I wanted to share my **tentative** plan for next year's curriculum. I won't decide for sure until september (our school year has just started for us), but as a curriculum junkie I can't help but think about it now. So, for now, my plan is this:
LA: Spell to Write and Read
Math: continue with living math supplemented by either Singapore or Horizons. The only reason I would get Horizons is if we were done with our other Singapore and not yet ready to move on to the next level.
Literature: Oh, goodness gracious our read-alouds is a very long list. Maybe I'll post it on my sidebar soon.
Science: I have Sonlight Science K. I really like Elemental science. I don't know. : )
History: We really aren't going to do much of this. I bought a 3 book set of geography skills from evan-moor that we will use, but that's it. I feel that the most important things in the early years are reading, writing, and math. Therefore, I will be focusing on those 3 things and going easy on our other studies.
Art: I have all of the art supplies for Artistic Pursuits K bk. 1. Hopefully, I will get my butt in gear to do it. My daughter loves art, so I really need to do it for her. However, an artist friend of mine has agreed to give our children art lessons, so we may do that instead.
Tapestry of Grace. I will probably be purchasing this in September to look over and explore as well as to start my own self-education. I don't plan to actually use it in 1st grade, though. I plan to mostly use SOTW for first grade and maybe even 2nd grade pulling in some stuff from TOG, but using it for myself more than anything. I also want to get familiar with it before using it full-force.
Hmmmm.... looking at it all written out...I still have a lot of decisions to make before September. I'm glad it's so far away. I'll probably change my mind a thousand times before September. What are you going to be using next year?
