Curriculum
Notgrass History Curriculum (I have a dream of taking America the Beautiful with us and exploring the country for a school year before my kids graduate!)
Christian Book Distributor – website we use to vet a lot of curriculum choices
Total Language Plus: Language Arts Curriculum (Note: I allowed my kids to use this independently and didn’t make them do assignments they didn’t care about – I wanted them to enjoy the program and love the book more than I wanted a detailed report or diorama!)
Mystery of History: If you need a quick history win, just skip the tests and activities, and listen to the audio lessons in the car or download them to your child’s MP3 player.
Fun Extras
Notgrass History videos: super short history videos for those days you really need a super-easy educational win

Chore Reward Coupons: BONUS ITEM! I didn’t mention this in the video, but my kids absolutely love using these chore reward coupons (I had so much fun making them for you and they’re FREE! Plus you can print the same ones we use in our home, or you can print the set of blank coupons to write in your own rewards!)
Stress-Free Testing
California Achievement Test: You can save $5 off your first purchase of $10 or more, and the tests are already very reasonably priced! I have my kids do the untimed online test and we all love that the results are instantaneous!
NOTE: If your kids will take the test in the first semester of school (before December), they’ll need to take the test for their current grade. If they’re taking the test in the second semester of school (January or later), they’ll need to test for the grade they’re going into. Use this specific link to get your $5 off coupon.
