"Not" Back to School Blog Hop: Curriculum Week
I feel like I should begin this blog post with a “do not try this at home” type disclaimer as I post our curriculum plans for the 2011-2012 school term. Our 9 year old reads textbooks for fun and she loves to study which leads us to select a heavier academic load to keep her challenged. Our family's primary learning method and style is classical education and this year our daughter is working on firming up her knowledge base at the Grammar level.
We will start phasing in some of our new curriculum on August 22nd and our Classical Conversations community will begin meeting once-weekly on September 6th. Here is a run down of our curriculum plans thus far for the upcoming school term.
