We use the Robinson Curriculum method, so he reads for 1 1/2 hours right now. The other half hour goes toward science, which he will be reading Exploring Creation With Human Anatomy and Physiology by Jeannie Fulbright.
Only about four books are actually from the Robinson Book List. I usually take away and add some others. I try to keep books that are both educational and well written. I believe that was Mr. Robinson’s intent when he looked for books for his own children.
Blessings,
We’re starting on Monday with more foarml school. I’m right there with you in struggling to figure out how much to plan, and how much is enough.So let me know when you have it figured out. Seriously, it sounds like a great week, Amy. Enjoy your Sabbath tomorrow!
