SquirrellyMama Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Here is the plan. Math: R&S 4 English: LLATL Yellow and R&S 3 Spelling: Simply Spelling Reading: Books she and I choose. I don't do comprehension questions. I just ask her periodically tell me about the book or have her read it aloud. Geography: Galloping the Globe Science: Various topics picked by the kids along with Considering God's Creation. History: SOTW 1 (used along with 1st grade bother) Music: We have a recorder book I think I'll start with. I'm hoping get into piano lessons by the end of the year. Art: Meet the masters free online and Free K-6 art lessons online http://www.getinvolvedineducation.com/pdfs/For-Program-Managers/Meet-the-Masters-Program-Manual.pdf http://www.geocities.com/theartkids/artlessons.html Handwriting: Cursive, though I'm not sure which program. Spanish: We do this mainly at meals and when my kids ask me questions about spanish. I have a BA in spanish but want to teach it very informally for a few years. I feel like I'm missing something. We do bible readings from the bible and bible story books but no formal curriculum. We are also doing sewing but it isn't formal either.
