Getting Ready for Next Year…
Well, it’s spring, and aside from thinking about gardens, birds, bugs, and warm weather, my thoughts start turning to preparing for the next school year.
So far, I have my DS’ Classic Literature:
- Death on the Nile — Agatha Christie (he loves her work)
- Around the World in 80 days — Jules Verne
- Treasure Island — Robert Louis Stevenson
- Robinson Crusoe — Daniel Defoe
- David Copperfield — Charles Dickens
- Death Be Not Proud — John Gunther
- The Old Man and the Sea — Ernest Hemingway
- Huckleberry Finn — Mark Twain
- Swiss Family Robinson — Johann Wyss
- The Red Badge of Courage — Stephen Crane
- Thirteen at Dinner — Agatha Christie
He’ll be working on Shakespeare for “Summer School”.
Another biggie — he has signed up to be a Full-Time Pioneer!!
He hasn’t gotten approved yet, but I’m planning his schooling around it, so we’re ready when/if he is!
His science will be Biology, and I’ll also have him reading the Creation/Evolution book.
His history will be American History, and I think we’ll use the Proclaimers book for some of that, too.
Some of the materials we’ve been covering this year will still be used next year.
I haven’t really begun thinking about the girls’ curriculum… well, not enough to discuss, anyway.

You flatter me! I’m so glad you found me, too!
The plan for next year will keep us on our toes, that’s for
sure. I think most homeschoolers equate Spring with
New Curriculum time.
Thanks — I’m so proud of him!!
He’s had this goal since about 3 months after we got baptized.
Thanks so much!
congrats, so proud, that will keep your family very busy. I am beginning to plan for next year as well, especially when there a couple of kids who expect to be taught to read, you have to begin to save early. So glad I found you blog.
Reg. Pioneer, how wonderful. Keep it up.
congratulations on the almost pioneering! ;D
