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?
