Hello everyone. I will begin HS next year. I have 4 children (ds6, ds5, dd3, dd2). My sons are in a private school that teaches the classical approach. I want to continue that. I have been looking at choices for over a year and need a little help from y'all. :confused:
Here is what I do know (I think I am sure on these.:lol:)
Math: Math U See, Life of Fred, and supplement with Kumon
Phonic/Spelling: All about Spelling, Dorbooks
Science: AIMS at this time b/c of age of my kids, but any input is welcome here
Grammar: need ideas here
Art:? (would like something b/c my oldest loves art)
Here is where I need help.:crying: I know I need to relax and i am sure I will once I start HS, but right now... well, you know. Okay. I like BiblioPlan and TOG. BUT TOG is overwhelming and although it looks good and I might revisit it later...I just can't take that on right now. Other mamas say to just use what you want, to break it down into smaller pieces, but I don't know how to do that. And honestly, I don't know if I want to know. LOL
So BiblioPlan. I have read a lot of helpful threads here and thus led to more questions. Here they are?
1.) I see people saying they are using BiblioPlan with SOTW (is that correct... just learning what all the letters mean). What exactly are they doing with both? Is SOTW being used as a supplement to BiblioPlan?
2.) Do you like the Bible portion/lessons of BiblioPlan?
3.) What other subjects am I going to need to cover in HS ages 6, 5, 3 (not really schooling her yet...just doing a lot of play with her)?
4. What planners do you use? (hard copy or on computer)
5. I have seen HST+ on many threads. What is that?
Thank you so much ladies!! I eagerly await your replies. :bigear:
