I think I have finally gotten it all figured out–at least this year’s course of study for the kiddos. And gee it’s only September! I usually have this mostly nailed down (at least on paper) by May…better late than never. I think my mantra for this year will be One thing at a time, one day at a time. I really want to slow down and savor these last few years of hs’ing The Boy–but he moves at full steam all the time. He doesn’t want to slow down and savor–he wants to be OUT.IN.THE.WORLD.NOW!! So, I just tell myself, over and over: One Thing. One Day.
And here for all it’s worth is my “plan” for the year:
The Boy:
History Odyssey, Middle Ages, Level III
Teaching Textbooks, Pre-Calculus
Apologia Chemistry, 2nd edition
Rosseta Stone Spanish, level 1
Greenleaf Guide to Literature, Middle Ages (we get to read Beowulf, Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People, Hamlet, Canterbury Tales and more!!!)
Memoria Press’ Traditional Logic, book 2
Bravewriter’s Help for Highschool Writing Curriculum and online BW courses (his history curriculum is very writing heavy as is the Greenleaf literature curriculum…so I think that will be all he needs for English and Composition)
LaLa:
History Odyssey, Middle Ages, Level II
Teaching Textbook, Algebra 1
Rainbow General Science
Bravewriter resources for writing
Mother Tongue Grammar
Rosetta Stone, Spanish, level 1
Piano
Mimi:
History Odyssey, Middle Ages, Level 2
Right Start Math
Nature Studies (Ambleside Online suggestions)
Bravewriter resources for writing
Simply Grammar and sentence diagramming
Tink:
History Odyssey, Middle Ages, level 1
Right Start Math
Nature Studies
Phonics Museum
We will use AO suggestions for Artist and Composer Studies. I also hope to include more poetry and recitaions in our weekly schedules–but only adding one thing at a time!
Coram Deo. Lola
