We have decided to continue in our efforts of homeschooling our kiddos. We tossed around public school a bit this summer but will follow our convictions to educate the double duo right here at home for the 2012-2013 school year. And with that decision, we are taking it one step further into the world of Classical Christian education. This kind of education emphasizes biblical teaching and incorporates a teaching model known as the Trivium. I will let you google that if ya like.
So, what does that look like for us? Well, I am very excited to take on picking out our difference curricula on my own with the help of some veteran classical christian homeschooling mamas, "The Well-Trained Mind", by Susan Wise Bauer and Jessie Wise, and other accountable home-school resources. I never thought I would love this so much but apparently I do. I caught myself finding much joy in making out lesson plans just last week (which I will do every 9 weeks). Weird, I know. So here is the line-up...
Math - Singapore Math
History - Mystery of History (Starts with creation to Christ the first year, working its way to the Reformation by 4th grade, followed by American History. Then repeats itself in the middle school years taking on the logic stage of the Trivium). Abi and Nate will stay on this track together
Grammar - First Language Lessons
Spelling - Spelling Workout, (Modern Curriculum Press)
Handwriting - Abeka
Science - "Science in the Kitchen" and "Science in the Air" (Usborne books)
Latin - Prima Latina (beginning in 2nd grade)
Art - ARTistic Pursuits
Music - lots of classical listening and Abigail has begun piano this year!
And of course...READ! READ! READ! the classics!
**This is always subject to change with each school year and differences in learning for each child but we are very excited about this opportunity for our family.
