I stayed up WAYYYYYYY to late last night, but I made some decisions about our homeschool curriculum. Just a reminder.....I have 7 dc ages 9months, 3,5,6,10,13,and 15. I have the hardest time sticking with any curriculum. We travel to many homeschool conferences with my husband's job....and I see to many options. Anyways,I have finally decided to give My Father's World a try. I ordered their K and ECC (Exploring Countries and Cultures). I might do their highschool stuff too for my two oldest. I don't need the stuff until fall....but I wanted to order it before the tax return money disappeared! I am so excited. I can't wait to use it! This year we used ACE paces. Now before you groan.....they really were a blessing this year. With a new baby and all.....I just really needed a year where the dc didn't need much help from me. And it worked for most of them. In fact, the older two would rather keep doing the PACES. BUT I don't think that they are learning much on the higher thinking/reasoning end of things. So....I am hoping to work on that next year!
My brilliant little 6 year old finished his 2nd grade math PACES last week and has been begging for more math. I ordered Singapore math for him last night. We will give it a try!
Well....off to bed. I have been sick for 33 days now! This cough and sinus junk just won't go away. I think it is lack of sleep!
Check back soon. Tomorrow I will announce the winner of my book! |
