Our 2010-2011 Homeschool Plans

I have had several ask about what we plan to do for homeschool this year…so I thought I’d share.  We look forward to a fun year learning together.  I do want to note that besides all the kids’ individual work, we have a read-aloud time together in the afternoons for the older three children.  At the beginning of the year I make a list (in the Homeschool section of my Intentional Planner) of history, literature, and science books that I want to read aloud.  We read anywhere from 1/2 hour to 1 hour each afternoon, working our way through our book list.  I usually try to include some books we have that we haven’t read yet, and some new ones that I order for the new year.  I’ll have to do another post later listing some of our read-alouds for this year.  This is probably the funnest part of our day for us, including me!

Ok…back to our plans for this year…here it goes…

    Thanks for sharing. It's always interesting to see what others are using. I had never heard of the Who is God.... book (or Nutrition 101). Some considerations for next year.

    You are so inspiring my friend. I wrote out a list on my homeschool blog of what we plan on doing this year as well. For read alouds we are going to start with the Little House on the Prairie books. HUGS!

      We LOVE the Little House books. We read the whole series last summer and have read a few of the books this summer again! Have fun reading aloud with your kids!
