Do they require that you use what you list, or is it just a sample curriculum? Does anyone check?

If not, and if you don't feel like getting all your ducks in a row now for whatever reason, you could just pull the curriculum standards list off the

site (or something similar), then hit your library website and pull some sample books that would work with these here for your list. Done!

I plan DS8's work for a couple of months in advance, tops, since things change so fast. So for me, trying to plan April in August is a fruitless waste of time. My "fake list" passes muster, takes very little time or effort, and frees me up to be more loosey-goosey with it, which I like.

Plenty of people use the required curriculum submission as a way to plan their year and be organized and are very happy about it. That's great for them, and more power to them. But if you don't want to be that locked-in on things and no one checks, then you might be able to fake it.

It's all about what you prefer. smile
