You have two kiddos who are engaged, excited about learning, and being fed a wonderful diet of God's creation. You are giving them what they need right now. You don't need to plan for next year because you've already got it going. Is there something unsatisfying about what you are doing now? You don't need more. You've already got a feast spread out before your children--now let them eat.<BR/>Relax. You are doing fine. Why do you think you need to jump ahead? Be where you are. Be present in this moment. There is time to plan when it is closer to 5th grade. <BR/>Said in love.<BR/>Chris in vaChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751083062428216110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35451298.post-59293118575615399942008-03-21T00:53:00.000-04:002008-03-21T00:53:00.000-04:00All those options would be great!

I have no right answer for you, but I just posted a poem on my blog that I think you'll appreciate! :) I should have dedicated it to you!<BR/><BR/>Which Prentice Hall books did you get? I was looking at the Chem and Physics ones for my 6th grader next year. <BR/>Leemy5wolfcubshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296523746527569586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35451298.post-14106908039267754052008-03-20T14:53:00.000-04:002008-03-20T14:53:00.000-04:00Sorry to add another option but have you looked at...Sorry to add another option but have you looked at Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding by Bernard J. Nebel? I guess it is supposed to be for K-2, so it would be more for Danny. It also may not be what you are looking for but I think it looks great and am excited about using it with my kids in a few years. I've been looking around for a while and nothing completely clicked with me until I found this. I've just started reading it and seems to be very hands on, interactive, and "real life." It looks like it will build a great foundation for further science explorations and allow for me to add my own extras to it. <BR/>Lisa in the UP of MI <BR/>P.S. I plan on nature studies to be an important part of our science studies too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
