Our New Curriculum Choices

As I said in my last post, we have made some changes to our curricululm.  As much as I love the idea of Winterpromise, it just isn't working for us.  I have taken what was working for us and the parts of their schedule that we liked and put together my own schedule.

 

Julianna is going to Homelink 2 days a week.  She is doing her history and science there.  They are also working on grammar and writing, reading and math manipulatives 1 day each.  At home we are using the following:

 

Math - Abeka 2

Phonics - Adventures in Phonics (Don't necessarily love this, but it came with the WP Language arts that we purchased)

Grammar - Write Source

Vocabulary - Wordly Wise

Spelling - Spellingtime.com (Julianna loves this)

Reading - Abeka 2 Readers

 

Isabella is doing parts of the WP I'm Ready to Learn and Kindergarten Phonics.  We have chosen what we liked best about the 2 programs and put together our own.

 

Phonics/Reading - Explode the Code, Jump Right Into Reading and Alphabet Art

Math - Abeka K (This is a little too advanced for her so we are slowing down and working mostly on number recognition right now)

Sing! Play! Create! - This is the core for her Kindergarten fun.  Right now we are finishing up our unit on the Farm.  Each week we learn about a new animal with songs, games and crafts.  All 3 of my children are enjoying this.

 

Now that we are just about 2 months into school, I think we have finally gotten into a routine that is working.  We are also going to add cooking/home ec for the girls on Fridays.  I will post our new schedule soon.  I love the flexibility homeschool allows.
