My classical education "plan" for next year...

[mommydama]

which may be starting sooner than I thought, actually. Mari and I are flying through Calvert K, I want to go through a K skills book with Zoe to assess where she is, but I'm not going to wait until next September to start this stuff. I'm tentatively planning to do "school" year round, with several breaks here and there. I'd like to start purchasing and learning how to use SWR and Rightstart by March at the latest.

Still tweaking...

Reading/Spelling/Writing/Grammar: Spell to Write and Read
Math: RightStart (Mari–Level B, Zoe–Level A or B, depending on K math assessment)
History: History Portfolio Junior and/or CCH’s history units
Science: Kingfisher First Animals Encyclopedia,My Body, Green Thumbs
Art: Artistic Pursuits or Lamb’s Book of Art 1
Music,: Recorder and/or Violin Lessons

Draw, Write, Now just for fun. Mari LOVES copywork and drawing, what could be more perfect?

I just wasn't impressed by what I was reading about the WTM's suggestions for spelling/writing/grammar. I'm planning to use startwrite to supplement as we need it in the writing stuff. I'm not sure exactly how the Spell to write and Read teaches kids to write. This should all be interesting...
