Many homeschool parents I have talked to locally use one specific curriculum and that's great if it works for them. We on the other hand, use multiple books as our guides and it makes learning fun when we have the freedom to pick and choose subjects to study. We don't have a set guideline we must accomplish with that curriculum. I do make it a point to cover all of the state standards and have a checklist to help me cover all the suggested areas/topics for each year.
Although I am still not done planning this school year, I have decided on the following:
One thing I am using to help me plan and organize is Homeschool Tracker.
Language Arts/Grammar:
- Free Reading (1 hour daily)
- Journal entry
- Moby Max
Spelling:

Math:

Social Studies/History/Geography:
- The jury is still out on this one but I am currently researching several options.
