So the other day we received James' health curriculum!
I was unsure whether or not I wanted to do this curriculum because when I first glanced at it a couple of months ago it didn't seem impressive. I have also read online that the first year (kindergarten anyway) you shouldn't overload a child. So I was doing the full blown phonics & math curriculum from AOP with some supplemental science thrown in. Then after reading more in depth about the health curriculum I figured it would be a good idea. After receiving the books & reading the scope & sequence from K-7/8 of their curriculum (in the other books), I think it will be a great curriculum. I hope it will be anyway. So stay tuned to hear more of that.
So far I think we'll school for 32 weeks (4 weeks of built in breaks there). At which point he should be through all his curriculum. I will then give him the option to continue on all year or take a 3 month (all of June-August) break before beginning the next level.
So that breaks down to 5 lessons per week of math. 1 lesson a week of health for 16 weeks & 2 lessons of health per week for 16 weeks. I have no clue what it would break down to for phonics because we haven't received it yet. I ordered it when I ordered the health, but it was on back order & shipped almost a week later. So I should have it as early as Saturday or as late as Wednesday. I'm excited!
