so based on @wendyroo and @medawyn sounds like maybe I can get them all 3 to do BFIAR OR FIAR vol 1 and then math/phonics/ handwriting with DD5. I was really wanting to try Sonlight because Inwas drawn to the history lit/readers for their new K HBL/core. If I liked it I wanted to pursue it for all 3 by level 1/3 to have them on the same HBL together and then do their individual subjects. Is this not the correct thought process? Wait until DD5 is 6 or 7 and try with all 3 girls? Science/Geo was definitely optional and we want to do 4 day K and do a coop on Fridays. Maybe I’ll just do the readers from FIAR and/or Sonlight K HBL/core because I think DD5 would love the books! I know the new homeschool mom in me is drawn to the schedule and organization on Sonlight, but it would be cheaper and easier just to go off their book list, so I’m all for that!

first time homeschooler, with DD who just turned 5. Won’t be surprised if this all changes by Fall 😆 Phonics/Reading: Abeka K5 and/or Explode the code and other beginning readers History: Sonlight history/bible/lit core K (new for 2020) Math: TGATB K Handwriting: TGATB K or HWOT K Geography: Evan Moor Beginning Geography Science: MB adventures in creation 1 DD5 is doing 100EZ now and we’re doubling up lessons in the beginning because it’s too slow for her, she’s devouring the Usborne very early readers we have and scrambling to keep up with her. She also has a Spectrum hands on PK math book she will finish mid summer I think. I’m contemplating doing Abeka K4 math and phonics during the summer to see if she’s ready for K5. Also will try out HWOT kick start K this summer to see how she likes it. Probably too optimistic considering i have twins DD3 and i’m considering BFIAR for their pre school. Too much? DD5 brings me readers every day excited and I don’t want to loose that momentum!
