This year's school books


It may be really hot outside, but at least we can keep busy indoors - planning!! The children have also rediscovered their lego, plus arranging a dance / play.

I will be starting the children back into their school work after our Australia Day public holiday. They'll be all motivated after another long weekend with Papa, and it will give us at least a week to focus on establishing routines before the 'after-school' activities start again.

I'll update the links in the sidebar later, but for now here's a list of all the books we're starting with year. Some of the books are carried over from last year; I find that often the children are 1/2 a year ahead. The books I use are purchased from Homeschooling Supplies, unless noted otherwise.
