Anything new in 2013?

We had a wonderful Christmas Break! We hope you did too! Now that the 2013 is upon us and we are all settled in it's time to get back to school!

Are you adding (or subtracting) anything mid-school year? (Please comment for me!)

We are!
  • I am adding Mad About Jesus Laboratories to supplement with Science and Christian Teachings.
  • I also re-did our Homeschool Schedule. My son is not too interested in History right now so I docked it down to 2 days per week. He loves his Geography so I threw it in but I still cannot seem to find a great time for it. We will see how this week goes.
  • I also re-did the way in which I will be teaching Spelling/Writing/Grammar/Reading.
  • I finally purchased an art curriculum.I went with See the Light. My son enjoyed the demo lesson online (+ the reviews were all great) so it is sure to be a hit in our home.
  • PE! I finally incorporated some structured, scheduled physical education time. Both of my boys enjoy working out, soccer, and basketball. So we will get our feet wet with those on Mondays & Thursdays.
  • Last but not least....I joined a local homeschool group! I am already please with the calendar and types of events we will attend with other homeschoolers.
  • Over break, I created a simple Books of the Bible chart. Feel free to use, share, or print!
