5 days of... Curriculum (day 1)

I wish I had all our curriculum here to take some nice pictures, but I don't have it all yet. I've ordered it through the charter, but I won't be able to pick it up until orientation at the end of August. So, I simply have lists with maybe a few pictures splashed in here and there. I will add pictures of stacks of books later if I remember.

Fist we have Alex, the 1st grader. He will be working on strengthening his reading, and learning how to do a little more sit down work. I also want him to have a fun year of learning, so I plan to do a lot of hands-on projects with him because that is the kind of kid he is. Very busy!

The 6th grader I haven't figured all of his stuff out yet completely. I know he will have to take one online class through the charter, and I don't know what class that will be yet. I also haven't been able to put an order for curriculum in yet. I have listed some of the things I am hoping to buy through the charter, and some we do already have.

Other resources for our homeschool learning

Nature study with Outdoor Hour Challenge
Art for kids Hub
Pastel art from Hodgepodge art
Music study and appreciation

I am sure this isn't all we will use throughout the year. There will be many library visits as usual, and of course I have the homeschool review crew that will give us opportunities to try out new things all year long.

We also have many outside of the home classes and activities that I will post about on Day 4 of this blog hop. Stay tuned!
