We finished our year in less than a year and had a month and a half holiday. Now we will be starting our new year, trying to catch up on the Northern Hemisphere schedule....
This year we will continue with my Father's World curriculum "Exploring countries and cultures"
I am also adding My Father's World Grade 1 curriculum for Jac as an extra (not going to do everything in there, but just some of it)
We are also doing Apologia Science, this is extra science work and we will do it over a two year period.
Each child has their own book from which they will work.
Zane is doing Human Anatomy
Jac is doing Astronomy (no surprise here)
Neo-Rie will do Zoology 1
For English language we are doing Learning language through literature. We started last year with this curriculum and I find it very easy to do and the kids love it.
I am starting Jac on grade 2 level although he is only in grade 1 because the grade 1 level is too easy for him. So he is doing the Red book
Maths this year is still Singapore maths. We started this as well last year and switched from an Afrikaans curriculum to an English one. We are still doing it in both languages so that they have the vocabulary in both.
The Afrikaans for Grade 1 and 3 is still the "Lekker Lees reeks" I believe this is the best way to teach the kids the basics.
For Zane I have switched to Platinum Grade 6
For History I got 2 great books from Sonlight!
For Handwriting I have decided to do Handwriting without tears. For Jac to start writing correctly and for Neo-Rie to form her cursive letters correctly
For Music we will be doing the book:
I was also given the gift of the first edition of Piano Wizzard, so my kids will start with that and let's see how it goes.
They will still attend Macedonian language lessons twice a week
We are also working on Virtues this year with "We choose virtues"
This will be an exciting year for us - the first time I was able to plan a whole year ahead - no I hope I can stick to it!
Thanks for sharing, nice post! Post really provice useful information!
