I have decided to transition our family to a year round schedule. We have been busy with added responsibilities around here and do want to participate more actively in our local homeschooling group. I went ahead and bought:
Apologia Elementary Science Zoology 1 and kit
Prairie Primer and related Laura Ingalls Wilder material
TruthQuest American History
an extra set of Ray's Arithmetic 2nd grade, and the textbook
I want to space out the rest of the Classical Curriculum to every other day, rotating the reading and writing workbooks. I really want to make sure that my 6 yo has reading down pat...and my 7 yo is struggling with some of the math facts and the basic operations with regrouping...
I think it's really important that they grasp these early basic ideas rather than be in a rush to "get it all in." We will then be done with 1st grade and 2nd grade in December.... |
