Reminder: I'm switching blogging sites and this is an oldie but a goodie... enjoy!
Ok. I finally did it! The first real step for my family and I considering homeschooling. I have researched it over and over. Now of course this might change next year after we've used it. But that is next year.
Aiden is finishing up first grade, and let me tell you, I am anxiously waiting for him to finish! We will have a break after school is over, but probably start back up mid-summer.
I am planning on us doing a 4-day school week. I have made a schedule so far and this should be a good starting point. I think...
2014 - 2015 Curriculum
Language Arts & Reading - A Beka
Math - A Beka
Science - Apologia
Social Studies
History - TBD... ok I know I said I figured it out, but there's still some more digging considering these subjects.
Geography
I have just recently purchased a book called What Your Second Grader Needs to Know by E.D. Hirsch Jr.. I felt like I needed to make sure that my child was receiving everything he needed educationally. The whole point of homeschooling is because this decision is best for Aiden and the family. I definitely didn't want Aiden to miss out on any knowledge that he would otherwise have in public school.
I haven't received any of these materials yet, but as soon as I do I will blog about my first impression.
Have a great week!
