Decisions, Decisions, Decisions.......

Planning for another year of homeschooling!! Exciting, stressful, and somewhat sad (realizing my son (#1) is going to be 10!! Oh my! I was just convinced I would stick with our curriculum choices from last year until..... momtocherubs opened my eyes. I am going to change our history/geography/literature curriculum to Tapestry of Grace and begin at year 1 (just worked out that way!) It is going to be such a relief to have my 10 y.o. and 6 y.o. on the same history. I had been using Sonlight (loved it!!) and was really feeling the need to have everybody on the same period of history so we could have these lessons together---kaboom--TOG! It is soooo much information and a bit overwhelming for a "box checker" like myself. But, after an afternoon with momtocherubs I realized it is just not that bad after all. I have been able to sit down and realize, I really only want the History/Geography/Literature pieces of this anyway. Now, when my books come I can work on my schedule. Things left to decide....Grammar and Math.... Science will be Apologia Zoology 2 as requested by both children after having completed Zoology 1 and everyone loving it!! Hopefully, getting more entries in nature journals with the assistance of Kamana.

Awwww ... shucks. (grin) Actually MamaLion showed TOG to you first. But I am glad I was helpful.

God Bless.
