I've decided to post a 3 part series on what curriculum we've used since we started homeschooling. You will see that our philosophy has evolved and changed since the beginning. We've used a variety of curriculum over the last five years including Bob Jones, ABeka, Horizons, Math-U-See, Saxon, Sonlight, Rod & Staff, etc. etc. We've also added 2 students since we started :)
2007-2008
Angel Grade 6
We pulled Angel out of public school in October of her 6th grade year. I knew absolutely nothing about homeschooling. We started at the library, moved to Borders book store, and then networked with some current and former homeschooling moms. Here's what we ended up doing our first year...
Spectrum World Geography
Making the Grade: Everything Your 6th Grader Needs to Know - I used this as a spine for an introduction to World History and supplemented with many library books; I also used the Science portion of this book along with A Beka Choosing Good Health
A Beka Arithmetic 6
A Beka Language C
2008-2009
Angel Grade 7
American Government - coincided with fall election
Geography - this was another Spectrum workbook
Apologia General Science
A Beka Arithmetic 7
Bob Jones English
Riley Ann Pre-K
This dd has an early September birthday and was begging to "do school" at a young age so we used Bob Jones K5 Beginnings program.
ABeka kindergarten math
Horizons kindergarten math - she finished ABeka early and wanted more so we did the first 1/2 of Horizons - I do not recommend this for every kid :)
To be continued....
