Our Current Curriculum--an overview

Math:

Math-u-see Primer (dd-A...although she's just about done with the primer--horray!)
Math-u-see Alpha (dd-S)
I also use worksheets I've printed from http://www.themathworksheetsite.com in order to drill the facts in. To me it's very important that my children have a firm grasp on math facts, it's the basis all other math is built upon, so right now we're working on getting those down pat.

Science:

I'm currently using 106 Days of Creation Studies from simplycharlottemason.com which covers science from the Creationist perspective and divides the studies among the 6 days of creation. It's full of bible study as well as fun projects.
We also use the Handbook of Nature Study by Anna Botsford Comstock. Along with this awesome resource and a must have for serious Nature Study enthusiasts is the website Handbook of Nature Study. I cannot recommend this website enough--and the author is from my hometown...how cool is that?
I find it very important for children to learn about animals--especially about the animals around them, so the Burgess Animal Book for Children is also invaluable. I'll expand more on this in future posts.
One website I came across that I really enjoyed and isn't necessarily Charlotte Mason (however I believe that Charlotte Mason is HOW you teach, not WHAT you teach or WHAT you teach FROM--I have a science background, so this set appeals to me) Real Science 4 Kids.
There are many other science resources I utilize, but for now this is all I have time to list...I plan to start a book list of everything I use as well as expand on daily or weekly experiments we'll be doing.

History:

Oh history. I despised history when I was in school...it was so dull, so blad, so intangible. Boy have I changed my tune. Learning history using the Charlotte Mason method is SO MUCH BETTER!! We've read many living history books (ones I'll try to list later), but currently we're using Genesis through Deuteronomy & Ancient Egypt from simplycharlottemason.com. It starts from creation and moves on to Ancient Egypt. I have a hard time taking things out of context and although I have no problem with jumping from one time period to another while reading biographies or learning about specific events, I need a chronological overview of how we've gotten to where we are. I know most people start with a brief overview of the first humans and then jump into Ancient Egypt, but I like the way Genesis through Deuteronomy & Ancient Egypt utilizes the bible to teach history. We still haven't gotten to Egypt yet, but I do look forward to it because there are a LOT more resources out there once you get to that. One awesome book we've come across is Life in the Great Ice Age by Michael Oard. This book teaches about ancient man and the ice age from biblical perspective. Another great resource for the creationist is Answers in Genesis. I also came across the book Adam and His Kin: The Lost History of Their Lives and Times by Ruth Beechick. This book is fascinating! It speculates on what life may have been like in the days of the first humans, but it is definitely written for an older audience (probably middle school and above), but I'm reading it because it makes those days feel more tangible to me.

Geography:

I never learned much in the way of geography...and I'm almost ashamed to admit that I just RECENTLY learned the capitals of all of the U.S. states...but alas, I DID learn them, thanks to Audio Memory. We used the States and Capitals CD and we all learned the states and capitals in no time. I plan to use many more of their CD's in the future. I have to say though that we aren't thrilled with the Addition CD...it doesn't seem to work quite the same as the States and Capitals.
I just came across a USA Geography website that has games for drilling in the locations of states and other facts.
