It is easy when looking at other people’s plans to see what they are doing, and imagine it’s more than it is. So, I thought I’d list out the things we aren’t doing to help round out the picture. It’s not that these aren’t good things, it’s that they didn’t make the cut this year. Other families will come up with other combinations of what they are and aren’t doing, and that’s a good thing.
- spelling program
- logic/critical thinking workbooks
- vocabulary exercises
“language arts” curriculum
in-depth or hands-on science
history crafts or projects
unit studies or anything elaborately correlated
social studies
literature projects
literature studied formally
art curriculum
quizzes, tests, or book reports
oral or written narrations for all readings
geography
- timeline or book of centuries
health
state history
co-ops
sports
evening commitments (one weekly exception)
preschool hands-on skills (like cutting or Kumon workbooks)
preschool curriculum (like Five-in-Row)
I’m sure I’ll think of more. :)

I love that you said this. Most people see my lists and then send me emails wondering how I fit all that I’m doing in with all that they are doing and I have to remind them it doesn’t work that way. I’m only doing all that I am doing! :)
