Thanks for posting your homeschool "checklist" like this. It's inspiring!
ReplyDeleteAnd that top photo? Precious.
Thank you so much for doing this. I am a Challenge III tutor so I have to spend more time studying than I'd like, but I have little boys (8, 5, 4) in Foundations. You are working about two weeks ahead of us, and since I found you I keep coming to steal your booklist for the week and head straight over to our local library's website to request some of your resources... especially the picture books.
ReplyDeleteI am curious to know what Spanish curriculum you are using if you have time to tell me.
The Spanish program I'm using is a set of DVDs that were given to my sister and then she gave to me. I don't know if they are available to purchase anywhere, which is why I haven't talked about them. (And they are kinda hokey. :)) We used La Clase Divertida a long time ago, have Rosetta but the boys have trouble doing that independently, and I'm eyeing Spanish For Children at Classical Academic Press. I like that it has DVD lessons, but I'm not sure I want to add that to my plate right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad you are finding my lists helpful!
I am also eyeing Spanish For Children. I was hoping that you were using it and could tell me a success story. :)
