Homeschool Memoirs: Agendas
Last Wednesday's assignment was to share our 2008-09 homeschool agendas and plans. I thought I'd better get it done before this week's assignment comes out.
Holly - 5th Grade:
Math - Abeka Arithmatic
Reading - Bob Jones
Health - Abeka - it's a 9 week study on the different systems of the body: circulatory, digestive and skeletal.
History - Our homeschool group is doing An American Girl club and we will learn about the historical period based on the book for the month. I'm also considering doing some Time Travelers History Studies when I am done with my kindergarten assignment.
Science - In the spring I want to do Apologia Zoology 1 - Flying Creatures of the 5th Day.
I'll throw in some spelling and cursive writing here and there. If we get all of this accomplished in our hectic year, I'll be thrilled.
Gabriel and Hannah - 11th Grade:
Math U See Geometry - So far the kids really like this program. Gabriel has asked for several years now to find a curriculum that introduced a concept and then worked on it for the rest of the week. After several years of looking, I think we've hit the jackpot. He's only in 11th grade. . .
For history and world literature we will be using TRISMS. This is another new one for us and I don't plan to begin until after John and the kids get back from their Florida trip that they'll be taking soon.
We are doing School of Tomorrow (ACE) for biology. I really needed something they could pretty much do on their own. Plus, they will be doing the labs with a friend of mine here in town who is also doing the same thing.
Spanish - I'm a bit undecided here. I've heard friends rave over Rosetta Stone but I'm not sure that it's a good fit for my children. I'm considering El Español Fácil! but I am just going by what I see online. I haven't heard good or bad from anyone. Opinions are greatly appreciated!

One of my favorite verses that applies to homeschooling is Daniel 1:17
"As for these four children [Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah], God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom:"
Homeschooling is not about finding the perfect curriculum or having the best schedule but learning to trust God and learning that He is the giver of wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

Very cool! We are also using Apologia's Zoology: Flying Creatures... We start next week, and we'll do the first couple of chapters, then switch to the insects portion before they freeze. LOL!
I'm going to head over and check out the Time Traveler's history. We are going to use TruthQuest volume 3 which starts around the end of the Civil War. I'm always looking for neat stuff to add to it. :o)
