I still have some tweaking to do to our curriculum plan, but getting it down in print will hopefully help me get the loose ends tied up!
We will also be doing a Theme of the Day activity. I created this last year (see this post), and am now working on this year’s plan based on what did/didn’t work.
Here is our Theme of the Day schedule for this year:
- Monday with the Masters
- Creativity Tuesday
- Writer’s Workshop Wednesday
- Poetry Tea Thursday
- Nature Fun Friday
Our students: dd15 (10th), dd13 (8th), ds9 (4th), dd7 (2nd), dd3 (PreK)
Because we overlap our curriculum into several age groups, I am listing by subjects instead of by grades.

We are TT and Apologia users too. Hoping over from the Curriculum Choice Blog roll.
I host an Apologia Blog Roll on my blog if you are interested in linking up. It’s a great way to connect with other Apologia users and gain some tips, advice, and encouragement.

Looks like a great list. I haven’t heard of many of them. Love these blog hops.
I love them too! Thanks for stopping by.
Looks like you’ve got a busy and productive year planned. Love all the free resources you shared!
Busy, yes! Productive, I can only hope!
I only have 2 dd. WOW!!! This is my second year, and I am using Phonics Pathways too. I have a child that appears to be dyslexic or with some Phonemic Awareness LD. Have you been using it for awhile?
Laptop issues and I hit the button somehow. I would like to follow your site for some ideas. Should be Lanelle, not Lane
Oh my gosh! What a wonderful resource list you have here. THANK YOU! I am off to send your post to many friends who will be so happy!
Wonderful resources! And I can’t wait to hear more about your theme days.
That looks like a great and busy year! Thanks for that great list of resources, too. So very helpful!
