Planning Year 6 (Form II)

And now we are getting to Louisa and all the wonderful books in store for her. When I look at the curriculum lists for my girls, I am kind of in awe of all the learning they get to do! What a privilege to learn with real, living books and ENJOY learning all the while!

So, here are the plans for Year 6 - this is all thanks to Ambleside Online, with a few tweaks here and there specific to Louisa.

Little Ones and School

We have three children who are not technically in school yet. Twin 2 year-olds and a daughter who will be 5 in September. Many moms wouldn't hesitate to start their almost 5 year old in Kindergarten (and ultimately it is a very individual choice) but we are pushing the pause button for one more year. Mainly because, we see no need to hurry up the learning process and because Charlotte Mason firmly encouraged 6 full years of childhood!

Planning Year 8 (Form III)

It's that time of year where the planning is in earnest! How am I typing Year 8?! I really am amazed that we have made it this far... when we very first started homeschooling, my thought was to take it a year at a time and don't commit for the rest of our lives but now I don't see any other way for our family. It really is a blessing despite the challenge of five children and all the work it takes to make it happen smoothly.
