ON THE SCHOOL DESK (Our curricula)

Here's our Curriculum choices for this school year (2007-08). I'll create links soon to descriptions of each for those who get a little too excited researching everyone else's homeschool picks.

The core of our reading comes from recommendations in The Latin Centered Curriculum for 1st grade, even though B will be in 2nd...I didn't want to miss all those great books! We are using Alpha Omega's Horizons series for Language Arts and Math.

Daily Subjects (about 10-20 minutes each)
Horizons 2nd Grade Math, Phonics, Handwriting, Spelling/Vocab
Poetry Memory work and recitation
Speedy Spanish
Pianimals
The Children's Illustrated Bible

Then each day I will rotate in one of the following, spending an hour or so reading or listening:
Modern History: D'Aulaire's Biographies & Hollings Geography Books, Evan Moor geography resources, Native American tales
Classical History: Greek and Norse Mythology using Aliki's Gods and Goddesses as a spine
Literature: Fairy Tales (Grimm, Andersen, Lang Fairy Books)
Art:Art with a Purpose & How to Use the Childsize Masterpieces
Music Appreciation: Classical Kids CD's, bio's of famous composers
