Lisa in SC Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) I'm looking forward to learning what others have planned, too. We're following TWTM pretty closely this year. We shall see how this goes. :D The plan for us is: OPGTR followed by FLL when we hit the appropriate lesson AAS WWE level 1 RS math (supplemented with miquon and LoF on Fridays) SOTW book 1 with AG DK First Animal Encyclopedia, Green Thumbs, and The Kingfisher First Human Body Encyclopedia Telling God's Story 1 Atelier for art Piano lessons Zaner-Bloser Handwriting We use the library heavily for all sorts of books, etc. Also, we'll supplement with fun things like Happy Phonics, Reading Eggs, art books, Met performances at the movies, RS math games, etc. Edited May 28, 2012 by sclisa forgot to add handwriting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillyMama Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) We're doing: ETC AAS OPGTR SOTW/TOG Year 1 Easy Classical- Animal/Plant/Human Body FLL-1 WWE-1 Singapore Math I've picked up Artistic Pursuits, but as of right now we haven't fit it into our schedule. We do year-round school, May-April, so I'm hoping by the Fall we'll have a better system down so we can add it in then. We may join CC in the fall, for the social and practice/reinforcement. I'll probably just add the memory work for 10-15 minutes into our calendar time, but not do much more outside of the weekly meeting. But I have the Foundations 1 book that we're starting to go through to do some of the memory work. My kids aren't very good at memorizing, so I'm trying to go slowly through it, taking a whole year.

I am trying, thanks to Inter-Library-Loan to get as many read-alouds as I can and flesh out the subjects. http://www.biblioplan.net/ “BiblioPlan's curriculum is Christ-centered, literature-based, easy to follow and inexpensive.†It pigeon-tails with Story of the World; offering more extra reading, and syncing Bible History with the SOTW chapters. I only bought the teachers guide. I wanted the synergized schedule of the Bible and SOTW and all the additional reading. I am really excited; about the additional options we’ll have. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0794528333/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details -- The Usborne Encyclopedia of World History.

We will be covering “old†US history (Viking till I am not sure) as our Social Studies. We feel it is important to look at the US yearly; but we also feel it is important to remember we are alone on this globe. I had NO world history or cultures till high school and not much then. My kids are going to study the US and our place in time, history and the world at-large from the start. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0975290878/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details SCIENCE SonLight Science Level A: http://www.sonlight.com/ASG.html Biology, Botany, and Physics. they rate it as Kindy to 2nd level so it will be a soild fit for First Grade. I really need an open and go science, science is not by best. Daddy does a lot of science with them, but I feel we need something a bit more directed and orderly.
