Homeschool Curriculum 2012-2013

         So another school year is upon us and I just finished putting together the curriculum for this coming year.

                                                      

          Last year was my first year homeschooling my then 4th and 2nd grader.  I received so much help from www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com.  The advice just gave me the confidence I needed as well as curriculum ideas.  We used Road Trip USA and it was such fun that I've decided to use her Expedition Earth geography curriculum for this year.

         For my 5th grader

1. Spanish- Rosetta Stone
2. English- BJU Press
3. Math- Singapore Math(finishing 4A and then continuing 4B, 5A and 5B)
4. Spelling- All About Spelling
5. Science- Studying Ecosystems and animals based on our geography curriculum.  Also continuing the Young Scientists Kits.
6. Geography/History-Expedition Earth 
7. Literature- Classic Book Study 
8. Music- Piano Lessons  We'll also start The World's Greatest Composer Study
9. Art- To be combined with the Expedition Earth study.  (Studying art from other countries).
10. The Constitution- Lapbook study
11. Copy Work for Handwriting
12. Reading

          For my 3rd grader

3. Math- Singapore Math (3B, 4A and hopefully starting 4B)
