I came in a little while ago from going to dinner with a friend and dh had watched the dvd sampler from BJU I got in the mail today, he had only seen a little on the the computer. I have some Rod and Staff here, he says that he likes Rod and Staff better, and he started to feel convicted about the cost of BJU since we are starting Dave Ramsey's Money Program. We are trying to get out of debt.

I told him I would go with which every he thinks is best I thought I had peace about BJU but when I got up this morning after my prayer time, I wasn't sure again.

He thinks we should concentrate on the basics for a year and just read good books for history and watch our Moody Science Videos and talk about them..got them months ago and haven't watched them yet

so, it looks like we are going with Rod and staff for Reading, Spelling, English and math. We will do copywork books for handwriting.

 A couple of days ago, I had the kids watch the dvd sampler of BJU and then showed them the Rod and staff books I had, and they chose Rod & Staff !!  I got a Rod and Staff 2nd grade Math book in I had l already ordered and I LOVE IT!! So, I think we made the right choice now for our family.

We were just going to override their choice, but now we don't have to and I will be able to add in a few classical Education things I wanted to, but would not have doing BJU.

We want to do Hey Andrew, Teach Me Some Greek and learn some Latin Root Words, Study a classical composer and artist each quarter.
