Summer is over! … But then I suspect you knew that already.
We started homeschooling this week and now the flu has swept in, slowing things down some. At least no one will be behind “the rest of the class” when we get started again.
I spent the better part of the summer researching curriculum and finally settled on a mix of curriculum sources. We are using:
Math-U-See
KONOS
Stick Figuring Through the New Testament
Phonics Road
Artistic Pursuits
and material from the folks at Critical Thinking.
Our science materials are due in any day. We went with Academy of Science for Kids.
KONOS is a unit study format and the other subjects such as literature, history, science and social studies are covered therein. Some of the other subjects like science are also included in the KONOS but I am a bit of a geek/nerd so I really wanted the science kits to play with …. er I mean to use as a teaching aid. Yeah that’s it!
I am loving Math-u-See. What a difference it has made in our understanding!! Thanks for sharing your toolbelt. There is definitely value in finding what works for other families!
