And so far we've been very successful. I thought I might take the opportunity to share what curriculums we are using this year. A lot of what we use is based on recomendations from The Well Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jesse Wise and Susan Wise Bauer.
Gavin started his first real year of school this year. He is working on a PreK/early Kindergarten level. He is working in Rod & Staff Preschool ABC Series, Phonics Pathways, Handwriting Without Tears (currently in the orange book, but we'll probably repeat it), Go For the Code, and various other materials pulled from websites and books. He is still enthusiastic about his work which is encouraging.
The girls are using the same curriculums just at different levels, so I'll list them together (Lauri/Alyssa):
Spelling :Spelling Workout (level B/level F)
Grammar: Rod & Staff (grade 2/finishing grade 3-soon to be starting on grade 4)
Math: Singapore Math (2A/4A)
History: Story of the World Vol 2 (we are about halfway done with this)
Science: We are doing a review with materials and assignments I have pulled together myself. We are quickly going through types of animals, the human body, and earth science before we start on early Chemistry.
Latin: We are joining a newly formed Latin co-op using Minimus Latin. This will start mid-September.
This pretty much covers it. We are also going to be loosely studying American History this year. I'll try and post some of the kids' work, but I'm not sure how the scans will show up on this site.
