Pennsylvania Curriculum Exchange
Here are some interesting new things on the shelves:
This economics course written by RC Sproul Jr. really caught my eye. In the times we live in it is necessary more than ever for our children to understand what is going on in our nation in regards to economics. RC Sproul Jr. is a solid Christian theologian and conference speaker who often focuses on worldview issues.
A description from the publisher:
Is money the root of all evil? What is the difference between the Keynesian, Austrian, and Chicago schools of economics? What is the mark of true prosperity, and what duties, if any, does government have toward the poor? These and other key economic questions are answered in Biblical Economics: A Complete Study Course, a curriculum from Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr., that explores stewardship, prosperity, money, inflation, poverty, debt, and the implications of statist intervention in the economy. Each lesson in the included study guide directly corresponds with R.C.’s 12-part mp3 audio series and features a course syllabus, a brief overview of each lecture, study questions, and Scriptures to memorize. The guide also includes a glossary of economic terms to master, and a helpful bibliography of other books on economics for students who want to learn more. Finally, a biblically-based study course on sound economics! Never has it been more important for our children to understand biblical economics, and this course from Dr. R.C. Sproul, Jr. will give them that grounding. —Kevin Swanson, Director of Generations with VisionThis study course includes:
* 215-pg. hardback
* 95-pg. study guide with discussion questions, quizzes and answer keys, and a final exam
* 12 audio lectures on MP3 CD
* 2 PDF files containing 2 e-books on CD-ROM for further study

It’s been out for a bit but I finally have a copy on the shelves: Saxon Geometry. The homeschool kit comes with a text book, test/answer key and solutions manual.

Now for some used items. We got some goodies in this week!
This is a log cabin dollhouse that you build. The box is still factory sealed. $18
Or if you prefer free-style, here is a very large box of Lincoln Logs ($12)
And finally, a Bundy flute with hard case. The owner says the pads were recently replaced. It appears to be nickle-plated (and is all one color–my pic came out with different colors! It’s shiny silver) $40.
*********************************
Note about consignments: NOW is the time! People begin shopping in earnest now for their curriculum for next year so this is the ideal time to get your books on the shelf for maximum exposure for this season. Please, only bring CURRENT EDITION curricula. Plus readers/classics, lab equipment and manipulatives.
