swellmomma Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 NEOE Chemistry I Elementary Apologia Astronomy Elementary Apologia Zoology 1 (yup going to be a science filled year by the children's request) and if we ever get to it SOTW2, I saw if we ever do because we have already spent all year on SOTW1 and are still on the egyptians, they love to stop and fully explore a topic which I support but it really drags out a program Jolly Phonics, while I have recently started using this, I am counting it towards next year as we already had out year end portfolio review for this year.

................... Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Miquon looks like so much fun. In fact we did complete enough of it last year to know that it's fun. I just didn't have the time and patience for double maths, but I really think Miquon is best for my son. So i finally decided to use it as my ds' main math program. I feel this is risky...it's just so different! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I have three things I really want to succeed next year because if they do then I will be happily settled into some long-term choices for my girls in most subjects. TOG -Using year 2 units 1 and 2 at half-pace. R&S grammar - If this works, I am set for a few years in grammar. IEW theme based writing lessons - using the Fables, Myths, and Fairy Tales next year with the middle child after happily doing SWI-C with the oldest. If this works for us, then our writing program is settled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo. 1 MFW ECC (a break from history will hopefully be just what the dr. ordered) AAS (something has to work!) We've changed so much this past year.
