Turbo lesson planning, etc.
In our break this week I have been a busy bee, trying to prepare lessons for the next 12 weeks so that I can focus on the principles and not spend all my time preparing on the weekends. You may know that we educate year-round, with a month off in April, August and December. This works very well for us.
So my plans are in overdrive. With God’s grace I was already able to plan for things that are sort of easy to plan–math (Ray’s), science (Dr. Hooker), art and English (McGuffey). Because I follow the recommendations for these subjects, that was not complicated. I find the principle and go from there.
History/geography and literature will be combined this quarter, with a majority of the study on Benjamin West and His Cat Grimalkin. I love literature studies and know that this will be a lot of fun. However I must do a lot more preparation for this, so the majority of my remaining time will be on this.
Do you wonder where my Bible plans are? Well, like Miiko, I use that as my own spiritual study, so I do that as we go. It is so enjoyable and rewarding. Spanish always seems to be the subject that gets left behind, so I’m not sure if we will work that in or not.
As I always do, I’ll share what resources I’m using and what I discover along the way. And I’m planning on sharing an interesting post on food very soon, so stay tuned for that. Oh, and if you are a member of the bibleprinciples group then watch your inbox for a post on an exciting study coming up in May that Lisa H. and I are working on. Good stuff!

Friends all over
Can’t wait to see that study in May. Very good stuff on Hooker’s Book of nature. I had to get a copy and just got it today. It is amazing!
Keep up the good work. You all are a blessing and an encouragement!

Oh you will love it. I got so sad when I was planning the end of our year! But we will move to animals next year and my 5dd will be along for the lessons too. That will be fun!
As you know I”m eating up everything you share…seeing how it fits with our homeschool. Thanks for sharing how u go about planning…it will be a great help for me in about 4 weeks(or even now as I start to think about it)….
Great stuff! And I also wanted to let you know that you are welcome to “advertise” Miss Dang’s seminar on principium if you think it appropriate. I got several requests the first day, but that seems to have stopped. There are only five people on the waiting list right now, and that is manageable.
sniff, sniff. And now I’m offended you left me off your blogs list : (
(Just kidding…but you’re on MINE like two or three times now. So there!)
And if I ever get my sidebar over here figured out, you’ll be over there a few times, too!
Dana,
awww. Don’t cry sweetie. You were actually first on the list but it didn’t like you there, so when I moved you to second, there you were! Now I’m not puttiing all three. That’s just silly.
Is the Blogger the one you wanted me to link to?
And I would LOVE to put her CD’s everywhere. I’ll advertise them here, on Principium news blog (not that anyone reads it) and on the home page there too. Hope we can get some interest in her wonderful teaching.

yeah…blogger is good for now. I didn’t make a firm decision, and now I don’t exactly have the time to devote much energy to fixing this one over here up. I may get there after this project is done…but then I think that *hopefully* by then I will have another project. We’ll see. You could just go back into magazine editing and we at bibleprinciples can just publish our own magazine.
I was just kidding about the blog list thing. I had just noticed that I had you linked in a few places and was considering cleaning it up a bit. Then I thought, nah. She’s worth having a few links to, just in case someone misses it : )
