I have spent the past two months acquiring curriculum for the boys. So far, I have BJU Reading 1, Heritage Studies 1 and 4, American Republic (8th grade) Space and Earth Science 8, and Pre-Algebra. For 1st grade Math, I am going to use Kumon workbooks. 4th grade Reading and any other otherwise uncovered subjects will be done through www.allinonehomeschool.com (Easy Peasy). 4th grade science will be Pearson Texas Interactive Science. Athos will be taking Spanish 1 this year. I have found a few websites that offer free lessons, as well as Spanish Ed books at a local bookstore I am considering.
Athos and Porthos are attending Drama Camp this month. Athos has the lead villain and Porthos decided to learn about Lighting and Sound, and in the end was a clown. In August, we will start out with Shark Week doing a unit study on the topic. I have printed a bunch of worksheets for that and bookmarked several videos on Netflix for it. Then the following week we will begin our curriculum. I have my calendar pretty much complete. Aramis is looking forward to studying art and has agreed to also learn other topics as well. ;) There is an art museum about 2 hours away, so that will be a day trip for us.
I am really looking forward to this. I think the biggest thing I feel is not figured out is bible time. I am sure it will all come together in time. I know how blessed we are to be in a state that allows such homeschooling freedom, and how much we have been blessed with curriculum. I look forward to sharing this journey with you all.
