All Straightened Out - ha not

Did I say we had most of next year's curriculum figured and that we were putting all our eggs in one big basket! Silly me... In the last couple days I've been skulking around the internet looking at ideas and places and things, and suddenly I find myself in an uproar over what we will really use! So get back to me around September if you want to see what we really end up doing.

For now I'm happy with our LA
Grammar

Creative Writing - writing process

Reading - comprehension, sequencing and literary response

Vocabulary through reading

Penmanship


LA- I'm testing out a sample Literature unit from Moving Beyond the Page.

SCI - We're gonna hang with the K-12 Science curriculum because I can work with it and add or take away stuff as I see fit. I like that everything is housed there including experiments and activities that make it seem more than just textbook work!

SOC ST. - I may yet end up with an embellished form of the Story of the World for History or I may slink back to K-12 for History - I'm just not sure what I want there.

MAT - Math - we're leaning to K-12, but I could if the right curriculum jumped up and bit me on the hand run with something else - ideally not terribly workbook related - but definitely on par with what is being taught in the schools.

MUS / ART - I'm at a loss, so I need to skulk around some more with my main focus on this! We've got ART covered in some of the classes that she takes, and its something she comes by naturally but MUS.... *sigh* MUSIC I suck at!

Ah well, all good plans need to be revised.... so we have some more leg-work to do!
