just a few more things for our school year ~

Miss Music Box is a senior this year ~ amazing!  A young high school senior, but this is supposed to be it!

Thus, I found a formal, comprehensive study of American civil government for her (TruthQuest History addresses much of what's involved in government, but we didn't take time to study how Congress passes legislation, etc...) 
And somehow, I will keep the book-devouring Computer Geek from reading her books before it's his turn with them!  ;-)

Exploring Government by Ray Notgrass "is a one-semester high school course that provides a half-year credit in government. Lessons cover Federal, state, and local government and also contemporary issues in government. Special emphasis is placed on the Biblical basis for government and on the U.S. Constitution."
The course also includes We Hold These Truths, a collection of historic documents, essays, and speeches in American government.

 Good stuff!

While I was at it, I ordered their high school course in economics...

from the Introduction in Exploring Economics:

The course begins with an overview of economic terms and concepts and some of
the more important economic theories. Two units (ten lessons) are devoted to what we call
God’s Economics: what the Bible says about economics, business, and wealth; a survey of
economic ideas in church history; and economic issues that Christians face today. One unit provides a brief survey of the economic history of the United States to put
our present situation in context. Eight units (forty lessons) present economic ideas, terms,
and realities in greater detail. Two units then discuss vital economic issues that confront
America today and show how the ideas presented earlier in the curriculum are related to
these issues.

And.... a couple more items from A Beka Academy (A Beka Book) ...

Bible Doctrines for Today

And Spanish 1...

And for Miss Artist and her viola... Orchestra 1 with the Jaffe Strings.

Does that look like More Than Enough??  =)  We got lots of A Beka extras with Miss A's DVD enrollment, so we'll try to keep the main thing the main thing, and enjoy what we can of the extras!
