Trying some new things....curriculum reviews, book reviews, etc.

Okay, I'm making a concious effort to blog more!  I figured a good way to "feel accountable" was to start posting some reviews on books/curriculums I've tried with my kids. 

My first post, which I hope to get done today, will be on the Abeka curriculum we've used.  I used Abeka for K-1 with Motormouth, and used it this year for K with the Tweebs.  I'm kind of up in the air about using it for 1st with the Tweebs.  More on that in my Abeka review.

I will also be posting a series of reviews on the curriculum I've used with Motormouth for 2-4th grades.  We began using Sonlight in 2nd grade, and have used it every since.

I will *hopefully* be posting a review of www.time4learning.com.  I'm kind of "shopping around" to see if I'm going to stick with Abeka for the Tweebs in 1st grade, or switch to something else.  So I applied to get a month of a subscription on the Time 4 Learning website to try out with the Tweebs, and then I will post a review of what I think.  Thing 2 is a very visual learner, and gets bored very easily, so I thought it might be worth a shot to try online curriculum. 

Since we have been using Sonlight, we read A LOT of books.  Most of which are very good.  I'll probably review the books we've read this year first, since they're fresh in my mind.  But there are also a few real standouts from previous years, that Motormouth still talks about. 

So, that said, look for my informal review of Abeka's Kindergarten and 1st grade curriculum later today.  I hope maybe I can give some good info for anyone looking into curriculum for the next school year!

See you soon.
