our 2010/2011 school year

We did 'school' of sorts this year. If you count reading books and doing activities/crafts/skits about the books as school. That is exactly what we did. I followed (some moments/books more loosely than others) both Sonlight's 3/4 program and BFIAR (before five in a row).
CO has LOVED many of the stories we came across from both of the curriculums. Above are some of his favorites from BFIAR and below are some of our favorites from Sonlight.



with the Sonlight many of the books I put up are collections of many books in one...he loved SO many of the stories in them. Normally I am not one that likes these types of books, I prefer having them separate as I feel it is nicer to hold while reading and also then all of the artwork is included in the story....but at the same time I loved most of the stories we read, CO was able to learn about the index and how to find out what page the story we were looking for was on. CO has totally loved the fairy tales he has been exposed to. It is very obvious when I hear so much of them in his everyday play.

So even if you aren't interested in homeschooling, I suggest picking up some of these books to add to your personal libraries...they are great investments and you too will love reading them over and over again
