So this year I am trying something new and keeping some old.
We are trying a curriculum called Heart of Dakota. Through this curriculum what I will be following is their Science, History & Spelling Fully. Then I will be using only parts of their Math, Reading & English. I am really liking what I have read in the teachers manual. With Hearts of Dakota they suggest a math and English curriculum but you can use whatever you want to use.
Math- We will be continuing with Life of Fred and adding in worksheets and games. Most of the games I will be using is found in the HOD teachers manual. But there are some online games I found on the Easy Peasy all in one Homeschooling website.
English- We will be using a variety of materials. Grammar Skills workbook (same company as Singapore math), Language Arts Practice Galore skill based puzzles from The Mailbox and Scholastic Read and Practice Mini-books Parts of Speech.
Phonics & Reading- Modern Curriculum Press Phonics Level C, Hearts of Dakota reading list, and some reading comprehension workbooks I picked up.
Science, History & Spelling- We will be using Heart of Dakota and for science I will continue with our Magic school bus science kits.
Cursive- Cursive Writing with a Twist!
The bonus to our work will be continuing with Five in a Row. Samantha and I absolution love this curriculum. Its so much fun to read and learn from these books. I think instead of one week with each book we might stretch it out to 2 weeks just so we are not trying to do too much in a day.
Samantha will continue with Baton, ice skating, the once a month museum homeschool class and hopefully taking music at the school. We are waiting to see what is offered at the local coop and looking forward to the field trips the Life group plans.
I am also going to do a once a week Geography class with some friends. For this we will use Road Trip USA.
