Homeschool Curriculum for 08-09

We are finishing up our first 1/2 year. We started homeschooling in January, 2008. It has been a journey that Ali & I have enjoyed. We have 2 more days this week and 2 days next week and we will have our 180 days required. Ali has done an excellent job in all subjects, and I am so proud of her.

Next year we will be starting with 4th grade level books. I have chosen the ones listed below:

Science - Apologia Botany (and I plan on doing a nature notebook also) *ordered

Math - BJU Press Match 4 *ordered

Language - Abkea 4

History - Story of the World VOL I (Ancient Times)

Spelling - BJU Press Spelling 4 Kit *ordered

Reading - I am not following any list or curriculum. I hand picked some books and we will be writing short reports on each. Narnia series, A Christmas Carol, Charlotte's Web, Anne of Green Gables, The Littles, and the Nancy Drew Series.

Bible - Boy have I got problems *ordered

I also plan to do more Art and possibly a Music class or lessons. I know it sounds like alot but we are not planning to cover every subject everyday and we will work at our pace. Part of why I love Homeschooling!!!

That sums up our plans for next year. Now I just have to decide when to start. I am thinking mid-July, but we will see!!!

Have a Great Thursday!
