Hi, Rosemary!
At the moment, we do not sell any other subjects except Bible and P.E. However, we are in the process of developing history, math, and grammar, with more to come, Lord willing. You can see what we’re working on — and even try some of it out free of charge — at http://annesschoolplace.com/blog/

Thank you for asking! ~Anne

Do you cover math and language arts with this curriculum? Or do you have to supplement? What about learning History?

Thanks,
Rosemary

Comment on Lesson 1: Four Things Kids Need Before They Can Learn by Vie-Anne

Order in the home is my challenge. The basic structure of the day is OK, but it does need tweaking. However, clutter is my biggest challenge. Although we moved a year ago now, I still haven’t found a place for everything, nor gone through the rest to donate/throw/sell and as we downsized, this is a significant task for me. And the foregoing are made harder by the fact that my resources are even more stretched since I became a single parent of two young children. Still, what I have accomplished so far has not been on my own strength, but the Lord’s, and I am learning ever more in that regard.

Much appreciated, looking forward to the rest!

Just with this advice given here, this is going to be a great Bible study! Thank you so much! I am looking forward to the remaining parts and information.

The most difficult for me at this time are two out of the four things mentioned. You see, I have adult attention deficit disorder (AADD)and our son has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It has always been difficult for me to concentrate on one thing at a time and not be easily distracted, so we are still working really hard on this individually, as well as together. Also, the other difficult one for me is striving to always be the example that he needs to see. I tend to get antsy, frustrated, and so forth easily because of my diagnosis, but, again, seeing improvement a little bit at a time as I strive to work hard on this each day. When I do get out of line at some point, I stop right then and explain to him why it was wrong and why I should not have done what I did or reacted in the manner that I did.

Hi, Claudia, this is a GREAT question! We wrote our curriculum for several kids because that’s what we have, but I think you and your daughter would greatly love and enjoy the discussion you’d have together. It would be a very special mom-and-daughter time. It would be like having personal devotions together each day. Wow…. (I’m a teeny bit jealous… LOL) Have you seen the sample at http://foundationspress.com/downloads/Foundations1preview.pdf Try it for a few weeks, to see if it’s a good fit for you and your daughter.

I always recommend Year 1, unless you’ve recently read through and discussed the Old Testament. It gives a very good foundation for understanding the New Testament.

I hope this helps! ~Anne

I have only one daughter who is 12 year old. And loves the Lord. It will be my first time doing home school. The sample that you have for the Bible curriculum shows its meant for more than one child envolvement. How can I make this curriculum made for one person and fun. Also which Foundation book do you recommed to start?
