For Biology this year we started out with one thing and hated it so we moved on to a thing I found online that is a Biology course through living books and it's working out pretty well for us.  I'd like to find something similar for Chemistry too.  Anyone of know of anything?  I'd love to hear from you!

Trying to finish out this school year...

CAMPING GUIDE (NORTH AMERICAN)Boy, this year has gone by much too quickly for me.  So much has happened.  Let's see... We went on a vacation, we moved, we lived in our camper for a month or more and then moved on post, we schooled, we've played, we've had visitors, we visited, we just been busy!  WHEW!

I'm a little worried though that we just might not get all finished this year.  We are trying, though.  We may make it but...  only time will tell.  How about any readers out there?  Do you always finish up your curriculum?  Do you go through the whole thing every time? 

I'm also trying to get some planning done for next year.  What are any of you doing?  I'm considering Beautiful Feet next year.  Have any of you used it?  What do you think of it?  I think someone told me once that it's not enough but I can't remember.  I have another friend who swears by it.  We love reading so I think it just work for us.  I am going to borrow a friends and look it over before I buy it so we'll see.

Chemistry: Concepts and Problems: A Self-Teaching Guide (Wiley Self-Teaching Guides)We'll still be using Life of Fred.  We love it and the kids are doing well with it.  I need to find a Chemistry course for DS... any suggestions?  (anyone use this one on the left?) We love living book type courses so if any of you know of any, please share!!

Well, I think this is about it for now.  I'll try to share some pictures later of what we've been doing.  Have a great week!!
