The Red Tartan Room

For All the Curriculum Junkies...
I placed all my orders today. There's nothing like waiting until the last minute, don't cha' know. A lot of work went into these orders. I checked "The Well-Trained Mind" for its suggestions. I combed my message boards. I picked the brains of other homeschool moms. I'm very pleased with what I've put together. Here's what we're using this year:
3rd Grade:
Grammar - Rod & Staff English 3
Math - finishing up Saxon 3 & then Saxon 54
Writing - Writing Strands 2
Spelling - Spelling Workout 3
1st Grade:
Reading - Phonics Pathways
Math - Saxon 1
Grammar - First Language Lessons
Common Classes for both grades:
Science - Science 4 by Bob Jones University Press
History - The Light and the Glory for Children trilogy
(American History) and then Story of the World - Volume 1
and Activity Book
Music - Let's Learn Music by Hays
Art - How to Teach Art to Children by Evan-Moore
Spanish - Let's Learn Spanish by Hays
Some of you classical homeschoolers are plotzing, "Where's her latin?!! There's no latin in this list!!!" Yeah, I'm not sure I'm doing latin. To help me decide I also ordered "Heart of Wisdom" by Robin Sampson. The more I learn about Greece and Rome, the less I want them to be a huge influence in my homeschool. I'll address that issue in another post...
