Well, I have finally, yes finally made the decisions about curriculum for this year. I couldn't believe how hard it was. The main problem is that there are way to many choices. I have searched and researched everything out there. So here are my final choices:
For my son who I will call TT from now on:
Rod and Staff for Reading, Language Arts, Vocabulary, Math, and Art
Real Science 4 Kids Chemistry
Natural Speller for Spelling
Story of the World, KONOS and Unit Studies created by me for Social Studies ( including notebooking and lapbooks)
Sponge Bob Typing Software for Typing
In addition we will read several great books that go along with our unit studies.
For my daughter who I will call Poogie I have chosen:
Rod and Staff for Phonics, Bible, Art and Handwriting.
Pathway Readers and Bob Books for Reading along with numerous read alouds.
The Complete Book of Numbers for Math ( I will also use hands on activities and games)
Unit studies for Science and Social Studies. (I will adapt TT's unit studies and science lessons to fit her needs and learning level)
Whew! I feel better now that I have chosen and ordered everything. I am ready to get it all and start planning my year. I plan on publishing some of my unit studies on my blog. I hope to share some of my info with others. The information I have found on other blogs has been so helpful I hope I can do the same for others.
