First 2 reviews coming soon!

I’m super excited!! The reviews are officially in full swing! Sometime next week I will be receiving H.E.A.R.T from Apologia and Civilize This! from Griddley Games. Check back often to read about both of these products and MANY more throughout the year.

Wordless Wednesday: Speechless

Where oh where is Riley?

There he is! In one of his two favorite places in the house.  Crazy dog, LOL!!

Our curriculum for 2011-2012

With another school year beginning in the not so distant future, I thought I would share with all of you what we’re planning to us this school year.  My daughters will be in the 8th and 6th grades.

My 8^th grader will be studying -  

Bible Study: Who Is God? This past school year I reviewed book 1 in the Who Is God series by Apologia. You may read it HERE.
I also have her working on a couple devotionals directed for girls only that I picked up at the local
Christian bookstore.   

Math: Teaching Textbooks. We’re starting out with Pre-Algebra, then moving on to Algebra. I also plan to use Khan Academy for further assistance when needed.       

English: Ace paces by School of Tomorrow

Etymology: Ace paces by School of Tomorrow

Science: Physical Science by Apologia. Chances are we’ll finish with Physical Science early in the year. If that happens then I plan to move her to Apologia Biology.   

History: Story of the World - Book 1

Health: Growing Healthy Homes - Nutrition 101: Choose Life.  This was another book I was chosen to review. You may read about it HERE.

Language Arts: Total Language Plus.

We’ll be finishing up Exploring Creation with Astronomy by Apologia. When the book is completed then we’ll either move to some Ace Science Paces I have or move on into General Science by Apologia. I’ll have to wait and see how things go throughout the year.

Wordless Wednesday: Simplicity

This is my daughters, nieces, nephew, and sister in-law enjoying the water at sunset in Tampa, Florida. Although it was a short trip to Florida, we really enjoyed our time there.

The best part of the trip, Jeremiah is officially my brother in-law! Welcome to the family!

Be sure to check out some other Wordless Wednesday moments.

I saw this video today on a fellow TOS crew mate's blog and I had to share.  Too funny :-)
