Homeschool Countdown...

I got my last bit of homeschool curriculum in the mail today. Isn't it cute? Supposedly, all I need is in this box! It's my first DIVE into the world of unit studies. It is KONOS IN A BOX. I will admit, I'm smidge "SCARED" of the whole unit study situation but I think I can do it and am excited to do something all my kids can sit and listen to. The main focus of our BOX is "ATTENTIVENESS." Making eye contact (which 2 of my kids have MAJOR issues with), learning about the senses God gives you to help you BE ATTENTIVE. For instance how the ear works, dissecting an eyeball, listening to classical music & enough crafts for several kids! This is cool stuff people, I hope I don't screw it up LOL! I know with prayer and God's help, we'll be fine! I plan on "officially" starting school on one of the up coming Monday's-vague I know. We have piddled around with a bit of Language Arts and Math on rainy days.
Bean & T will both be using "LEARNING LANGUAGE ARTS THROUGH LITERATURE" by Common Sense Press-the orange book. And they will both do HORIZONS MATH by Alpha Omega. T-3rd grade. Bean-5th grade.

The 4 littles will listen in on the KONOS and are doing Heart of Dakota's "LITTLE HANDS TO HEAVEN." I will also be teaching MyMy how to read-she's sharp as a tack and ready to read!

Saying all that WORE ME OUT!
NOW, I'd better go read and learn so I can teach these 6 sponges!
