FTC Disclaimer: Sonlight provided me with one all-subject package but not all of the homeschool curriculum or products you’ll see in my videos or on this blog were provided, I bought the rest of the materials with my own money. The opinions I share about using these materials are my own, Sonlight did not tell me what to say or how to say it.

First Days (and weeks) of School Traditions Our Must Have Homeschool Supplies Our Homeschool Curriculum for 2016-2017

If you’ve read any of my homeschool posts, you know we take time to reevaluate each year. So this year we have made a decision to homeschool without doing the hybrid way we had been doing. 

Lincoln is going to be in 3rd grade and Julia is going to be in 2nd grade. London, our 2 year old will be just playing, puzzling, playdoughing and other fun things like that. Coby, well, he’s just along for the ride. We plan on starting our day with a morning basket that I will discuss in another post. 

So without further ado, here are our curriculum choices: 

Language Arts

• Bob Jones University English (Julia 2, Lincoln 3) BJU emphasizes traditional grammar, such as parts of speech, sentence structure, and mechanics, and provides practice with essential reference skills. As well as the writing process. **review
• **if we do spelling, we’ll use Spelling city (use words from reading curriculum) 
• All About Reading 2 & 3(Julia) interactive hands on approach to reading and becoming a fluent reader for life
• Christian Light Education Reading Level 3 or 4(Lincoln)reading and comprehension 

Math

• Math-U-See  (Julia-Beta, Lincoln Gamma) hands on approach with math manipulatives **review

…And here’s a video recapping all of this:
