I cannot believe we have circled one round and back to Exploring Countries and Cultures!
This year, I have a 1st Grader, 4th Grader, 6th Grader, and 8th Grader. On top of that, I will have a baby to spice things up! Woo-hoo!
Here is our plan this year.
BIBLE
The 2 middle girls will read Matthew, using this devotional.
Baby Sis will go through MFW 1st Grade: Learning God's Story
So she will go through the entire Bible, while memorizing some proverbs.
As a family, we will continue to memorize Philippians chapters 3-4.
For Big Bro, he signed up for this devotional.
We will also read Hero Tales and other YWAM missionaries' stories.
GEOGRAPHY/SOCIAL SCIENCE
We will do a travel journal for each child, pretending that we "traveled" that country. Will see how it goes, but I think it suits my creative girls.
This year, I decided to do more "teaching". I did my research and will teach them about the country: landmarks, foods, traditions, cultures etc. I will show videos/photos whenever possible. We will pray for the countries using prayercast.
They will learn the geography vocab through powerpoint slides too. I found realistic pictures of the words, to help them understand more.
Big Bro, Big Sis, and Lil Sis will do the World Geography worksheets.
Big Bro will use WorldBook Online and the internet for research for his country reports.
I will attempt to work hard at preparing foods of the different countries.
We also wrote to the embassies and have already gotten some replies, which is really really exciting! Those materials will be used in the travel journal.
We will work on mapskills and play the geography game.
SCIENCE
Baby Sis will join us for Science this year instead of the 1st Grade Science.
We will learn about the biomes, and habitats of different parts of the world. Just like for geography, I will be using powerpoint slides to "teach" more this year, providing photos and videos whenever possible.
I made worksheets for them to retain more information.
We will also make dioramas whenever possible.
Big Bro will also continue independent study with "Exploring Creation with General Science" (He already finished half in 7th grade)
MATH
Baby Sis will do Singapore Math 1A
Lil Sis continues on 3A, and Big Sis works on 5B
Big Bro is doing Chalkdust Math, Pre-Algebra (He already did more than half in 7th grade)
ENGLISH
Baby Sis is learning to read through the 1st grade curriculum.
Lil Sis, Big Sis, and Big Bro are using Rod and Staff English (4,6,8)
This year I decided they will not use a separate writing program, but use the writing component in Rod and Staff.

Big Bro will study Literature through progeny press. We have not finalized on which book, but most likely "Amos Fortune".
SPELLING
Big Sis and Lil Sis continues on Spelling Power
FOREIGN LANGUAGE
We continue on Mandarin using Kang Hsuan.
ART
We will do art projects based on countries. Big Bro will continue his artwork doing youtube videos as well.
