We officially started our homeschool year on Friday.  We are going to have a busy year this year.  We use Sonlight, and are currently on the core 3 program, which is Intro to American History.  This year the books I will be reading to the boys are:

And for history:

And the readers the boys will be reading on their own (even though Morgan is only 6 he is reading at about the same level as Tristan):

And our science books are:

We will also be using sequential spelling, Singapore math, Rosetta Stone Spanish I, Muzzy Spanish, and English from the Roots up - Latin/Greek.  We will be doing Atelier Art at least once a week for a creative outlet.  We also have some fun computer math games, like Rainbow Rock, Vroot and Vroom, and Quarter Mile Math that the boys can do.  Of course we will be doing some poetry and scripture memory work as well.

For Bible and missionary stories we will be reading:

The Bible

Catching their talk in a box

Wisdom with the Millers

Gladys Aylward

Whew, I'm getting tired just looking at this list.   Its going to be a fun year. (all these books are linked because I copied the lists from Sonlight.com instead of typing them all out).  For any homeschoolers unfamiliar with sonlight, all these books listed are real books, none are "textbooks".   Great classic books that make learning fun.

We are really blessed in Alaska to be part of a correspondence school that reimburses our curriculum expenses.  It is considered a public school, so our Christian books aren't included, but it has been a huge blessing for the core subjects.  I meet with a teacher monthly and hand in samples, report cards quarterly.

We will also be doing some PE/extracurricular stuff, but we aren't signed up yet.  Probably gymnastics, but we'll see...
