NOTE: After posting this, I changed my plans a little...and I'm very excited about the changes. You can see what I did at "I lightened my load."
Is it helpful to see what others are doing in their school?
Would you like to see my daily schedule on Word showing when I work with each child?

I do like seeing what others are doing. It seems like when a group of homeschooling parents gets together, sooner or later the conversation turns to curriculum. It's expensive, so it's nice to get some opinions from those who have used it before purchasing.
ReplyDeletegood luck!!! I am counting the days till my kids GO to school so they can learn stuff they have to unlearn at home. If I had the patience, I would have homescholoed...end up doing it anyway, just takes longer.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun (and busy) year! I have a 5th and 7th grader, too.
ReplyDeleteHow do you like IEW? I have looked at it before, and it seems good. We used WriteShop a few years ago and now we kind of do our own thing, using the Four-Square method and lots of collaborative writing. But sometimes I wonder if my kids should be on a more "organized" curriculum. Do your kids journal?
Found your blog on the NBTS hop, by the way. Have a wonderful year learning together!
Hi Sparklee,
DeleteI'm glad you visited. I like IEW alot for 2 reasons. 1. Kids learn how to write using it. 2. We use the DVD to watch Andrew Pudewa teach the lesssons. That saves me alot of time preparing lessons. I'm sure there are a ton of other great programs or having the mom teach the kids is great too. I found out that I didn't know a good way to teach kids how to write, so IEW really helped me do that (they have training DVDs for teachers too).
I recommend that if it's not broken, don't fix it! Also, I changed to Tapestry of Grace for writing this year for my 3 older kids. I'm letting TOG help me with alot of my teaching this year....You can look at my updated schedule on a subsequent post: http://journeying-sue.blogspot.com/2012/08/i-might-be-able-to-breathe-this-school.html
