It's all coming together!

Warning... this is a lot... but I want to make sure I have this written down for myself :)

Jayden will finish up our unit studies next week (we will end with Thanksgiving unless she just WANTS to do Christmas), will finish up her math review this week, and finish her reading program (Drawn Into the Heart of Reading) biography (including the project) before Thanksgiving! After Thanksgiving, she's going to finish the last three verses in A Reason For Handwriting 'A' just so we can have that book completed, and I'm going to start her in the next book for DITHOR and that's IT! until we start Bigger Hearts for His Glory (3rd grade curriculum) half speed sometime in January.... I have to order it after the first of January, so who knows when I'll start it. We'll take a break when Grace gets to a break point.

Grace will finish up unit 3 in Little Hearts For His Glory (K and/or 1st grade curriculum) and will be finished with the right side (basic - 3 R's) K options completely by Christmas.... we'll pick up 1st grade options after the new year. I'll start her back about a week or maybe two before I start Jayden in Bigger and catch her up by doing left side (starting in Unit 4) one day and then two days of basics (starting at the beginning) so she'll be caught up even at the end of unit 6, which will take 10 weeks.... then we'll take a break for a week or two, and start back at traditional half speed (history/science/Bible one day, basics the next) for 3 or 4 units, which should take us to the beginning of the term on our attendance chart for the state, at which point she'll be technically 1st grade and we'll go full speed, probably starting in unit 12 or so. She'll also be doing the Emerging Readers set from Beyond Little Hearts For His Glory half speed, taking breaks as needed.... it's a pre-cursor to the reading program Jayden is doing.

Julianna is going to finish up her preschool workbook by Christmas and we'll get her another preschool workbook to do after that. I'm still undecided if we will start Little Hands To Heaven at the beginning or in the middle. Either way she'll start LHFHG half speed in September. She will technically still be preschool age, but she will be more than ready for K level work by then. We will go half speed all the way through LHFHG with her. She will finish it around Christmas 2012 and we'll start Beyond and do it half speed all the way through.

I haven't decided yet when Evie will start preschool. Not any time this year... I might start her next fall doing LHTH one or two days a week, depending on when/if she actually wants to do school work like her sisters. Right now she's content just to mess up all the big girls' work! :)

So just a recap, when the new school term starts next summer (July 1st) Jayden will be about 1/3 of the way through 3rd grade work, Grace will be about 1/3 through 1st grade work, Julianna will be finishing up preschool, and Evie will be 2. If they were in public school starting next fall Jayden would be starting 3rd, Grace would be starting 1st, Julianna would just be starting preschool, and Evie would still be 2 ;)

When did they grow up?
