Our 2015 - 2016 School Year in Review

It is that time of the year for us. We have recently wrapped up our 2015 - 2016 school year. Boy, am I tired! This year was the first time that I was actively homeschooling three of my four children. So for grade levels (even though we do not strictly follow them) I had a 2nd grader, K/1st grader, and a Pre-K5; but like I said we do not follow within the guidelines of what is typically learned for each grade. I have witnessed the spark of learning in my children if I don't rush them or hold them back. One of the beauties of the homeschool lifestyle!

Here is a breakdown of the curriculum that we used:
~  Math-U-See
~  Explode the Code (Books A-C & 3-4)
~  Additional Spelling Workbooks from the Dollar Tree
~  Character Trails (from The Learning Parent)
~  All About Reading (Pre-Reading Level)
~  Heart of Dakota (Beyond Little Hearts for His Glory)
~  BOB Books
~  Before Five in a Row (we only did a few books this year)
~  Variety of Read-Aloud Books

I am planning on writing a brief review for each of the items listed above in separate posts over the coming month. I am hoping that by having an idea or plan in place that I will be able to post more. I love homeschooling and think that I could talk about it all day long. I'm off to enjoy our much needed summer break! I would love to hear from you so leave a comment below about how your school year went or didn't go as planned!
