School Curriculum Plan ~ 2015/16

Here we are again... Another school year is upon us!

So what are we going to do with it???

After planning our complete schedule and curriculum I had a change of mind... it kept coming back to me and I couldn't shake it!

I decided we need to SIMPLFY big time this year and focus (nearly fully) on...

~ The 3 R's ~

Reading

Writing

Arithmetic

And, Bible, of course.

This is hard for me, but I think we need a year devoted to simplicity and focus. We need this because I can tell that a precocious preschooler and a very active baby are going to be distraction enough... I know we need this because we have 2 children with dyslexia, one still working on English skills.

That said, we are still covering...

~ Core: literature/history/geography

~ Science

~ Grammar

~ Arts

We are just going to put that into a single block of time on Mondays... "get it out of the way" so to speak and then focus the rest of our week on The 3 R's. The only exception to this is our writing time will incorporate listening to, reading and copying quality literature.
