We are beginning our 10th year of homeschooling this September! I am down to just 2 students. I feel like I have SO much free time this year. My curriculum bill was SO cheap and my boxes were so small.
I am super excited about this year and our curriculum choices. Seriously, there is SO much good stuff out there. How is a girl to choose?
I am doing something fairly new to me. I am creating my own continents studies for my 8th grader. There are a ton of resources out there and I couldn’t find anything all packaged up that met what I was looking for! We’ve got art, drawing the continents, history, mapping, research papers, international recipes, games, documentaries, and so much more…My favorite thing I am looking forward to is a book that contains 25 projects enabling the student to design their own country and culture! I MIGHT DO IT WITH HER! We will be studying the wonders of the world, history, culture, geography, famous missionaries, religions and I am sure we will only scratch the service!
For my youngest, we are sticking with our beloved Five In A Row! I will be choosing the books by continent so that we can match up with my older daughters studies, when we can! We have also discovered a new elementary math curriculum that we used last year and absolutely loved. We will be continuing with it for my 2nd grader this year.
