School Year 2008-2009

In a recent conversation with fellow bloggers, the topic of curriculums came up and it was suggested that we post what books we are using for our school year.

The name of our school is "Saints Philip Neri and John Vianney Academy" St. Philip for his joyful spirit and St. John Vianney for his brilliance, I love his writings! Both saints are so funny too.

Since I have 6 in school this year plus 3 tots I'll just post the girls' subjects today, the boys' subjects another day and the tots another day. I do combine some subjects sometimes. I did not include Physical Education as they are constantly playing playground games, climbing trees, riding bikes and other physical education skills. I also haven't posted the free reading books as I'm still looking at those and we have a decent size library for their constant perusal.
