Our Homeschool Update
Link of the Week: Clickschooling
Good morning everybody!I’ve finally made up my mind. We’re definitely starting school in July this year. I had been waffling between July and August, but with The Big Adventure coming up in December, I think the earlier we start the better. I’ve been keeping myself busy making sure all of our lesson plans are put into Homeschool Tracker Plus and that everything’s ready to go.
It’s been interesting adjusting the schedule from the Sonlight Core 1 Instructor’s Guide to work with the scope and sequence I created for history (based around the 32 Old Testament & Ancient Egypt History Cards from Veritas Press). There isn’t much to work around. The literature read-alouds follow the Sonlight schedule, since this year they aren’t directly tied to the history. The geography readings also follow the Sonlight schedule. So, in reality, the only change I have had to make is to schedule the history read-alouds to coincide with the topics we’ll be studying each week. Simple!
My main focus this week is to schedule in all the websites I’d like us to visit this year. The Link of the Week I posted is one of my favorite resources for finding quality educational websites to use with our studies. I highly recommend joining the Clickschooling mailing list to get daily link recommendations. I especially love the “Virtual Field Trips.” It’s so nice to be able to “visit” a place without having to leave the house!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
From my home to yours,
Andrea
