I feel like I'm always planning, looking for books, and putting it all together despite the SCM framework we use. I decided I don't want to have to do this for each of my four kids, esp. when each would use many of the same resources.
I've decided to write up some course outlines for each subject for our family. What I am hoping to do is to make a plan for each subject area that carries through PreK - Grade 6 (eventually 12). This would be my personal curriculum guide as it were, pulling from SCM and misc. other sources. This won't be set in stone as I could always discover a new resource or need to change something for one kid, but I hope will free me up from reinventing the wheel each time a new kid rises through the ranks. What do you guys think? I welcome feedback!
So far, I've almost finished the Bible & Personal Development Course. I include it to show you where I am headed with this idea.
Blessings,
Christie
Also, if I can get ready through grade 5 or six, I can simply add a year as my dd gets older, but be ready for the three littles, thus cutting my yearly planning time by 3/4!
Really, this is very well done! I also would like to see how you lay out the other subjects - keep us posted!!
