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!

Oooo, a shiny NEW blog! Looking forward to seeing how it develops. We have two little ones of similar age -- my oldest is 4 1/2 yo. Take care! (aka: Valerie in Chicago over at WTM)
