Ok in 3 dayys I will be starting High School ( Im homeschooled though so I go online.) tomorrow I am going to go get school supplies they don't give you a list first semester I have Language Arts I, Health, & Transitional Math The second Semester i have Current Events, Life Science, & Spanish. What all supplies do I need to keep organized and just the general supplies i need?
Thanks so much

Answer: Yeah, I agree about the ink I'd also suggest just a cheap notepad when you're working math stuff out or w/e, then some post-it notes if you have books to go with the classes? Maybe flash cards or something for spanish? I'd suggest a hole punch & binder just to keep everything together rather than lose pieces of paper and maybe by a planner or something to keep yourself organised?

Have a good day back at school. :]

Question: Homeschool Textbooks??????

What company supplies public schools with their text books? or is their somewhere else we can order textbooks?
I am looking for an 8th grade earth science and a history homeschool textbook. I'd like it to be non-religous

(because the last christen-based curriculum we got was too religous. The science course was the same as the bible course).

thank you

Answer: For Earth Science, get a kit complimentary to the textbook form Nasco Science. (Link Below) They have several books on their website as well. Request a sample page to be sent to you (or email via PDF).
For History you can start in the High School level if the child likes to read and is interested. Glencoe has a decent book "The American Republic Since 1877) or get "America: Pathways to the present" by Prentice. (link below). If you are not a US resident, start with a geography course and a world history book. For example Harcourt's "World history and you" and "world geography and you". Check out the library as well, also look at the PBS website for teacher links. They have great stories highlighted, with teacher materials for free.
I find that it is best to seperate science, history and religion. You can teach religions as a subject, inlude them all, and continue what you do for your family, the rest should be taught regular.
