2010-2011 plan

I have completed my lesson plan for the WHOLE 2010-2011 year. I have a week by week plan with every day written out. I even have the materials I will need and books I will need to get at the library. I have pulled apart all workbooks and made copies (those that I am legally allowed to make) and put them in the weekly file folders. Shelby and Matthew have a file holder with all of their weeks in it.

WHAT WE WILL USE

Most of the books I bought used on ebay, through the Well Trained Mind Forums or got off of Paperback swap/Swap Tree. I also hit up Half Price Books with Coupons several times this year to collect the books I knew we would need. Some I scored for $1! Those that I bought new I bought on Amazon (love their 4 for 3 deal), Exodus Books and Rainbow Resources. There are a few listed below that I still need that I hope to find used soon.

We do go to the library but I love having the books I know I need for school on hand to use when needed. I can then resell them at the end of the school year or save them for the next child to use them.
