In a determined effort to stay organized, and knowing that baby Faith will be arriving in January, I sat down last night and laid out Grace's schedule from January to June 2006. There are still a number of books from Ambleside's Year 1 that I would like to postpone, but I looked over the Year 2 schedule, and decided to pull from there. Our homeschooling is all year round, and we tend to have three terms, but the shortest term falls in the summer months.
Here's what we will be working on for the first six months of 2006:
Nature Study: Rodentia
Artist Study: Monet
Composer: To Be Determined
American History: Unit Studies to include Vikings and Columbus
* Lucky Lief and Columbus books by the D'Aulaires
* Viking Tales by Jennie Hall
* This Country of Ours (Chapters 1-5) by H.E. Marshall
World History: Unit Study of Marco Polo - Part I
* Completing 50 Famous Stories
* Marco Polo for Kids (Chapters 1-3) by Janice Herbert
Science: Rodentia Nature Study
* Burgess Animal Book (Chapters 1-20)
Literature:
* Understood Betsy by Dorothy Fisher
* The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
Poetry:
* The Oxford Book of Verse (Grace will read the poem)
The books have been ordered this morning as well as ordering a large number of coloring books from Dover Publications to cover these topics. (I'd like to ditch the plethora of Princess coloring books in the room).
