My Homeschool Curriculum List | Faithful Provisions

We started school last week so I figured it’s time for me to share my curriculum choices for our 2014-2015 year! This year I researched and prepared more than any year, and so far it is REALLY paying off. I especially needed to prepare ahead of time since having a newborn in tow! School is going more smoothly and I feel more confident in our days than ever before. Plus, my kids are noticing. They’ve told me this is the most fun year they have ever had. I think that is in part because they are not having to wait on me to make copies or figure out what we are doing. 🙂 You can follow our days on my Instagram page. I don’t always have time to pull together a post, but I love to grab quick shots of our days to share!

One big change I made this year is starting the day with what we call “Circle Time”. This is a time where we start with prayer, hymns, Bible reading, character training and more.   (I’ll try to post more on this later!) It was an idea from my friend Abby (who is so creative!) who calls theirs “Window Time”.   Call it whatever works for your family and run with it.

Here’s my curriculum list for this school year:
