The School Year Is Planned!

Always feels good to have the year mapped out! Here's the plan:

Horizons for reading, writing, spelling and math.

KONOS unit studies for everything else.

Astronomy & Constellations (non-KONOS...just putting something together)
Planets/Moon/Calendars/Seasons
Rock Classification
Kings & Queens
Military
Christmas
Crime & Punishment
Plant Classification
Valentine
Indians
Easter
Explorers/Navigation/Ships

For the summer I am hoping CurrClick.com has a couple more "Continental Hop" units completed as the kids have enjoyed those. We've skimmed the surface on Africa, Australia and S. America so far. Very fun.

We also do a few things around the Iditarod each year. We have our map showing the odd/even trails and choose two mushers to follow each day. Always fun! We were able to take advantage of a field trip to visit our vet this year as he was a volunteer and he shared photos and answered questions.

Will also throw in some generic arts/crafts when the unit doesn't call for as many as my kids love to be making something.

Looks like a great plan! I've always been curious about Konos. Let me know how you like it. -Karen
