For Coleen (7-starting 3rd) Real World Writing, Easy Grammar, HWT Cursive, Sequential Spelling, Art Pacs, Math U See alpha or beta (depending on when we get through alpha, and Child Size Masterpieces
I'm thinking of starting LLATL yellow in a few weeks though and not starting the other language arts things until we're through that.

For Paul (5-starting 1st) Explode The Code, LLATL Red (starting next month), HWT, Brown Bag Science, Art Pacs, Math U See alpha or beta, and Child Size Masterpieces. He's got about 2 months left of 100 Easy Lessons, so we'll start LLATL when he's through with that or its too hard for him.

Katarina (3) Lots of manipulatives, HWT preschool, Beginning Reading At Home, Beginning Math at Home

Baby (coming soon) pure fun and games!!!!

For my children - we had our fifth child a year ago - so I think we are ready to try a bit more of a daily plan - and will be purchasing Oak Meadow - if anyone happens to have grade 6 and 4 and 2 please PM me.....

With our online business and the home, and everything else, I need a bit of daily guidance.

WArm wishes,

I'll be buying the Christopherus Homeschool 1st grade curriculum for 5yo dd as soon as it comes out in June. I :heart: Christopherus. For math we'll be using RightStart, which I also adore.

For 9yo, some 4th grade Waldorf work (man & animal, Norse myths). I'll use Path of Discovery and Christopherus for that. She'll finish all levels of RightStart math this spring; hopefully the Fractions and Geometry books will be written in time for next fall, otherwise I guess it's back to Singapore. For grammar there's Rod & Staff 5th grade.

I'm thinking about REAL Science for biology next year. I'd love to hear what others think of it.

Here is what I am thinking (This may change)

Nyah who will be in K:
Lots of Games
100ez lessons, then Phonics Pathways
Lots of storytime
Misc. Workbooks just for fun
Cuisinaire ABC Book
Listen in on Science and History with Andrew

Andrew who will be in 2nd:
Reading/phonics: ETC 4-6 and Phonics pathways till reading fluently

Spelling/Writing: Spellling workout B and Getty and Dubay C

English: R&S 2 or English for the Thoughtful Child (Haven't decided)

Math: Singapore 2A and 2B supplemented with various stuff I already have

Science: Continue with Living Learning Books 1

History: Beautiful Feet Primary

Other: Continue with Sign language, Do Art projects coordinating with history and Science, Lots of Nature walks, Games and whatever else I come up with.

I haven't completely decided. We'll stick with Waldorf inspired homeschooling. I own the Oak Meadow 1st grade syllabus. I'm ordering Path of Discovery grade 1. I will either be buying Christopherus grade 1 or Enki grade 1. I'm leaning toward Christopherus; I love Christopherus too! I'll take all of these resources and come up with something that works for us.

Peace,

Kimberly

English: Abeka 2, Daily Grams, Writing Strands

Math: Abeka, Singapore as a supplement

History: ??? haven't decided, I bought Abeka only because I went to the motel meeting and love books, lol. I don't really like it though. We've started it and are reading the book everyday so we'll be done by end of summer. After that I'm thinking of doing History of the Horse by Beautiful Feet.

Science: Same with history, I bought Abeka because I caved in. I have it down to two though. Apologia or myworldscience.com

Well, our school year is off track, but right now we're doing:
Singapore 1A
MUS Foundations
LLB Science 1
My Pals are Here Science 3A
a little SOTW I
a little beginning geography skills
studying one other country each month
a little Spanish
a little work with calendars/holidays, etc.
lots of reading aloud
lots of writing practice

By fall, we will probably be doing:
Singapore 1B or 2A
MUS Foundations
My World Science
Science in a Nutshell Water Cycle
My Pals are Here Science 3B
SOTW I
continuing with geography and country studies
continuing with Spanish
still lots of reading aloud and writing practice
maybe beginning US history, as well

Annaliese is 4 and loves to homeschool. We do a lot of science and math (oh, I forgot, we supplement with Miquon workbooks once in a while) because I really want her to build confidence in those areas. Oh, and by fall, I want to increase our library and museum visits to at least one trip to the library each week and one "field trip" every two weeks. Also, she just finished a music class and starts art this month. By fall, she wants to take swim and dance. As long as she's having fun and learning, it's all good. Her big sister unschooled junior high and high school, but that's before my curriculum addiction kicked in. lol

We're using mostly Sonlight. We've already started Core 1 for Reid and Jacob. Brianna will use Core 6. Lauryn is loosely following their PreK Core, and using Earlybird Math from Singapore and HWT. We're also using Sonlight for LA and Science - although I really like the Science 4 Kids that Wendy mentioned above - I think we're going to get that, too.

Brianna is in Saxon Algebra 1/2 and will continue at least through the fall with that, then move into their Algebra.

Reid will be in Singapore Math 4A, Jacob is starting 3A now.

Jacob and Lauryn have French classes with another homeschool mom. We also have Rosetta Stone French.

Chase will continue in public school, where he is very happy and doing well. He's in all enrichment classes and will take Algebra for high school credit this fall at the age of 11. He has decided to take French next year and continue playing his trumpet in band.
