This time last year, I had most of my curriculum and I was furiously putting things together and building lesson plans for each of my subjects.
This year, the books are sitting on the shelf. I have one more order to place this week and I will have most of what I need.
Am I going to build any lesson plans? Maybe. I found that I was getting lazy by the end of the year and just looking at what we did the previous day in order to decide what to do. It was often written on the back of a shopping list or other scratch piece of paper.
Lesson Plans make me accountable, though, so I probably should.
Here is our plan for the year:
Samantha: Sonlight LA4, Sequential Spelling, Reason for Handwriting, Saxon 8/7 and Critical Thinking (Bright Minds), Sonlight Core 4, Developing Critical Thinking through Science, Latin for Children
Michael: First Language Lessons, Spelling Power, Reason for Handwriting, Horizons 2 and 3, Sonlight Core 4, Developing Critical Thinking through Science
They will both take Art from the great art teacher we had last year, Piano Lessons, and PE through the co-op. They are also signed up for Soccer in the fall and Michael will take Tae-Kwon-Do and Samantha will take Dance.
I need to add Health back in (I kept skipping it this past year) and some Religion/Bible Studies, but I haven't quite decided what to do yet, and these are the things that keep getting left behind when I get lazy.
So, there it is, the plan for next year. Is it here yet? |
