  • Art/Music- This is where the "whatever strikes our fancy" really comes into play.
This is my tentative plan. I am sure things will get added in or changed around as we move along but this is the main bones of it. Lots of things are listed, but I pick and choose from the different resources as the need arises to review or come at things from a different approach. We have list of extra fun things   to add in to each subject as time allows.








2011-2012

I think after endless hours of research, reading and having been glued to my Rainbow Resource catalog I have finally come up with our curriculum for fall 2011-2012. We will be doing Pre-k and K.

Kindergarten:
  • Math- Miquon 1
  • Phonics- Phonics Pathways which we have already started, Explode the code 1 & 2, Bob books
  • Writing- Teaching writing in Kindergarten
  • Geography- Galloping the Globe, Geography Practice wkbk A, Scholastic Success with Maps Gr.1
  • Science- Singapore Science Earlybird start-up
  • NATURE STUDY- I saved the best for last! Burgess bird book for children, Handbook of Nature Study, birdstack.com., and anything and everything the kids find of interest.
For math I also will have lots of other fun manipulatives and games for both of them to use. Beans (3yo dd) is already listening in and participating in phonics but will begin a bit more serious with her in the fall. She really enjoys phonics where Little Man (4yo ds) wants to learn but gets frustrated SO easily. We will all be Galloping the Globe together which I am REALLY excited about. I have always loved History and can not wait to start it in 1st grade but I thought I would take this coming year to introduce it from a geography perspective and of course the history is unavoidable. :) Little Man also loves to draw so I will also be sneaking in some handwritting with Draw, Write Now which we can use for the animals on our gallop.

That seems like a lot writing it down but we will go at our own pace and let it all fall into place. Ahhhh.......the beauty of homeschool!
