I’m not quite sure how we’ve made it to the seventh week of our homeschool year and I’m just getting around to posting our curriculum choices. But…here I am!
I feel like we’ve gotten into a good routine with school this year. I was a bit anxious about adding Jenny into the mix as a Kindergartner this year, but she’s doing great. I’m exhausted at the end of a every single day, but honestly, it’s a good exhausted.
I didn’t make any drastic changes this year. I’m not a proponent of making changes unless they are absolutely necessary. The biggest change we made was in using Rod & Staff Grammer since First Language Lessons stops at grade 4.
Here is a run-down of the curriculum we are using in our homeschool this year.
