This is going to be a great year of learning. CJ will be a 1st grader and EMan will be in his last year of preschool. I will be teaching a 3 year old class and a 4 year old class oer at Little Adventures Preschool this year. EMan will participate in both classes just to make sure that he has a solid foundation for moving forward.
CJ will enjoy one day a week at a program set up for homeschool students where he will take classes like PE, Robotics, Science, Karate, Art, World Geography and Language Arts. He will get to be with his friends learning things we can't do as well at home and EMan and I can work on Preschool stuff with our friends. It's a win, win.
Through CJ's homeschool program we get to check out curriculum through their curriculum library. This year I decided I'll be doing Book Shark, 1st grade; Singapore 1B and 2A; and Rosetta Stone Spanish from the check out library. I'll also be utilizing TouchMath 1st Grade and TouchMath 2nd Grade (he's already done most of TouchMath 1st grade at this point). I'll be utilizing the Moffatt Girls reading materials to suppliment book shark, he'll still have weekly piano lessons, recorder lessons and we'll do some writing.
I'm utilizing the Melissa and Doug magnetic chore chart to keep track of school work for the week. It lists the subjects (with a wet erase marker): Reading, Math, Piano, Recorder, Spanish, Brush Teeth, Extras (items are written on the daily spot such as laundry, pick up room, clean bathroom). YES. Brush Teeth is part of our school work right now. It's the best place to get it in front of their faces that they need to brush them every day. Eman's chart simply lists: Reading, Math, Brush Teeth, Extras.
It should be a great fun year!
