I thought I would share a peek into what our curriculum will look like this school year!
Math~RightStart, this will be our third year using this. I did not care for it much the 1st year because it seemed like a lot of work but it is growing on me!
It is still a lot of work for me but it a lot of hands on activities for the boys and they seem to really grasp concepts.
The only thing to watch is, it is by level instead of grade. I was a little too laid back and used the same book for K-1st, I later found out that Level A is really Kindergarten not 1st grade.
Now we are trying to go through two books in one year so my oldest will be getting the right grade level.
Writing~Handwriting Without Tears
Spelling~All About Spelling
Reading~I chose books at their reading level and have them read aloud to me. This has worked really well for us.
I will be tying Science, Geography, and History together again.
Check out more about that, here.
We are learning about Creation Science for our first month or two.
I highly recommend Lee Stobel’s “Case for a Creator for kids”!
It explains things in such an easy to understand way.
Here is my little shelf, jam packed full!
Makes me happy!
Bring on 1st and 2nd grade!
