I was up super late getting my plans in order for school to start! We are going to start on the 17th (actually, on the previous Friday to get the boys prepped). I am still working on lessons plans for History (waiting on one of the books), but I have all of the other subjects mapped out for first 3 weeks! I need a couple more nights in order to finish up and get all of my handouts all ready to go.
I fluctuate between being excited and being terrified for my sanity! We are going today to meet a homeschool group at Fort Yargo for swimming at the beach there. I've been part of their email group for a while now and I'm excited to go meet some of them face to face! We have a friend who is also homeschooling, so hopefully we will have plenty of activities and events to keep the kids (and me) engaged and social.
The plan for the year is:
(Daily)
Spelling - 1000 Words for Spelling Success
Creative Writing Journal
Reading/Phonics using the Hooked On Phonics 1st Grade Curriculum
Singapore Math 1A and 1B
(M/W/F)
History using a modified History Odyssey, which uses the Story of the World, The Encyclopedia of World History, and various other books... I'm also adding the Story of the World Activity Book and History Pockets. We will be learning about Ancient Civilizations for the entire year... The First People through The Last Emperor of Rome.
Violin (I may add some music theory or use piano, too)
(T/Th)
Science using Real Science 4 Kids Pre-Level 1 Chemistry to start and then Biology later in the year. Very cool!!
(Floating)
Art
Spanish using DVD
PE/Health (come on, I'm a health teacher!)
Social Studies
