Yesterday was super productive for me and I hope today I can get some more stuff done as well. I got Adisson's whole first semester of First Grade (!!) planned out and made a complete list of all the things we'll need to order this month. I'm hoping to get the second semester planned before the end of the week. We'll be ordering a lot of items from Rainbow Resource to complete our list of "gotta haves" and also a few books from Abeka. He'll still be using Five in a Row as his unit study curriculum this year as it's so amazing and we love it dearly.

Our school year is going to start in August. I scheduled the year to have two different schedules. His full schedule will include the following:

Bible Study by Explorer's Bible Study
Complete Arithmetic 1 and start Arithmetic 2 from Abeka
Reading, 2nd Grade Readers from Abeka
Spelling and Poetry 2 from Abeka
Language Arts by Queen's Language Lessons for the Very Young
State Studies by Fifty States Under God for Young Learners by A Helping Hand
and our favorite
Unit Studies including Social Studies, Science, Art Appreciation, Language Arts, Health, and Math from Five in a Row

We'll be working hard in August and September as we'll have to take some time off in October to move to Maryland. Back to work at the end of October and for the rest of the year as we'll take a little bit of time off while I have Baby M.

Even during our "off times" Adisson will still be working on a "Light" Schedule. It's better if he continues to work on math daily so we won't be skipping everything while we're moving and having a baby. His light schedule is the same as above but will not include Unit Studies or State Studies.

Zander, my little sweetheart, will be working on a few things this year as well. I recently purchased an amazing File Folder workbook and a laminator and have been making file folder games for Zander. He loves what I have made so far! :) I really like making them for him as well. I also participated in a Preschool Activity Bag Swap a few weeks ago and have acquired 16 different activity bags for him to work with. I'll be adding a few (hopefully 9-10) more bags to the collection that I have made myself. He'll be starting on Before Five in a Row soon, but not just yet.

Now I've got to get some cleaning done and get everyone ready for my OB appointment today. Adam has a busy day at work so he's not able to come home to keep the boys so we're all going to meet up at the hospital. And it's nearly lunch time and the natives are restless. I'll be back soon with some more school planning updates.
