I've been a little on and off my blog lately since I've been working on some school planning more in my evenings. I recently bought a couple of books by Robin Sampson on the Heart of Wisdom approach to homeschooling and have been busy reading. I'm interested in have the Bible play a larger part in our homeschool day and ordering my day putting God first. I appreciate her book "What Your Child Needs to Know" on this topic and have also ordered the Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach to read as well.
So I've got quite a bit of reading to do and praying to do to determine the course of our schooling this year. I still have 1/2 year of "Exploring Countries & Cultures" from My Father's World that I will continue working through. I did that last year at a slower pace for my 2nd grader to work through over the course of 2 years with other things worked in as well. So if I'm not ready with all my plans and thoughts, I'll just keep on doing more of that program while I continue to think through and pray about things.
I also do some schooling throughout the summer. It don't school every day or for as long of a period of time during the days, but I have done some this summer. I won't have a specific, "today we start back to school" day, but just start becoming more consistent with it and sometime maybe have a date when we start doing more each day and start a new fall schedule.
So that's our homeschool plans so far for the year!
