So this week I made my order for my two girls for next year. For the little one (3 in March), I ordered 10 various books from Sonlight's cores pk 3/4 and pk 4/5, flashcards and some little Bible books (Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers) from Christianbook.com. We will just enjoy reading together, learning ABC's and 123's, some early phonics and sight words, and colors and shapes.
For the oldest (6 1/2) this is what we'll be doing:
From Sonlight:
Sonlight Core 2 (4 day) with Grade 2 Intermediate readers (History, Reading, Read-alouds, Geography)
Sonlight Science 2 (4 day)
Sonlight Language Arts 2 Int. (plus recommended workbooks)
Horizons Math 2
A Reason for Handwriting (grade 2)
Sequential Spelling 2
Usborne's Childrens Book of Art (Internet Linked)
Mathtacular 2
Maps and Globes
From Christianbook.com:
Big Truths for Little Kids
Wee Sing World
Prima Latina DVD's and workbook
The Lightlings
The Victor Journey through the Bible
(I got many of these ideas from Veritas Press...but they are a little higher)
I'm really excited that I was able to order the Mathtacular and the Prima Latina DVD's. That makes my life sooo much easier. Math is fun...check. Actual Latin teacher who won't mispronounce half the words...check. The Science also comes with a fun Discover and Do DVD that is really neat.
Also here in a few weeks, my oldest will be taking her DORA and DOMA tests from www.letsgolearn.com (which we don't have to do, but it's helpful for me to know what she needs more work on).
Now I can't wait for box day!!! It is always so much fun when the books come in :). We all get in the floor and dive through the books. Now I just have to clean off the bookshelves and find some more room!
