School Is Nearly Here…

I have finally ordered the books for this year, and they are on their way… This is the site we use for the basic curriculum –

Homeschooling Supplies

Go to the “Curriculum Guide” button up the top, and choose the grade you want. This is a Victorian site, so the grades are different to Queensland (If your child is Grade 3 in Queensland, they will be Grade 2 in Victoria, etc)
I will use these books for Maths/English, with a bit of Science and Social Studies.Everything else will be a bit more eclectic, and will probably be adjusted from time to time. I’m hoping to start a History timeline this year, starting from the beginning and moving through to the present day 😀 It will (hopefully) encompass art, music, philosophy etc for each time period, as well as the bare historical facts… We shall see how that goes…

My biggest boy is starting High School this year. That should be interesting..

I have been going through piles of papers, books and workbooks recently – because of a friend who works at a school, we have quite a lot of books 😀 This year I hope to be a bit more organised. I believe the boys have been learning all they need to (and more) but I’m terrible at documentation… I’m trying to sort things out properly this year! I’m quite excited… and also feeling as though my brain will explode.. Having so much reference material is a blessing, but at the moment, also a bit overwhelming….

This will be a good year, though 😀
