 DR> Have they got a "History of These United States" book by any chance?
 DR> That's an A Beka 4th grade book, tho many schools and homeschools move
 DR> that to 5th grade due to readability factors as well as 4th grade state
 DR> history requirements.
I'll put in a request and see what I get :) Do you have an E-mail
address?  If you do I can have them send their replies to you
directly. How's that sound??
 DR> I'm going to an A Beka showing at a hotel nearby here, this coming
 DR> Tuesday afternoon. The kids are going with me. The only thing I really
 DR> have any intentions of purchasing is that textbook and its test booklet
 DR> counterpart. 
well, how did it go??  I haven't been to one yet...just finding out
about this stuff myself.  My adopted brother and his wife are
teaching my nephew and neice (5 and 2 1/2) from Alpha and Omega
materials. From what I've seen, I think I would like Abeka better :)
 DR> I've finally gotten most of my materials together for this year. For
 DR> Math, with one I'm using Macmillan Math (that's what I happen to have)
 DR> supplemented by a word problem workbook, and for the 5th grader,
 DR> Silver Burdett Math. These were books I've collected over the years and
 DR> the S-B book even has a teacher's edition, blessed be! For grammar, I
 DR> have a Homework Helper that I will start with and also "Collectable
 DR> Correctibles", from which I can have white board Language lessons.
 DR> Reading is going to be completely literature based in support of the
 DR> history curriculum, which is A Beka's textbook. Science is unit based
 DR> also tied in with Reading and History - for instance, when studying
 DR> about the age of invention, what perfect time to be studying aeroflight
 DR> in science, right?? 
 DR> -donna
Right!!  Sounds like you got your stuff together this year.  Are you
doing homeschooling full time or as a supplement??
