2010-2011 Curriculum

I am getting very pumped about the start of our 2nd year homeschooling! I'm currently in the lesson planning stage. I'm looking forward to adding some new elements and doing things a little differently.

I was thinking of doing workboxes, but we just don't have the space to do it properly. I really like the idea of both the kids knowing what they have to accomplish each day, so I've decided to make up lesson plan books for them and for me, this year. That way, every morning they will have their day mapped out and know how much they have left to do.

Working along with that, I'm getting ready to make up some folder games, flash cards and other "busy" work that is also entertaining. I really want to make an Anti-bored Board to hang somewhere. I haven't decided exactly how to go about this yet, so I'll post more about that later.

Here's what we're using for curriculum, this year:
