I'm not sure what I'll end up with. Co-op books are a given. I had a rough draft for CHC and one for Seton for our morning tabletime. I already have what I need regarding MODG used by older siblings.
Then the other day I thought of scratching it all and going with Sonlight suggestions. History will be done ala A Picture Perfect Childhood and a revamping of the PPC history list is in order. So watch for new suggestions.
But today is not tomorrow. Today it's still summer!
It was definitely a blogable day, even if I only had my phone camera for the picture-taking.
That's probably why our actual lessons don't end up looking anything like the paper ones in reality. That's another reason to plan frugally while happily following serendipity wherever she leads you during the year. That's why it's best to read these posts and these posts for the truer picture of our educational days rather than looking at last year's plans.
(Beware! They are pretty boring.)

The blogable things show the best of our schooling and learning and enjoyment of life. If it isn't blogable then maybe it shouldn't be on our list.
Lists are meaningless if not taken off the paper and into your children's hearts.
Today was a wonderful day! Definitely more blogable than the list of curricula which will be written out tomorrow.
Days worthy of Creating a Sense of Wonder, days with Nothing But Gladness, days for Playing on the Farm, days of keeping in step with a Picture Book Education, days for Bringin' in the Sheaves and definitely days meaningful enough for blogging gives a truer sense of self, a more fulfilling sense of education, and a better outlook on our daily lives than a mere list.
I say this but I admit to being thoroughly excited about the possibilities that our list-making can be a form of prayer. It justifies all those pages and pages of lists I've ever created throughout my lifetime. I think most bloggers are list-makers. It's part of our nature.
Look for postings under 2011-2012 School Year to see our educational plans come alive...despite my plans. ;-)
