homeschool curriculum decisions

if i write it all here i'll be able to find it!

term 1 - (australian school year is in line with the calendar year - longer summer break over christmas)

the story of the world
book 1 by susa wise bauer
read alouds each day followed by timeline and whatever else we feel like doing from the activity book

math-u-see
finish 'beta'.

keep going through the 'little house' books
journal during read alouds
timeline events
explore tangents that gr hits on

basic australian geography and weather unit studies
tied together where applicable.
take part in the weather study from the uk - recording and journaling max and min temps, humidity, barometric pressure and rainfall.

start to bring together her nockomammal recordings - burn cd? do fictional 'nature book' notebook.

whatever else takes our fancy.

can't decide whether to jump on the bandwagon and 'do' some narnia now while there is all the material online following the movie, instead of next year.
the movie would definately be too scary for her just yet, but maybe after she's famliar with the books we will watch it at home.

haven't heard back re our dispensation yet..... better get it or i guess we'll go unregistered.....
