Buying or Selling Used Curriculum

If you are looking for ways to buy or sell used curriculum, here are a few ideas for you:

Keeping it local-
• List it on the HSG Homeschool Curriculum Swap & Re-Sale group on Facebook (Not on Facebook? Email HSG/Tika Weeks for assistance.)
• List it through one of the local homeschool groups on Yahoo (JCHE, URHE, etc.) These are just a few!
• New or used, find it or put it on consignment with Professor Mom's Schoolhouse in Medford. Contact Leslie Lundgren for details at 541-773-5101.

Need to reach a broader range?
•Try {BEST} Homeschool Swap-USA. I've been trying it out and have sold several of my items, especially those with less demand locally. So easy to use! Plus, there is an phone app, if you prefer.
• List your item on Ebay or Homeschool Classifieds.
•VegSource is another option.
**Keep in mind that these long distance sales will likely require you to have a Paypal account.

I hope you find this helpful! If you have other suggestions to add to this list, be sure and share them :) Just one more reason why I love our homeschool community!

Fall Academic Classes by Arden Sleadd (GP)

Announcing Fall 2013 Classes for Academic Year 2013-14.

Offering the following classes:

Excellence in Writing
Apologia Physics
Advanced Math Lab

Courses include video instruction, which will be viewed in my home. Cost is dependent on enrollment, varying between $5-12.50/hr. Classes will meet once a week for two hours.

Excellence in Writing Course will target 12-and-up, but younger academically-advanced students can also apply. Course materials and purchases will be chosen according to current needs of students. Materials will be drawn from Andrew Pudewa's Institute for Excellence in Writing. Also, grammar and spelling will be coached if there is a need. This will dovetail well into speech club preparation, as students will read their work aloud in class and learn to use MLA format for speech competition. Enrollment Limit: eight students. Beginning September 17, and running for 24 weeks. Tuesdays 9am-11am.

Apologia Physics is a high school lab course requiring purchase of the Apologia Physics 2nd edition textbook, solutions manual, and some lab materials. Students will be required to do all written work, notes, lab write-ups, and tests. VIdeo instruction by Rusty Hughes of Apologia will be viewed in class and labs will also be done together as time allows. Enrollment Limit eight students, including my son Caleb. Beginning September 10, 2013 and running 32 weeks. Tuesdays 11:15am-1:45pm with a half-hour lunch break; bring a sack lunch.

Advanced Math is for Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-calculus and Calculus students. Math Classes will be ability-grouped and scheduled on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoons. Video instruction and online tutorials will be utilized.

To hold your place in the courses, send a $25 deposit per student to my PayPal account at ardensleadd@gmail.com. Then send me an email with your students' names, ages, and current level of attainment in the courses selected. 

In the event of a class cancellation, your deposit will be returned. If you drop enrollment prior to the start of classes, deposit will be returned. After classes begin, no returns will be given.
