"And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live." Deuteronomy 30:6

but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Curriculum 2011-2012

When people ask me what our curriculum is this year I think I need to ask them how long they have to listen. LOL We are a hodge podge this year.

Devotion: Leading Little Ones to God

Bible: AWANA
         Bible Stories A-Z
I am trying to coordinate all of this and really use it, not just memorize the verses.

Character: Peacemaking Skills for Little Kids
               Our 24 Family Ways

Phonics:
Josiah: Primary Language Lessons & reading aloud
Katie Jo: My Father's World 1st grade
Eli: learning one letter a week using the Bible Stories A-Z

Math:
Josiah & Katie Jo: moving to Singapore we think. It is on its way in the mail.
Eli: recognizing at least 1-10

Science:
Science Wiz Chemistry: Solids, Liquids, Gases (lasts about 4-5 wks)
My Father's World science (Usborne books)

History:
Planning on taking a month and doing a study on "Little House in the Big Woods"
Taking a couple weeks and going a Highlights Top Secret Adventure
(no science during these studies)

Extras:
Drawing with Children
Crafts here and there to do with Bible story
Thankful notebooks
Life Skills (chores)


We will not do every subject every day. The devotion, Bible, and character are definite daily activities. We are planning on utilizing Burritt Museum come the fall as well. The last week and a half we have found a good routine that is working for the time being, but I am sure it will change as the year goes. :) We are growing this year and that takes the ability to go with the flow and change. :)
