Long Term Planning

Phonics, Grammar and Writing

• Ordinary Parents Guide to Teaching Reading - preK, K, 1st
  
• First Language Lessons - 1st, 2nd, 3rd
  
• Writing Strands - ??
  
• Classical Writing: Aesop - ??
  
• Classical Writing: Homer - ??
  

I'm still torn between Writing Strands and Classical Writing. Or maybe we'll use both? Or maybe something different? Maybe a different program for each child? We'll see when we get there.

Music & Art Appreciation
Still not sure where we're going with this except for a chronological study of composers and artists as they tie into history, and hopefully some practial music and art lessons as well (piano, violin, drawing, sculpting, whatever)

Social Studies, etc
No need to plan for any of these as they will occur naturally in our study of history and of life.
