New School Year

Glacier was fun and beautiful. There is everything from mountains to plains and from desert to 5" shy of rain forest all within the boundaries. The mountain goats come right up to the cars up in the pass.

Now time to get the school year ready and start a little at a time. We started math this week. We will start one thing a week until we have it all going.

I let Stephen choose something for us all to study this year...he chose World Geography. We are using Trail guide to World Geography along with a few of the supplements that it recommends.

Stan has decided to help with science this year--he is teaching the older four Chemistry one night a week (and making level appropriate assignments for the rest of the week).

Along with Seminary, Scouts, and Duty to God, this is all the core subjects that Stephen and Shane will do.

Jessica and Jacob are going to use a workbook from Book of Mormon Discovery to help them with a study of Latter-Day Prophets.

Joseph and Sarah will be working through Learning to Read Using the Book of Mormon for reading--the others will be reading their choice of books from the library. Along with some handwriting (for the youngers), Faith in God, Personal Progress, and Cub Scouts that's about all that I will plan out for them. They all read a lot on their own and writing assignments will be in everything.

Glad you found me again, Amy. Ah, you are also gearing up for a new year. Wow - two moves in such a short time - you are nearly military. ::snort::
