Mission Accomplished!

Since the summer of 2013, I've been on a mission.

As I originally wrote in a September post that year - and have recently re-published here:

[I've become] deeply convicted that I am no longer to sell anything of value in terms of children's education - not curriculum, not other educational resources, and not even children's literature. Instead, I'm going to save and store everything I have worth keeping. ...I'm also working to find room in our budget to re-purchase copies of good material I've sold in the past, all of which I'll pack up into totes [for the girls to use with their children in due time]... I may end up with rows of totes stacked floor-to-ceiling, but I don't care.

Ultimately, I agree with Carole Joy Seid, who teaches that any parent can successfully homeschool with just a Bible, a library card, and a math book. But, since I've used curriculum of various sorts over the years and am able to hold onto it if I'd like, I've been on a mission to keep rather than resell the good resources we have; to regain solid material I'd previously sold; and to fill in with a few things I've learned of since launching The Homeschool Resource Roadmap. My goal has been to provide my girls with quality material to use with their children no matter what happens to educational resources over the next couple of decades, and - with very few exceptions - I've stuck to text- and game-based material since multimedia-oriented resources may not be relevant with changes to technology over time. I obviously can't purchase multiple copies of most things, so they'll have to share. And they may each find some good resources to supplement what I've been able to collect; in fact, I'll be continuing to add more literature and a few other high school-level resources over the next few years. But my hope has been to gather a basic but complete "homeschooling trousseau" for all ages - a means of blessing my daughters and their husbands as they will undertake the task of educating their own children - so they won't need to add a thing if they don't want to.

And I have (almost entirely) accomplished what I set out to do! Yes, other than a few more high school-level resources, the trousseau is now complete!

NOTES

Some resource listings are marked with an asterisk (* or  * or *) because they require a bit of explanation:

*****

• BOOKS, BOOKS, AND MORE BOOKS!: I've always leaned toward the use of living books, so I've collected crates and crates of literature - everything from picture books for toddlers to unabridged, high-level classics - all stored for the girls to use. I'll also be buying several dozen more books over the next few years to add to the collection;
• Answers Magazine and Creation Illustrated Magazine: We've been subscribing to each of these magazines for a number of years. They do not contain time-sensitive content so I can save and pass on what we collect for as long as we subscribe;
• Artisan and Business Center Homeschool Art Program: The girls took various classes - Mixed Media Art, Wheel Throwing Clay, Mosaic Art, Collograph Printing, World Art and Culture, and Fused Glass - through a program offered in partnership with the local technical college. Obviously, this was contingent upon the availability of the program;
• Masterpiece: The World's Greatest Paintings Art Collection: This is a collection of over 350 high-quality reproductions of various paintings, along with detailed notes about each artist and work. It was formerly published by International Masters Publishers (IMP) - given to us as a monthly gift subscription by my in-laws - but it now appears to be out of print;
• New Inductive Study Series, The: Kay Arthur has written 31 New Inductive study guides, covering every book of the Bible. I have four so far, which I've been using in my personal Bible study, and will continue to add to the collection until I have them all;
• WORLD Magazine: WORLD is also a magazine subscription, but its content is time-sensitive, so saving old issues wouldn't be helpful. If the magazine is still being published when the girls have families, I'll encourage them to subscribe; alternately, perhaps I'll purchase annual gift subscriptions for each family.

• The A Beka Consumer Mathematics material is print-based but won't necessarily be relevant years from now due to inflation and other changes in financial realities over time. I may keep one set as a reference point for the girls, or I may sell this material for others to use now. I do hope, though, that A Beka will have similar material when the girls need it, as the program is excellent;
• The How Should We Then Live?, History2U, Chemistry 101,  Physics 101, Is Genesis History?, Beyond  Is Genesis History? and Economics for Everybody DVD series may not be useable in the future, depending on technology, so I am selling them when we finish with them to enable others to get use of them. I do hope, though, that the girls can find each of these resources in a useable format when the time comes. Of course, How Should We Then Live? has a book as well, and the girls might use All American History in place of (instead of in addition to) History2U, if necessary. The publisher of Chemistry 101 and Physics 101 also produces Biology 101 and General Science 101, which I never bought but highly recommend;
• The Music and Moments with the Masters series are entirely CD-based so they might not be useable in the future, depending on technology, but I'm choosing to keep them because the audiobook biographies and musical selections are so good;
• The media-based Homeschool Parent Resources are all DVDs, which might not be useable in the future, depending on technology, but I've chosen to keep them because they are all so good.

• Book Projects to Send Home: These books are published by a subsidiary of Carson-Dellosa, which is actively aligning its resources to the CCS. I do not recommend purchasing any post-2009 Carson-Dellosa affiliated products, but these books were written in 2004, have not been updated since (and, thus, cannot contain CCS content), and appear to be available only on the used book market, if at all;
• City Creek Press, The Usborne First Book of the Recorder and The Checklist: I purchased these resources several years ago, and I found them quite useful so I want to keep them for the girls. However, in recent years, all three publishers have chosen to correlate their materials to the common core standards (CCS). Because I cannot in good conscience promote anything with a connection to the CCS, I can no longer recommend them to others and suggest attempting to find something similar from non-CCS vendors and/or to purchase them on the used book market;

• Getting to Know Series: Mike Venezia's books are published by Scholastic, which is actively aligning many of its products to the CCS. The company has not currently altered or correlated Mr. Venezia's books to common core and has no plans to do so, but it may be best to seek out pre-2010 editions on the used book market;

• Our Presidents Rock, Our Constitution Rocks, and Lessons in Responsibility for Girls: Level One: I have attempted to learn each author's stance on the CCS. However, they have not replied to my queries so I cannot guarantee that these resources currently remain independent of the initiative.

I still can't really believe the task is done! While I'm certainly not in a hurry for my girls to leave the nest, I know I can't stop their growing-up process. So before I know it, there will be weddings to help plan and babies to celebrate. And I'm really glad I can offer this homeschooling trousseau as my gift to the girls and their families.
