Organizing before summer.

Last night I was organizing our curriculum so that it is all planned, sorted, and ready to go come end of summer. Here's our picks for this year, starting with English:

Aiden (Grade 3)

 

For grade three I (mom) picked basic Sonlight LA with readers. Here is the main pack and the many books Aiden will get to enjoy :) 

 

Aiden has shown interest in learning to handwrite so we are going to try out this workbook as well. He has a bit of quirky printing as he is left handed so I am not going to hold to this if it doesn't work out, but hopefully it will improve his style. 

Gemma (Grade 1)

 

Gem will carry on with Sonlight for Grade One LA and with all the extras that go along; Explode the Code 1, 2, &3 and Handwriting Without Tears, My Printing Book. We love all these resources and have used them each year in some form.

 

These are the readers that go along with Gemma's Sonlight program. 

 Keiran ( Kindergarten)

 

For Keiran, I am going to use Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. The reading is included in this book as you go, and I find that it brings a child to a higher level of reading by the end of it than Sonlight K does. We will use The Get Ready, Get Set, and Go for the Code books and Handwriting Without Tears to learn letter and number printing. I had bought extra worksheets for Sonlight K last year for Keiran too, so I may use some of them, as well as the beginner readers.
