8^th Grade Curriculum for my son this year. We are just about to complete our first semester of junior high. As usual I'm late getting this posted.

Subjects the kids do together:

Bible: we do this together as soon as we sit down and pray. Since the kids where young we start in Genesis and end in Revelation and cycle back through. We adapt occasionally to look over topics in the Word when I feel or the kids ask about something that needs to be addressed. 

Both kids also read the Bible every night by themselves and Dad reads with them daily.

On This Day in History: A Daily Spiritual Lessons from American History by Dr. Paul E. Barkey~ This is a historically-based devotional of American history. It is set up by date but, we don’t use it by the date and read one devotion a day during the school year. This will be used for two years. It has many stories about America’s early years as witnessed by our nation’s citizens and presidents. We love the historical accounts and a daily Scripture and prayer.

Read-out-loud: We do a read- out -loud together during the week. The main reason I still do this is so my daughter gets to hear stories above her reading ability. I have to admit that I love reading to my kids! I love the discussions we have together.

This year has been good so far with a few ups and downs adjusting to curriculum. Overall it has been smooth. I can now count how many years of homeschooling I have left with my kids on one hand.

Blessing to you and your family in your homeschool this year.
