School's winding down

We are getting ready to finish our year of school. I just got back from a wonderful homeschool conference down in my home state and thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of it!!! Wow! It made me want to come home and get the kids started on next year's subjects, projects and everything!!

Here's a little bit of what we're planning for next year with our youngest son who is going into 3rd grade:

3rd grade subject & curriculum list:

• Bible: Holy Bible-KJV and daily devotional
  
• Math: Math-U-See
• English: Intermediate Lang. Lessons & Rod & Staff
• Reading: Pathway Readers & Workbooks
• History: Early American Pioneers
  
• Science: Apologia-Botany
• Handwriting: Italic H/W Series-C
• State Study: Simply Stated
  
• Extra Curricular: Children's Choir, Bible Quizzing, Piano, Computer, Cooking, Animal Care, How to Raise Puppies and Kittens, Nursing Homes & The Elderly, Being Neighborly

Of course, this isn't a complete list. We will use many different books to add to our list. Plus, most subjects integrate copywork, recitation, memory work, notebooking, as well as oral reading and poem writing.

More on this coming shortly. Let me know what you do for your young children. I plan to add my 5th and 6th graders to this list soon.

Have a great day! Kimi
