2015-2016 Curriculum Choices

My youngest will be starting "Tot School" this year. I got the schedule idea from THIS site. I'm doing mine a little bit differently.

On Mondays when I introduce a new letter, I will read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and let her add a letter to our tree. Then I'll let her color a picture of that letter. For the color and animal days, I will show her the new item and have her color a picture. I'll introduce shapes and numbers on that day. Since she is so young, I'm going super simple.

 My middle will be entering Kindergarten and I'm going to have him join in with my oldest when we do Bible, history, science, art, music, etc.
So here is our list for Kindergarten and 2nd grade:
Bible: Grapevine Studies Old Testament Overview Level 1
 Habit Training: Laying Down the Rails with emphasis on: Attention, Health, Manners, Gentleness, and Thoroughness.
