Our little co-op this year!

0 Shares

You may remember that last year, our little co-op of 3 families, met weekly and did American History together, Apologia’s Astronomy and a little bit of Spanish!

Well, I am thrilled to have this opportunity again because honestly, this has probably been one of the best, if not the best thing about our homeschooling year the past few years! This will be the third year we have done this together. One of our families, sadly, moved to GA this school year (hi, Jenn!!) and so we “adopted” a new family into our co-op and have met 2x already for this school year.

I wanted to share what curriculum and programs we are doing this year, because it’s a little different…

For American History year 2, we are lightly following Biblioplan‘s guide, which is their YEAR 4 in the classical history cycle. Last year we didn’t really use a guide and I wanted something to help me out this year. So, Biblioplan has a great book list and other things to go along with it and I think it will be great!

Right now we are learning about the civil war! 🙂

For science this year, we are still using Apologia but are learning about Swimming Creatures of the 5th Day together!! I think the kids will love learning about ocean animals!

For Spanish, we had to find something different and are trying out Spanish for Children. This is quite a leap in ability and difficulty level, but I am excited and hoping we retain some spanish this year!

Finally, we are adding ART this year!! My kids were SO excited!! We are using Atelier Level 4 and so far so good. 🙂

I hope to blog, as I did last year, with ideas we find for teaching history and science!! Stay tuned for all our co-op fun!!
