School

We have so many fun things in store for this school year! I am looking forward to all the learning, discovery and growing that will happen this year. Here is a little peak into what will be keeping us busy. I always love reading what other people are doing and gleaning from their ideas and wisdom. So here is what we will be doing this year.

Madisen ~ 1st grade

• Our core curriculum this year is My Fathers World 1st grade. 
• We are adding Singapore Math 1a and 1b.
• For her personal devotions she is working her way through Your Story Hour volume 1.
• We will be using a Reason For Handwriting.
• Madisen will also be doing ballet and piano.
• Chris will be doing a little bit of Spanish with the girls this year.
• We also add many wonderful books to all of this. We have greatly enjoyed listening to many books on CD from Lamplighter Theatre and a few Foucus on the Family Radio Theatre, when we are driving in the car.  

 

Miriam ~ Pre K

• The core of what she will be doing is Rod and Staffs Preschool ABC's Series.
• We will also be using this letter of the week curriculum.
• She will also be using Starfall.com and literacycenter.net
• Miriam will also be using many of the manipulatives below.

Macaylee ~ Preschool

• Macaylee always wants in on the fun and she joins for crafts, projects, reading and bible. I do have a whole slue of activities and manipulatives that I keep her busy with. Here are some of our favorites:
• Lauri Manipulatives
• Coloring Books and crayons
• Bear Counters with colored sorting bowls
• Stickers and paper
• Matchin' Middles
• Box of dried beans with measuring cups and spoons
• Puzzles (Melissa and Doug are some of our favorites)
• Kumon First Steps workbooks
• Play dough
• Lacing cards
• Melissa and Doug Magnetic Dolls 

Well, that is all I can think of. Oh and the cabinet pictured above is a new addition to our home. We needed more space to store our school books and things. This sits right beside our kitchen table, and it has been so nice to have everything we need right there. We hope that you all have a blessed school year!

"So whether you eat or drink 

or whatever you do,

do it all for the glory of God."
