I'm almost finished with everything I wanted to do - renovating the house, organizing all the curriculum, going through old school papers, etc. I wanted to take the summer off, but the kids were wanting to start back up again.
We started new curriculum today. But we are working with no schedule. I'm just doing what we have time for and feel like doing for now.
1st Grader
- Explode the Code
- Summer's Lab science (unit on Plants)
- Trail Guide to World Geography
- Originally, I had no intention of doing this with him. It's a year-long unit study curriculum and looking through the content, it looks more appropriate for 2nd grade and older. It's broken into three levels: elementary, middle school and high school. So, you could use this unit study for K-12, technically. I had no intention of using this unit study with the 6 year-old, but once he saw me working on it with the high schoolers, he threw this huge fit and started crying, because he wanted to do it, too. So here we are...adding Trail Guide to World Geography to his curriculum this year. *rolling my eyes*
9th Grader & 11th Grader
- Algebra - 9th grader algebra 1, 11th grader algebra 2
- Language Lessons (Queen's Homeschool - continuing from before our break)
- Independent reading
- Trail Guide to World Geography
- Mapping the World with Art (Mesopotamia)
- Geography questions for Week 1 (we covered one week in one day)
- Living geography book: It's a Jungle Out There
- Piano practice
- Final gymnastics class for the year
After our first day of Trail Guide to World Geography....I LOVE this unit study!!!! This is going to be a great unit study. I don't plan to stretch it out all year, though. I'm planning to finish it this fall at some point and then move on to our Physical Science unit study. I am trying to cover 4 weeks from the teacher's guide per week. I anticipate spending 3 months on it, finishing up with the unit on Around the World in 80 Days.
