And it starts again, planning what curriculum to use next year. I actually think I have it (mostly) figured out.
J- He will be using MFW K and following along Gods Design for Science- life science with B
B- He will be using MFW 1st grade, Singapore Math, Horizons Math and MEP math. Sounds like alot of Math? Well through is testing we found out he is a math whiz! So now I have the responsibility of developing that natural math ability of his. He will also be doing Phonics Pathways, Reading Pathways and Explode the code along with MFW phonics (plus various readers, I have Sonlight core 1 level readers and Bob books so far.) He is going to do God's Design for Science- Life Science. I think he might listen in with the girls read alouds for ECC, not sure yet though.
T- She will be doing MFW Exploring Countries and Cultures for Bible and History. Property of Ecosystems, and God's Design for the Physical World (since 4th grade is Physics according to the WTM) That was the best I found so far since Apologia does not have their Physics books out yet... <sigh> I have been praying that would be ready but its not. Oh well. God's Design is an awesome curriculum as well. (after all it is put out by AIG)She will be doing Singapore Math and Horizons Math 4. Intermediate Language Lessons by Emma Serl. She will start writing strands. Continue with Spelling Power. She might possibly start vocabulary cartoons, not sure thought.
S- She will be doing MFW Exploring Countries and Cultures for Bible and History with T (S will do the 7th & 8th grade add on package though). She will also be doing Properties of Ecosystems with T. In addition to that she will be doing BJU English/writing 8, Writing Strands, All American History 2, Apologia Physical Science with the Red Wagon DVD's, Chalkdust Algebra 1, Patty Paper Geometry (1day a week), Logic I am unsure about. I guess it depends on how far we get this year. She is almost done with Fallacy Detective then will start The Art of Argument. She is going to do vocabulary vine science roots. I think for literature we are going to do Excellence in Literature: Intro to Lit. We are going to take it slow but I am going to have her do the honors course.
So that is our plans for the 2011-2012 school year. I will have a Kindergartner, 1st grader, 4th grader and 8th grader... YIKES!
