Hi, I'm new here. This is our first year homeschooling, and I am feeling very overwhelmed with figuring out curriculum and schedule. So far this is what I have.
*Math- LOF Fractions and Decimals & Pre-Algebra (if we get there)/ Khan Academy
Science- BFSU/ Janice Van Cleave Biology Experiments/ Story of Science: Aristotle/ Usborne's Encyclopedia of Science and Illustrated Dictionary of Science for references
Nature Study: The Handbook of Nature Study (Trees, ?, Amphibions?)/ Story Book of Science
*Spelling: Sequential Spelling
?Vocab: Wordly Wise?
*English: Analytical Grammar/ Beyond the Book Report
*Literature: Age of Fable/ The Lost World/ Kidnapped/ The Incredible Journey/ Legend of Sleepy Hollow/ Rip Van Winkle/ Paul Revere's Ride
Shakespeare: Midsummer Night's Dream/ Tempest
*Poetry: Tennyson, Dickson, Wordsworth
*Copy work
History: Kingfisher spine/ Oup Ancient World/ Voyages Through Time series/ Augustus Ceasar's World?/ Story of the Greeks and Story of the Romans?
*Foreign Language: Spanish (tutor)
*Music: flute- orchestra
Art and Composer Studies: AO schedule
PE: Cross Country or Soccer... We're still in debate.
I know it looks like a lot, but it should come out to about 5ish hours per day. The * annotates daily work.
