So I'm a little late to the game, but I'm joining the Not Back to School Blog Hop over at iHomeschoolNetwork.
*Note: Some of the book levels may look a bit off for the age of my children. Mostly, this is due to assessing where they were in each subject after coming out of public school & finding the corresponding level. They are behind in some subjects & we are working to get caught up. Math-U-See teaches concepts at different times than public school does, so we needed to make sure we covered all topics. Some of the books were chosen because that's what was available at the book store & was close to their level.
J - 13 years old
Math-U-See Delta
Daily Word Problems Grade 4 (yeah, this is too easy for him, but it is helping him to focus a bit better as he has a tendency to make mistakes simply by not paying attention!)
Story of the World Volume 1: Ancient Times with corresponding readings from Egermeier's Bible Story Book (We also have the SOTW Activity & Test Books)
Drawn Into The Heart of Reading using the Level 6-7-8 workbook
Apologia Zoology 1 (He is also following along with K's Apologia Astronomy readings because these aren't really grade specific) & Notebook
Reading for the Gifted Student Grade 6
Writing Skills Grade 5 (sharing with G because I couldn't find one at his level, but it works well)
Spelling City, as well as other spelling activities (feel free to use our lists, it's free!)
Journaling
Language Arts Grade 8
Building Thinking Skills Book 1
Bible, Character Building, & Health are going to be taken from a myriad of books still stacked on my desk & printer. Mostly devotionals and For Instructions in Righteousness. J will also be reading Boyhood and Beyond.
Read-Alouds will be from Five in a Row (which ever one my library has) and Picture Book Activities (Yes, I realize he is a bit old for this, but he loves it.) I always get books from the library that correspond with our history and science books, which I may read aloud.
G-11 years old
*G has some medical issues that make some aspects of school extremely difficult for her. As such, she has fallen behind in virtually every subject, every year. This is an on-going struggle for everyone.

He also listens to the readings from Story of the World Volume 1: Ancient Times , Egermeier's Bible Story Book, Apologia Zoology 1, and Apologia Astronomy
I feel like I'm forgetting something. Hmmm.
Anyway, this is E's first year of formal teaching. I learned my lesson with J & now just let my kids play and have fun until they show me they are reading for formal learning. It works better. :)
We have already started on math and language arts. J may have already filled up a page in his "Books Read" list. He takes after his book lovin' mama. God bless him! We should be starting the Story of the World (history) & Drawn Into the Heart of Reading (DITHOR) next week. SOTW is planned through about chapter 22 & DITHOR is very much "open & go". I just need to pick a genre and a book for each kiddo.
I feel really bad because I haven't planned ANY of E's preschool. Bad mommy. I know. I'm getting around to it, I promise. Along with all the other curriculum I need to plan still. Oh, yes! I forgot about foreign language! Our local library system offers FREE courses in several languages on-line. The kids will be taking Spanish, although I have no idea when we'll start that.
So there is the run-down of our 2013-2014 Busy Beaz Academy homeschool curriculum. Hope you enjoyed a little glimpse into our very eclectic style of homeschooling!
