Okay here it is: I know its not of THAT much interest to some of you, but for my own record book I am going to lay it out! We are starting our 9th year of home schooling. Kaitlin is entering 8th grade, Matt 7th grade and Emily 4th. We are really, really moving out of mommy's comfort zone and happy place this year with more independent work and different curriculum and kids spread about the house working on their own STUFF! I know it might be needed.. but I don't have to like it!
Kate and Matt are together for almost everything.... so first I will list their like studies and then branch into any differences.
Sonlight Core G- World History Year 1
CREATION TO REFORMATION
this covers literature, Bible, scripture verses for the year, History and geography (partial credit)
English-- Sonlight actually includes grammar now also, I have it and we will see about using it.. as of now we will continue with Rod and Staff though...
