I am getting so excited for our upcoming school year. This is our 5th year of homeschooling . . . can you believe it? Spunky will be in third grade, Giggles in second, and Bubba in Pre-K. I've always used Sonlight as our curriculum but am adding some additional resources this year. We're using Math-U-See which we did last year and loved. We have this amazing history wall chart from Konos that is like 4 ft by 6 ft. Our little history characters (that will stick to the chart) are coming in the mail next week. Still not sure where we're going to put such an immense teaching aid . . . the ceiling, maybe? :)
I've been researching different spelling programs to see what's best for us. One that I'm intrigued with is called "Spell to Write and Read". But I'm not super interested in it because while reviewers speak highly of the results, they also say that mom has to put in serious hours to learn it. (One reviewer claimed to have spent 100 hours learning it before she felt prepared to teach.) Yikes! So I'm still looking.
There are several homeschool co-ops here in this area. We've actually been on a waiting list for 2 separate ones in the past few years, but a new one is opening up and I think we'll be a part of it. I'm not sure what to teach or assist with yet . . . maybe dance or music? The girls think their baby sister needs to teach drama. :) Some classes available for my kids to take would include Spanish, public speaking, and zoology.
If you could teach a class on anything, what would you choose?

Kimberly, I just had to laugh at your comment about putting the history poster on the ceiling. It brought to mind another gigantic poster you pinned to the ceiling of your bedroom in high school :)
Oh no! You can't share that! ;)
