WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

I have been on vacation for 2 weeks and then had my nephew here visiting with us for a week.  Around that I’ve been working on the copybooks for Ancient History.  I’m thrilled to be almost done.  Year 1 lower grammar is finished for ZB manuscript.  and Year 1 upper grammar for ZB cursive is almost done.

After I finish these two–sometime Monday, I plan to update the year 4 for modern history books and put them in the various fonts and then place them on LULU.  My kids have actually used the modern books over the last year and I am really pleased with how they’ve turned out.

Once these are done, end of next week, I have to start formatting The Fun Spanish Level 2.  The Level 2 material has been translated and only has to be cut and pasted (that doesn’t sound right, but I’m in a hurry) into the new books.  The covers for all of these are done and ready.

Also, when I have taken a break, I’ve purchased all of our supplies for next year.  I need to come up with a schedule still.

5th grader

CW Homer B and GWG 5 (I still have to purchase GWG)

TLP (co-op)

MFW Geography (Co-op)

TOG (yr 1 redesigned)

Analytical Grammar

(I know this is too much stuff.  But I wanted it all.  So here is my plan:  Do TLP, MFW with co-op and AG at home for 10 weeks.  When AG is over, do CW Homer B with GWG spliced in their rather than Harveys.  Our literature will all come from TOG.  We’ll do TOG lite.  We’ll do TOG rather than Bible study, so I think it will work.  But if necessary, I’ll drop stuff–probably CW Homer.  Actually, I think my dd10 can handle it because she has already read the first semesters books for TOG and the TLP books covered at co-op.  So she’s already ahead.  Basically, she reads a book or more a day–an oddity in our family.   MFW Geography seems really lite, especially since it will be at a co-op.)
