I finally recieved my Konos order on Saturday. I ordered the Classic Obedience and Classic Orderliness curriculums with the timeline characters. I still need to order the timeline, but I can only get a little at a time. I am really impressed with with books, but I haven't had time to delve into them too much. I was sick over the weekend and had a hard night at work on Saturday. I slept most of the day on Sunday and only had enough time to read what I'll be doing for the first week. I decided to do the entire 4 weeks of the Kings and Queens unit, even though we've already been covering this unit for 4 weeks. There is just so many more ideas that I would like to take advantage of. Nathan seemed fine about starting the unit from week one. I just told him that we wouldn't do anything over again unless if it's something we both enjoyed. We will probably hold another English tea party because Nathan's been asking for more tea lately. We may make one more costume too. Probably the Jester costume if I can figure it out. The knight costume may be a bit easier. We'll see.
Here is our plan for the year:
Kings and Queens~8 weeks
Light and Authority~1 week
Horses~6 weeks
Crime and Punishment~1 week
Christmas break from Thanksgiving until New Years. During this time, we may continue LA and Math at a slower speed while we enjoy crafting and preparing for the holidays.
Seasons/Solar System~7 weeks
Country of Nathan's choice for our homeschool group presentation~4 weeks
Rock/Plant/Animal Classification~6 Weeks
We'll probably pick a Konos-in-a-bag to do over the summer. My plan is to go year round so there's less stress to "fit it all in."
Hopefully I can add this week's schedule to my blog by tomorrow. |
