The Plan: Everything Else


Wow, the school year is upon us! I've been frantically clearing out the old, and restocking with the new all week, and we are almost ready to go. We have all new school supplies and our cupboard looks so nice and organized. I'm really looking forward to the new school year. It should be a good one. God's Will be done.

I'm still working on a plan for religion this year. Our goal is to make it to daily Mass at least once a week. I'm leaning toward using the Family Catechism from Apostolate for Family Consecration and learning more about many of the wonderful sainted priests of the Church in celebration of The Year for Priests.

That about sums it up. Sorry for the mish-mash of information. I had wanted to do a bit more reviewing and describing of the materials we use, but time is short. I created links to most everything here, so you might check it all out on your own time. May God Bless our new school year!

IS Special K ahead in Math? You have me worried. J is using Saxon 1 for first grade . . . is he on schedule, or are you ahead?
Maurisa said…
OOps! No, she is not ahead in math! She is using Saxon 2, not 3. I'll fix that now :-)

Sorry to have stressed you!

Did I miss something? Science? I know you always do something fun for science, so was interested in what it is this year! :-) I will have to spend time later perusing your links. Glad you posted this. :-)

Wish we could come over this afternoon and hang out. Miss you all.

Thanks for sharing your plan for the school year. I wanted to add in for your 11th grade daughter, you mentioned the "Family Catechism" from Apostolate for Family Consecration-which I totally LOVE- did you know that there is an online catechism that goes along with it or separately and it is awesome!?!? WE have a catechism night and my husband leads it off of this link:

We find it super helpful for all ages-even us!
God bless,
Mary @ Cheerios

Thanks Mary,

I did come across the online version and I'm looking forward to trying it out.

As a clarification to what I posted, I meant for the religion plan to apply to all the children, not just the 11th grader. Looking over my post now, I see how I did not make that clear. :-)
