Homeschool Memoirs Week 2

This week’s theme is about sharing your 2008-09 homeschool agendas and plans.

First, let me say I love curriculum! So many choices, so little time. I am sure that we own more curricula than we will ever be able to use. We are very ecclectic in our approach and I never use it as written. Thats why I have so much. I use a little of this and a bit of that. LOL!

So lets see,

For the younger 3 boys:

We do our Bible Study and History together in the morning and then older ds works independently while I work with the youngers and the vice versa. We rotate like this several times throughour the day.

Once a week:

We do a Worldview Class from Answers in Genesis
Sketch Tuesday
Nature Walk
Art/ Music Appreciation

I think that about covers it. We will tweak our schedule as we go. We always do!

I love this verse in 2 Chronicles 16:9a:

For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.
