We started with the 3rd grade DVD of Home Art Studio and love it! I wish we had started with the K level. I think she has a few sample lessons on her site to try out the program. I am also interested in hearing about Harmony Art Mom's art and music program for use later. It looks good.

I'm not, but I should be. I pushed it off to next Monday.....

Very valid point, Michelle. It would take time to line it up. I just cheated and used the timeline pages in the DK's Children's Encyclopedia of American History. It was easier to figure out when in history some books and events took place. GuestHollow might be more of what you are looking for.

Why not use the Sonlight schedule you have, but add in the fun stuff from Guesthollow? (She does have a lot more fun stuff. And I think that makes the days better for the kids and they retain more.) Cross out anything in the schedule (Sonlight) you don't like. Then take a couple of hours perusing Guesthollow's suggestions and add them onto your Sonlight schedule where they would fit in best. This is coming from a girl who loves to tweak till I'm happy with the results. Just warning you. :laugh:

Wow, Jenn, generous as always! Looks great; thank you!!!!! :hurray:

Too many good ideas!!!!!!

Thank you, boscopup, for your quick response. I prefer to be "completely on our own". :laugh: Just wondered if they had that option for our oldest.

We are moving and are considering relocating to Alabama (to be closer to my parents). This will be my oldest's 10th grade year. He actually wanted to try PACyber (we currently live in PA) this year because he loved their course selection. A lot of computer and design courses that would be a stretch for this mama to teach. ;) I was wondering if there was anything offered like this in the state of Alabama. We have a lot of options like this in Pennsylvania, but liked PACyber because he can work at his own pace.

We enjoyed Artistic Pursuits, but you can't do that every year. It gets boring; we needed a change of pace. I love the chalk lessons on Hodgepodge's blog. They are fun! Now I'm checking out Home Art Studio since it received so many votes. :)

I've always loved Patrick Stewart, but now I adore him! He is so eloquent and real.

I love this! They are bringing books to Moore, OK. That is just so sweet!

I'm at booth #515 Wholeshare. Please stop by and say hi. I'd love to meet some fellow forum members!

Thank you, Skeeterbug. I love those links!

This is a great idea! I don't have a list to offer, but what about the Dewey Decimal system as a base? http://mcpl.info/childrens/how-use-dewey-decimal-system It would definitely make them branch out i n their interests and get more familiar with the library.
