Homeschool Memoirs Assignment 4

Posted in Homeschool Memoirs

This weeks theme is to share something new we are using this year.  To see what others are sharing click here.

We are doing a few new things this year.  Some of what we have started already others have not yet been worked into our schedule.

Last year I started using Five in a Row.  But I found it to much to do it and all the other add ons I wanted.  So we did 4 or 5 units from FIAR.  But oh how we missed it!  So this year FIAR is our main focus as it was made to be  It is such a rich program yet so laid back and easy to use!  Any extras we want to do are done once a week for fun.

Another change this year is our spelling program.  Last year we used Spelling Work Out A for dd6 (5 at the time) and she was so board by it!  This year we are using Christian Liberty Press Building Spelling Skills .  So far it's working much better for us.  There is less busy work and dd likes that a lot.

One other thing we are doing this year is adding in nature, art and composer studies.  But these are laid back and done using mostly materials I already have around the house or free on the internet.

Say, this is SO off topic, but how do you get the slash lines to work in your sidebar (completed books, etc.)?
Kinda random question, but . . .
