While thinking about planning our homeschooling agenda for the coming Fall semester. I realized that we are farther behind on the current semester that I thought. So we’ll be catching up during the summer.
I don’t hold to a strict calendar or guidelines for our school. We’re pretty laid-back, eclectic in style. Not unschooling, not “school at home”, just in-between. We get started on specific subjects/topics and end up sliding into tangential areas.
Connor is entering 11th grade and Sionna, 6th (based on age). Per the Texas Home School Coalition, to comply with Texas law, we need to cover reading, spelling, grammar, mathematics, and good citizenship. We’ll try to cover science, history, art, music… maybe a little computer programming too.
Tentatively, our Fall semester will begin with:
Reading: lots of library books, work down the list of classics
Spelling: need to look at curriculum
Grammar: time to re-boot Analytical Grammar
Mathematics: combining ALEKS and Math Mammoth, as we did this past school year
Good Citizenship: looking at lessons at Law-Related Education
Other subjects to be determined…
