Wecome to our homeschool blog

We are so excited about our new year beginning next week. We have lots of fun planned so stay tuned. Feel free to browse around until then and read about how we do things. We know every family is different, and what you will read here is what works for our specific family.

Riley will be doing History with American Girl books. We'll be starting with Felicity. We are going to have tons of fun learning about Colonial times and doing all kinds of activities from that time period.

We are going to be using the amazing Planet Earth dvds for some science this year. We'll be sharing some of our activities and field trips that go along with that.

We'll also be using three different levels of Five in a Row, some Mystery of History, and Math-U-See for everyone. We'll throw in some nature studies, some co-op classes (Garrett will be dissecting in Biology), and probably some stuff we don't even know about yet! It's going to be a great year.

I'm a big fan of FIAR as well. I will be doing it with a 5 and 3 year old, obviously dropping it down a level or so. Can't wait to hear the tips to make it go better for me!
