Yes, I know...curriculumoholic is not a real word. It is a real problem that many of us homeschoolers deal with. Especially newbies like myself. We want to find the "perfect" curriculum and even after we find something that works, we keep looking for something better. We constantly wonder if the grass is greener on the other side. So I constantly scan through homeschool curriculum catalogs. Now, I know certain things will never work in my home. My son will not sit down and read textbooks or work in workbooks all day long. I enjoy learning from living books and I like hands on activities. I've decided though to change my curriculum a bit though. Right now, we are using Konos as our main curriculum with Math-U-See and LLATL (learning language arts through literature). I'm happy with all of it, though I feel like I need something with a bit more built in structure. I sometimes get overwhelmed with the planning required from Konos. It fits Nathan's kinesthetic learning style, but it doesn't fit my teaching style very well. I've decided to order from Sonlight again. We used Sonlight when Nathan was in Kindergarten. I enjoyed it, but I was so green and didn't really know what I was doing. I blamed the curriculum, but looking back I realized that I just needed to be more prepared for the journey. Anyway, I am ordering  the Core 3 (4 day schedule) for Nate and we will be starting it hopefully in about 2 months. I have to buy the items slowly since it is an expensive curriculum and I'm not made of money. I think it will be worth it though. So here's how I'm planning my schedule once I start Sonlight.

Monday~Sonlight, MUS, LLATL, co-op

Tuesday~Sonlight, MUS, LLATL

Wednesday~Konos, Math and Language Arts games

Thursday~Sonlight, MUS, LLATL

Friday~Sonlight, co-op

We'll see how this schedule will work for us. I kinda told Nathan that we wouldn't be doing "school" on Fridays since we have our co-op that morning. I hate to go back on my word, but I really feel that this schedule will work well for us. It will give a good break in the middle of the week to do some fun activities. I may try to make the Konos day coincide with our Sonlight schedule or I may just choose a topic and run with it for those days. Not sure yet. I'm very excited though. Hopefully I can lay down the catalogs for a bit.
