We also use My Father’s World – but I have tons of awesome books I have managed to get for our library and I love to tweak. I’ve seen some very cool things on this forum….if I missed it I apologize – but I am thinking of doing some of the bible studies for girls / boys from Queen Homeschool. Has anybody else done those? That’s something I might add this year – but will just have to see if I can!
Also…I just was blessed with a copy of “Simply Grammar” quite by surprise. I ordered a copy of Primary Language Lessons by Emma Serl on ebay – and got a very decent price for a barely used second-hand copy – and she surprised me by including a copy of Simply Grammar by Karen Andreola in the pkg – I had no idea I was receiving it!! Just wondered if anybody has used and liked this one?
I’ve decided to go through the Bible once more after we finish our initial overview; this will take at least another year.
On my list of RA lit, we’ve finished Winnie the Pooh and House at Pooh Corner. I added Where the Red Fern Grows, which we’re reading now, and Old Yeller. I’ll probably save Henry Huggins books for fun reads next year, when he’s reading independently.
I’m off to a slow start on Artist and Composer Studies. Just can’t seem to remember to do them although it’s staring me in the face on my spreadsheet organizer. We’ve done Beethoven and Mozart.
Although I couldn’t find age-appropriate books on the topic, we probably did civics, too. Our local elections are winding down, and he was fascinated with the campaign signs and who was running for what. He never asked what the court clerks and such did, though. But every time we were in the car and he saw a campaign sign, I had to tell him who I was voting for.
Sometimes I wish I had a blog, but I spend too much time on the computer as it is.
