Almost Back To School

We are almost back to school and I must say that I am feeling unprepared.  We haven't yet ordered our core curriculum and I am freaking out a bit.  But hey, do what you can, right?  I'm trying to tackle some areas I feel that my daughter is lacking in from last year so my brain is all over the place trying to come up with creative and fun ways for her to master these areas.  I am thinking of spending a good amount of time on Plot and Sequence in stories.  We used My Father's World curriculum last year and I don't think she quite grasped what she was supposed to be doing with the bible story reviews.  So I will tackle that a little more with her.  I'm also going to throw in some month by month studies.  Holidays, seasons, etc. for each month.  For a little fun mostly and hopefully a little Social Studies since we didn't really do that last year except for what was given in her MFW curriculum.  But that was mostly Bible History so I think we could use more social studies this year.  I am waiting patiently to buy MFW for second grade.  We just got our Math U See curriculum in the mail so I plan on jumping into that after I finish off our first grade math from last year.  We used Saxon last year and I just didn't feel it was what we needed this year, so we switched to Math U See.  We will see how that goes.  I've got a ton of resources that I've found for the various add-ons and maybe I will do a separate post for those another day. Happy Home Schooling!!!  God Bless.
