Choosing Curriculum
We normally choose our curriculum purchasing a variety of books, reviewing them, praying about which to choose, and then purchasing.
Language Arts
We use Christian Light curriculum for Language Arts. The curriculum focuses on spelling, reading comprehension, phonetics, and memorization.
History
This year, we are studying The Mystery of History, Volume III together. We use critical thinking to look at fact-based events. This volume covers history from 1455-1707 using a Christ-centered approach.
Math
We have set up our math program to allow students to go at their own pace. We use the spiral method.
Science
In science, we are moving chronologically and learning how philosophers came up with their findings based on what was happening in the time period they were living in. Our textbook is Science in the Scientific Revolution by Dr. Jay Wile, which is engaging and hands-on. The textbook spans 1543-1700.
Religion
We follow the Come Follow Me program of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
