Planning Planning

Summer is coming to an end and I have really enjoyed my break.  I spent my whole break loving my kids and not worrying about anything.  It was wonderful.  Now, I've been homeschooling for ten years and I feel like I can call myself a veteran.  But I read a very inspiring set of books that made me feel like I could start all over again, with a fresh perspective.  The book, or I should say the series of books, is A Thomas Jefferson Education.  Read it. You won't be sorry.

So without further ado, here is the line up for the 2016-2017 school year:

My 10G, 8G, and 6B will be doing Level 5: Eastern Hemisphere.  I am absolutely ecstatic about this level.  Not because I think the World Book DVD or the new Eastern Hemisphere book are going to be fabulous, but because this level lends itself to many additional fun projects.

They will also be doing Science 5, along with Exploring Creation with Anatomy and Physiology.  The books in Bookshark are great on their own, but I like the notebook that goes along with Apologia.

My 13B will be doing BKSK 8: History of Science.  I have been waiting for this forever!  I can't wait to get it ordered!  I will be buying it the day it comes out, which just happens to be a day or so away from my son's birthday.

He says I can't use the books for his birthday present.  I don't understand why. It's what I'd get myself!
