What my Kindergartener is doing this year...

Starting Bean in Kindergarten was a lot easier since she is following in her big sister's footsteps.  She gets to learn from my past mistakes!  Here is what we're going with for this year.

SPELLING: All About Spelling- Level 1 to make sure we've got all the basics covered thoroughly.  She could use the mastery of the phonograms so this will be a great building block for her.

HISTORY: Story of the World: Volume 1 Ancient Times- She will be doing this right along with her big sister.  She loves the story of it all.  We're also using the Activity Guide (for the maps and coloring sheets as well as some good hands-on activities) and the testing booklet (for oral review).

HISTORY READING: The Classical House of Learning Literature- There's a beginner version of her student guide!

COMPUTER: Time 4 Learning- Great tool for reinforcing the basics.

HANDWRITING: A Reason For Writing: Level B- Scripture-based handwriting practice? Yes, please!

READING: Ordinary Parents Guide To Teaching Reading- This has been on my shelf for a while, so I think I'll dust it off and see if will help build Bean's confidence.

MATH: Horizons K- Heard nothing but great reviews.  We'll give it a whirl.

SCIENCE: Basic animals.  Starting with the ones in this book.

ART: World's Greatest Artists Study- Erica from Confessions of a Homeschooler has provided yet another fantastic FREE printable curriculum!  So far my girls are loving it.
