Last year we used My Catholic Faith Delivered for Religion and though she enjoyed that, I missed the daily discussion on faith, and I think this is one of those crucial years when I need to get back to the way we did it before.
The History curriculum was hastily put together as I typed this up. I realized we had nothing for history yet, and she didn’t want to do All Ye Lands again since I mis-assigned it to her the year prior to her using From Sea to Shining Sea (yup, I do that to my kids sometimes) and she didn’t want to go back to Kingfisher either. What fun it was to just pick books off the shelf and ask if she’s read them yet — by the time we were done we had covered the Ancients and had 15 living books to do it with! We’re planning to have all those done by end of April, just in time for Jesus’ time and thus Mary’s! And that would be the perfect segue to the Month of Mary, May, which I’ve already got all planned (but will post some other time).
