I would like to know where to buy curriculum for homeschooling a middle school student. I prefer Not to buy online. I want to go into a store and look at what they have. Any stores in San Jose or surrounding areas that have curriculum?
It isn't fair that people get two points just for fake-answering. :(
Anyway, did you ask a local homeschool support group, like the one listed below (free scholars)?
One place to try is Learning Rainbow. I'll list their website below free scholars. They're going to be having a teacher's "flea market" where you can check out used curriculum! Morrison School Supplies is supposed to have a bit of everything, also. Maybe this would give you a start. I went under Google and typed in San Jose CA and teacher supply and homeschool. Those are only a couple that showed up. Looks like you have quite a lot available in your area.
Oh, and I hope you'll take advantage of local places, such as your zoo! I bet you they offer homeschool programs.
Good luck. I hope I at least pointed you in the right direction!
Brief excerpt from a program on middle school curriculum
What themes make this a safe/desirable book for the middle school curriculum?
The themes of love and honoring differences make it a wonderful book. I am an 8th grade language arts teacher and The Giver is the single thing I do every year that the kids report getting the most out of.
I will be home schooling my son for the new year.
I plan to use Memoria press. It is a Classical Education Curriculum

I want the Japanese translation of this; Congrtatulations for having successfully completed the middle school curriculum.
Area52 was first in, and give the points to him, but it might have slipped his mind that not everybody can read kanji (^_-)
What he said, in case you don't know, is:
Chuugaku no gakushuu katei wo shuuryou sareta koto, oyorokobi moushiagemasu.
New to teaching this class/feeling a little overwhelmed. Any help would be great.
Although this is a high school teacher, I think the ideas will be useful:
I am a high school Activities Director with a Leadership class. We meet 4 days a week on a modified block schedule. I try to do lessons twice a week, keeping them to only 20 minutes or so. Here are two lessons that I have had success with and hope you can incorporate into your classroom.

Signal Mountain's SMX programs bridge the after-school gap ...
Every school day, most Hamilton County students walk out of the front doors at 2:15 p.m. Whether they go home or wait for sports practices to start the reality is the same and a student’s day ends before their parent’s. For middle school students this often translates into many hours home alone, often parked in front of the television.
Signal Mountain Extras, SMX, at Signal Mountain Middle and High School has introduced a solution: an after school program that reinforces what happens in the classroom while providing the fun kids want after a full school day and a bit of the independence for which middle schoolers are always pushing.
“We’ve had parents tell us ‘This is a God-send’,” said Mike Taylor, Executive Director of the Mountain Education Foundation (MEF), the non-profit organization behind SMX. He continued, sharing compliments parents have heaped on the program. Families have been thankful for the additional family time because homework is finished and awed that children want to continue even when their family work schedule means they don’t have to.
