I’m thinking alot about the school year. We are in the midst of 2 weeks of full day camp at our church. So when that is over, we will take it easy for a few days, and then I am planning on getting a start on some schoolwork. We will not officially start our school schedule until September, but I have some ideas to get a jump start on things. We will enjoy the summer still and the loose schedule of summer, but sort of transition into the school year in August.
We also plan to visit the Statue of LIberty in September. That will be so much fun. I know the kids will love it. We have been talking about going for awhile, so I am glad we will finally do it!
I am still planning. I put together many lessons to get us started, and I am planning on following the Charlotte Mason method as much as we can. This is what we have so far:
Family Work
- Bible- Morning devotions daily, finish “Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends”
- Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Anatomy and Physiology ~ I LOVE LOVE LOVE this curriculum. I went through all of the lessons and there are so many awesome hands on activities throughout. And they don’t require a ton of materials or complicated steps which I love! Perhaps we can incorporate a trip to The Franklin Museum in Philadelphia this year
