Planning

There are sooooo many options! Kindergarten seems especially difficult, because besides teaching reading, handwriting, and basic math, there are few things that MUST be covered. We are tentatively planning the following for JRL (K) in 2008-2009:

Reading: Continue working through Phonics Pathways
Handwriting: D'Nealian using Zaner-Bloser paper
Math: Saxon K

Beyond that, I have toyed with the idea of Galloping the Globe for beginning geography and using our read-alouds to explore other topics of interest. Those selections will allow for a lot of freedom. Any suggestions are welcome!

Introduction

This fall, our oldest daughter, JRL, will begin kindergarten. As a way to chart her and our other children's (another daughter, MKL, and a son, NJL) progress through our home school, we plan to blog here.

At this point our hope is for a classical education (à la the trivium concept in The Well-Trained Mind) with Charlotte Mason to flesh it out.

Thanks in advance for your interest and comments! :)
