Our state law:5 years old or older and under 16 shall attend a public school regularly during the entire school year unless the child is otherwise receiving regular, thorough schooling during the school year in the studies usually taught in the public school to children of the same age.
It then says: providing regular, thorough instruction during the school year in English, Math, Science, Social Studies, Art, Music, Health and PE.
DH and I feel that she should be taught:
English - Phonics, Grammar, Reading, Handwriting
Math - self explanatory
Science - self explanatory
Social Studies - History we like the SOTW and WTM topics (What is the difference between the two?)
Art and Music - ties into History
Health and PE - ???
Then how do you tie these subjects into a curriculum. I really like Shurley English which we are using with the older kids to get them back on track but I haven't seen anyone else on the board here using it.
Our local homeschool co-op uses Saxon Math and Explode the Code for the 1st and 2nd graders.
