Our Homeschool Curriculum for 2014-2015

I am going to share our picks for our 2014-2015 school year. Then in the next few days I will let you know why we choose them, what we like about them, how we found them and were you can find them. Every child is different, every family is different and every situation is different. What works for my family my not work for yours and you know what, that is perfectly fine! I just personally like to see what other people are using. I like to gleam ideals off other people, it has helped me in our journey and has been fun too.

So lets get on with it already right!

Bible - Alpha Omega Lifepacs 5th Grade
Math - Alpha Omega Lifepacs 5th Grade
Grammar - Rod & Staff Following The Plan 5th Grade
Spelling - Rod & Staff
Literature- We are reading classics together
Poetry- Reading Poetry and discussing it
