So its that wonderful time of year to figure out whats working and whats not and re-evaluate.
I've been doing that since January. However this is when it gets crunch time.
This is what our thoughts are so far for 2012/2013 that will start for our homeschool in August.
Bible
Reading daily passages and talking about them.
Going to read the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelations.
The kids will have devotion time as well.
DS1 will be using Jesus Calling.
DD and DS2 will be doing Beginner Bible stories with Questions following.
Math
Math U See of course!
Don't see that one changing anytime soon!
DS1 - Zeta
DD - Gamma
DS2 - Beta
We will supplement some topics with Math Mammoth, such as Time & Money.
Spelling/Reading/Writing
All About Spelling Level 1(DS2) & Level 3(DS1 & DD)
All About Reading Level 1 & 2(DS2)
Write Shop A(DD & DS2) and D(DS1)
As well as using their wonderful story builder cards for writing center once a week.
Still trying to decide if we are using Progeny Press Literature Guides or Veritas Press.
Science
Simple Schooling interactive units until November.
Considering Gods Creation after
Lab's will come from Janice Van Cleave's wonderful books, we had been doing these once a week but we may start doing them twice a week. My kids crave experiments. When asked what they wanted more of for planning. This was it. More labs mom more!! So I will cater to that as long as I can.
History
Road Trip USA & Time Traveler Packs.
Unit Studies & Lapbooks
No real plan for these. DD is the only one who has requested them so I will finish those plans soon.
I will be using our entire collection of Amanda Bennett's Download N Go's we own. As well as the wonderful items from Homeschool Share.
Notebooking
Yes yes yes... Our new favorite. There are so many different types of notebooking. It fits all 3 kids and they enjoy it rather much. We will be doing this on a variety of topics.
Art
The Worlds Greatest Artist
We will work on American Sign Language more in detail this year.
Typing will become a priority.
Read Aloud Plans:

Can't wait to get moved and settled. Please continue to pray for our move!!
Looks like a good, well organized up coming year. I will soon write our plans as well. Can't wait to order =)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful year! We're big MUS fans too. Love the Progeny Press Guides. I plan on adding some into our Sonlight studies once we're done building our new house and I have a extra money again. lol
ReplyDeleteHow fun!! We have used Math Mammoth and I like it a lot. We will also incorporate many of our subjects with notebooking because they are GREAT for almost everything. Have a great year starting in August!!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the Curriculum Choice Blog Roll.
ReplyDeleteI love to see what others are using in their homeschool.
I have never used Veritas Press guides, but I have used Progeny Press for several years and have been really satisfied with them. I love how they integrate the Bible into the stories, and they also do a good job touching on my different aspects of literature. I highly recommend it.
We are in the process of moving too. Our house should be finished at the end of August. Right at the beginning of our school year. Let's just say, this year is not going to start of the way I envisioned. Oh well.
Praying for your move!
Blessings,
Sarah
May I ask how you will be implementing Road Trip USA and the Time Traveler Packs? I'm not familiar with either, but they look fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI like reading what others are doing. It is out sixth year homeschooling and I have never done note booking. I'm going to look them up. Thanks.
