Thinking about our School Year

Posted in The School Room

Last week when we went shopping the library was having their annual book sale, it's by donation.  I stopped to look and picked out a nice box of children's books!  Some of them are for the Before Five in A Row and Five In A Row program we use.  I was so excited about that!  I also found some nice history story books.

We happened to be back in town a few days latter and they were still having the sale.  So I just had to peek again.  LOL  I found another book to go with the B4FIAR and some nice children's farming books!  I'm planning to do a farming unit this fall with the kids.  The International Plowing Match will be in our area and we are planning an all day field trip there.  Dh is really looking forward to that to.  I also picked up some wonderful animal videos for the kids and some documentaries for us.  Dh also picked out a encyclopedia set on natural history.

I'm hoping to get to a homeschool book store this weekend.  My shopping list has been gone over and over..I'm still tweaking it.  So far I'm thinking of getting this:

  • Christian Liberty Nature Readers 1 & 2
  • Bob Books #1
  • Leading Little ones to God
  • Canadian Colouring book
  • FIAR Christian supplement
  • Before FIAR
  • Canada My Country
  • Ecoutez! Parlez! (beginner French)

Our plans this year are:

2 year old.

I'm going to use B4FIAR with her at a slow pace.  Should be fun!

4 year old PreK

  • Teach Your Child to Read 100 Easy Lessons
  • Bob Books
  • B4FIAR
  • FIAR
  • Leading Little Ones To God

6 year old, grade 1

  • FIAR
  • Math U See Beta
  • SOTW 1 (we started this last year and put it on hold for a bit)
  • God's Design for Science, The plant kingdom and human body
  • Leading Little Ones To God
  • Canada My Country
  • Nature Study
  • Copy Work
  • CL Nature Readers

DD6 and 4 will also be starting on some hand crafts, keep working on crochet and maybe simple sewing.

This is very similar to what we used when my babies were young. Now they are 14, 12, 8 and 8. I hope you were able to get some of these books.
Blessings,
Jennie

Absolutely love the program. My oldest is 10 and I still add in books for her. I've done all of the levels. Enjoy them. They make for great family couch time. I'm using them with my younger kids too. I have 7 in all, so far.
