Curricula Plans for 2008-2009

 


This plan is built around two students: 8th grade & 3rd grade


 



I teach based on the Heart Of Wisdom Teaching Approach. So, I am not classical, principal, or whatever. Basically, I put Bible first and foster a love for learning. This can be tricky, but we have benn VERY successful using the HOWTA method. Wish I had done it right from the beginning. It is a lot of Charlotte Mason.


 



Some subjects/items I have listed here will be taught together: Heart Of Wisdom history/Bible, International House Of Prayer curriculum, English From The Roots Up wordcards.


 



I am still considering on how to handle teaching out of Writer's Inc with an 8th grader and a 3rd grader at the same time. I may just teach my 8th grader from it and teach my 3rd grader out of it in the future.



 


 


I am also excited to implement Managers Of Their Homes. I just read the book and I am fixing to write out my first schedule using the method. All my past attempts at scheduling were great looking and well researched/thought out but never worked. I believe the MOTH method will work. I am hoping that I will be able to allow for doing art and experiments or whatever. This is all while potty training my toddler girl and having a newborn (September 08). We will see.
