Okie-dokie,
folks,
here is the curriculum the kiddos and I are using
for the 2012-2013 Homeschool Year.
Some of the subjects we have already been working in
for about a month,
and others we will be gradually adding into
our school schedule over the next few weeks...
**************************************
Jungle Girl's 5th Grade Curriculum:
Bible
Finishing up
(Jungle Girl will start this course
after she has completed
How to Study Your Bible for Kids)
Side note:
My daughter LOVES doing this devotional!
The author, Yancy,
is a singer/song writer
who leads worship at a pre-teen event
called Super Start,
which is where I picked up this book
along with the CD.
We typically alternate the devotional
book with the Bible Study book throughout the week.
Math
Reading
Novel studies using
The Chronicles of Narnia.
She will be doing a lapbook for each of the novels.
I found a few for free HERE,
and bought the rest from HS Highlights.
Copywork
I found the book above at a local thrift store.
It is full of great quotes from the Narnia series,
so Jungle Girl has been practicing her cursive writing
by copying different ones daily into a notebook.
English and Writing
(To be started in late August-
and I may be adding some other writing ideas
with this too as the year progresses.)

Baby Girl will also add devotional readings

Scripture Memory Box
We are using the Charlotte Mason
Scripture Memorization Technique
this year-
It-is-AWESOME!
I feel so much more "powerful" memorizing scripture
in this fashion,
and I am noticing an excitement in my kiddos
to know God's Word better.

Confessions of a Homeschooler's
Road Trip USA
State Study.
We hope to complete 2 states a week

but that way we can study 4 to 6 weeks
on our home state of Tennessee.

I hope to teach the kiddos some of the

Read Alouds
I mean,
really,
WHAT homeschool curriculum is
complete without some good, old fashioned
read alouds?

ReplyDeleteHi from the blog hop! We use the I See Sam readers as well. My son started about a year ago and really took off with them. Great ideas. Best wishes to you this year!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear how they do with The HObbit, Jeff and I were just discussing that.
