Together:
I like to be able to combine my children to be able to study many of our subjects together. This year the main subjects we will be learning together are Bible, poetry, and art. In the past we have combined almost all of our subjects except for math and language arts but I was finding that there was so much competition. So we are trying something NEW this year.
Bible:
Who is God? by Apologia. This is something I have been wanting to do with them for quite some time. We have the MP3 version to go along with the book. Hopefully that will save my voice and it will be nice to listen to a portion each day during our lunch break.Pilgrim's Progress By Answers in Genesis. Another great book I've been wanting to study. We will alternate between this and the Apologia study. Each week we will also be memorizing a Bible verse which applies to what we have read in Pilgrim's Progress. Also have the audio in order to save my voice and so we can listen at lunchtime.
Poetry:
Linguistic Development through Poetry Memorization from IEW. This is an AWESOME resource! If I had to pick just one, this would be my all-time favorite. The poems are superb and the CDs with all the poems read by Andrew Pudewa are FANTASTIC! We memorized level 1 last year, so on to level 2 this year. I can't wait!Art:
Picture Study Portfolios from Simply Charlotte Mason. This is seriously the easiest way to encourage and enjoy art history. I love the methodology and philosophy. You can't go wrong with any of these portfolios.Handicrafts Knitting from Simply Charlotte Mason. I have always wanted to learn how to knit. Well with this step by step DVD, it shouldn't be too challenging for all of us to learn together!
Read alouds:
These are books that I will read to everyone. Usually we read them just before bedtime. I have some great ones in mind, but don't have them all chosen yet. Sometimes I let the kids pick, other times I choose. Do you have any suggestions that your children adored? Leave me a comment to let me know!Grade 8:
