Ready, Set, 3rd Grade!

We are pumped and prepping for another great homeschool year. Nothing personal against BJU (current cirricullum), but we are making a change to Christian Light Publications (CLP) this year. She has enjoyed and learned so much from BJU this year and it shows. There are just things about it we do not care for and based upon that and her learning style we are confidently going w/ CLP. It is a consumable curriculum; meaning it is workbook based, and our gurl loves her some worksheets. Here is Jessica’s summary of the 3rd Grade.

------------------------------

Christian Light:
~Math
~Reading
~Language
~Science
~Social studies
~Bible

Supplemental:
~Grammar (dictation, copy work)
~Spelling (there are some spelling words in the christian light language program, so I'm just going to have to pick and chose)
~Geography (she will briefly study a state a day, just to have an idea where each state is located)
~Pioneer studies (this may fill the gap after the geography study is finished)
~Latin (she will study this daily)
~Read alouds (I am in the process of making a reading list for the year and writing out the comprehension questions)

------------------------------

As you can see CLP is the base and we are using pieces of other curriculum's to make it even better. We are very excited. Now if we could just finish 2nd grade. Hehe.
