So this coming school year we will have PreK (5 in November), 1st grade and 4th grade, and a tiny tot!
It’s hard to believe this will be my 5th ‘official’ year of homeschooling! Time flies!
So we’ve decided on the following: (*indicates it will be done together, all ages)
4th Grade:
Writing: IEW we will finish with the current program and also begin using Medieval Based Writing Lessons
Grammar: Continuing with Fix It Grammar by IEW and IXL (See our review)
*History: Pandia Press History Odyssey Middle Ages Level 1 and Veritas Press online self-paced history Middle Ages, Renaissance and Reformation
Math: CTC Online Math, I really needed him to have something more independent this year. See our review
*I’m also go off of the Middle Ages theme and using some Sir Cumference living math books!
*Science: Visual Learning Systems Digital Online Science (focus on Physics and Chemistry). We will also be using K’NEX Education Simple Machine Kits
Spelling: All About Spelling, but we are hoping to land a review with Phonetic Zoo from IEW (fingers crossed).
Chinese: Rosetta Stone
Handwriting: Memoria Press New American Cursive (finish up) as well as Draw and Write Through History: The Vikings, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance
*PE: Mixed Martial Arts, Swimming, Soccer (Fall)
*Music: We will listen to a wide variety of Music, focusing on the Renaissance Era. We will also be using Hands On History Activity Pak: Composers
C will read (as part of Music):
*Art: Completing projects associated with history lessons, focus on Renaissance period artists and architecture.
*Religion: C is working on the New Testament. As a family we have devotional each morning, we sing a Primary song, read from the scriptures (currently Book of Mormon) and we read from The Friend magazine.
1st Grade:
Math: Life of Fred, Math Seeds
Reading: Reading Eggs, Early Readers and Supplemental Activities
Handwriting: Horizons 1st Grade Penmanship Set (Review coming soon), though he is also asking about Cursive, so we may try Memoria Press New American Cursive
Spelling: I may start spelling this year (but later on) and will use All About Spelling
PRE-K:
Animal Trackers with supplemental activities (get a coupon by downloading my Safari Printable Pack)
He really likes animals, and we need more ABC practice, so I’m also considering Animal ABCs from 1+1+1=1, I think my 2yo would like this as well. So it would definitely be worth the $10!
Star Wars workbooks for fun
AND SOME FUN FOR ALL
