Summer is coming! We have plans to start our homeschool once Nathan's home in the mornings. He'll go back to Montessori preschool in the fall, then we'll start our official homeschool for Kindergarten/First Grade when he is 6.
We started our first project this weekend. Randy tilled the ground so we can plant a butterfly garden. There is an amazing nursery down the road. We just looked tonight while Randy picked out his vegetable garden plants and seeds. We'll go back later this week to select our butterfly bush, verbena, and some other butterfly friendly flowers. Once they are in the ground, we'll order our caterpillars. Still trying to decide between Monarchs and Painted Ladies!
I found our Math curriculum! RightStart Math sounds like the program that I needed. It uses lots of manipulatives, including an abacus. Instead of using worksheets for review, RightStart has a series of games to reinforce concepts. The program's developer is a Montessori teacher and a Suzuki violin/piano teacher, as well as a mathematician.
We'll have our Five in a Row unit studies, Getty & Dubay handwriting, Pathways phonics, RightStart Math, and butterflies. That's probably more than enough!Labels: Juice Fast
