Some publishers are adopting Common Core Curriculum as they update material. Options WILL NOT purchase any of
these materials, thus you will see items that will be discontinued at the end of this coming school year. Others in the
future will be discontinued if they update to CC also.
Coming soon- Sonlight Curriculum is adding a new division to their company called “Book Shark”. This will be their
materials in a secular version for K-5th to start that we hope to pilot this coming year with interested families. Look for
more info to come! In the meantime you can visit their new website at www.bookshark.com
