It will be interesting to see how many times I change my mind on curriculum.
Ok, new plan. Keeping them together for history and read alouds.

The Blue Fairy Book
Burgess Animal Book

** Seabird
*** Cathedral (Macaulay)
..other literature I haven't decided on...
Audio Books: Our Island Story
Pilgrim's Progress
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (Pyle)
Parables of Nature
Tales From Shakespeare
Read together with Savannah: *The Wind in the Willows
**The Little Duke
***Heidi
Savannah reads silently: Along Came a Dog
The Story of Doctor Dolittle
The Door in the Wall
Read together with Charlotte: Little House in the Big Woods
?
Charlotte reads silently: not sure yet
When you said you were going to be reading Heidi with Savannah, it brought back some really good memories. One summer when I was staying with my Granny, she read it to me! I think I was 7 or 8, the same age as Savannah. I haven't thought of that in years and years. Thanks for the memories!!!
ReplyDeleteI am in the middle of the "Great Curriculum Re-Vamp",too! I can't say no to phonics road just yet, as I am sold out on the method for teaching spelling and reading, but I am going to re-think how it gets done in a day so we can move on to more reading aloud! I miss just hanging out learning with my kids, instead of plugging along with "school". Great blog...I will be back!
