for our upcoming homeschool adventures. The kids and I met with the IST yesterday to pick up everything we didn't have on hand. On the way home, the children were looking through everything with great excitement - just hope it lasts! I also decided we're going with a short lesson approach (ala Charlotte Mason) rather than block scheduling, at least at first, and I made this spiffy document. Now I just need to put a bunch of books on hold at the library (since I finally paid off my overdue fines, oops).
I then spent some time last night, when the kids were asleep and therefore calm, thumbing through things, figuring out how I want to approach each subject with each child. For example, with the Fairy, I am kind of mixing Oak Meadow kindergarten and first grade, along with a variety of supplements. I think, hope, I have it all balanced.
Now if I could just be this organized about my own book work!
Have you ever seen the Charlie Brown cartoon where Lucy is trying to figure out Charlie Brown's phobia? She finally gets it and he yells, "THAT'S IT!!"
ReplyDeleteThat's how I felt when I saw that link you left on my blog comments for the PB&J blog. That's the one. Thanks!
And, I love your spiffy document!
