Yes, yes, yes.
I do like having workbooks, but it's totally a luxury, easy for Mommy I'm-so-happy-this-is-all-in-one-place thing. IMO. We could do all our subjects without any workbooks, and we don't really on them as our primary sources, but especially with math, it is sooo nice. And I like having some science sheets that way if I start to freak that we're "not doing enough" with science, it gives us something quick to discuss. We have the Singapore science wkbks and they're rely simple, quick, just touch on something then look it up further in other books type resource. And I started out with Waldorf style/copywork for handwriting, but just now am really seeing the beauty of the book with dotted letter thing--she likes it, and it's less work for me.
Anyways, you definitely don't need an entire curriculum written out for you and I think it's better not to---the curric that is best for your kid is one that is tailor made for your kid.
