I am a few weeks away from completing Sonlight Core B. I decided to wait until September to begin Core C. Since Core ‘C’ is targeted for ages 5-7, I want ‘R’ to have a better opportunity to grasp it. He will be 4.5 years, and with a little modification, he should be OK. ‘A’ should fit right in.
So, what to do between March and September? I have decided to do a couple of Unit Studies. I asked the boys what they wanted to learn about and they decided they want to learn about "the body" and "sharks".
We will also work on Bible Verse memorization and writing letters and numbers.
Add all the fun field trips, hikes, and playdates we can do in Spring and Summer and we should be good to go!
Sounds like a terrific plan!
Have you ever looked into or seen the Five in a Row curriculum books at your local library? Might be worth checking out (if they have it) and do a book or two…they make for GREAT unit studies. My library has quite a few copies of the curriculum, yours might as well. 🙂
I'm trying to decide what to do next year with my girls. One will be 5 and the other 3.
Hey! No, we aren't in the dark- we are way up in North Florida. Miami is in the dark now from what I hear. Too bad in a way, the kids REALLY wanted to do things by candlelight. Maybe I'll turn the lights off tomorrow and do things by candle.
