We started our second year of school at home the day after Labor Day with the rest of the public school students in Michigan. This year we are using the Heart of Dakota Publishing curriculum of Beyond Little Hearts for His Glory. It is a history-based curriculum that follows American history until the Civil War. Pilgrims, colonists, pioneers...goes right along with all the traditional Am*erican Girl books that E loves.
E loves reading...not writing...but loves reading. Her wonderful reading level made picking a curriculum difficult for me because her reading level is far beyond the typical first grade curriculum...and she's not really ready to do reading activities for older grades. So, we are figuring that out as we go. My goal for her this year is to get her to write more. Her math skills are right on target. She loves science experiments...I can't get her to stop reading. So, writing is my personal goal for her this year.
