Well,  I think that I finally have narrowed down what I will be doing/using this year.  It is always subject to change!  I know all of you homeschoolers know what I mean.    We are expecting again....it was VERY soon after my last miscarriage, we were all shocked.  I am 25 weeks preggo with a boy!!!!  So, I am trying to keep it simple around here.  I only want to do the bare minumum with maximum learning.  I would love your comments....

Austin 11 & Alexa 10

Math- Math U See

Language Arts- Copywork 2x week; dictation 1x week; lots of oral/written and typed narrations that go along with our Science and History studies.  I am using alot of suggestions from BraveWriter, which goes along the lines of Ruth Beechick.

McGuffey Readers- I have him read one story a week and we take most of the above from these stories.

They are also required to read a chapter from a specific novel I have assigned. 

History- Mystery of History w/ lots of notebooking

Science- Apologia Astronomy w/ lots of notebooking; I am doing this with 3 other families in a co-op.

Typing- probably Mavis Beacon

Spanish- Rosetta Stone

Anna 7

Math- Math U See

Language Arts- Copywork and Dictation; Lots of Reading aloud to me

Science, History- same as above... but I don't require as much from her.

We are also working our way through the Five in a Row books, which she narrates to me while I type it out for her and then she illustrates it and puts it in her notebook.

Aspen 2-

Math-  Scattering the blockes EVERYWHERE.... duck, because she may throw one at you

Language Arts-  Scribbling on anything that is near her... couch, table, paper, wall:)

Science-  Eating bugs and dirt.

Well you get the idea....  She keeps everything very interesting!!!!!

I hope to keep you updated on our days....  It is very amusing!!!

we are planning too..... getting ready. Lots to do with these older ones... and the little ones. We have a school/dining room and so I am getting all books organized and all. I do not think we are going to start before the 14th of Aug. Maybe even the 21st..... but my olders want to b/c they want to be done by early May~ with Mandi graduating from homeschool high school, and Michael from college in May that is not such a bad idea! LOL
