It seems I've become MIA but not really. There just hasn't been that much to blog about.
I just finished ordering our curriculum for this coming year's school. We are using the same as last year. It is nice to have found something that we will stick with for right now. As our boys graduate to higher grades, I will have to adjust but right now, we comfortable with what we are using.
Language Arts....Christian Light Education
Math...Christian Light Education
Reading...Christian Light Education
Penmanship (cursive)....Christian Light Eduation
Science...Apologia Zoology 3: Land Animals
Writing: Institute for Excellence in Writing
Bible/History: Biblioplan with Mystery of History
And, of course, they will be reading from books at least 30 minutes a day.
We are trying a different scheduling approach this upcoming year. We will school for 6 weeks with a week off. This will allow a much needed break and give us goals to reach. We are also adding some co-op classes. I've signed them up for a PE class that will meet once a week for an hour and a half at a local fitness club. They will also be involved with homeschool club called Generation Joshua. This group focuses on civics and government. I'm excited about this and hope to have more details of our experience in future blog posts.
Until then, we are taking it easy and look forward to our upcoming school year.
