So it is once again time for the Not Back to School Blog Hop at Heart of the Matter. This week is Curriculum Week, so I get to share with you what we will be using for the 2011-2012 school year.
We will be picking up where we left off in May with the same curriculum. We started a new curriculum midyear last year, so we will continue on with it until finished (probably around January also) and then go to the next Program in their series.
I will be using Heart of Dakota's Little Hands to Heaven for my almost five year old and then continue on with their next Program- Little Hearts for His Glory using the Kindergarten package in the new year of 2012.
You can read about the specifics of Little Hands to Heaven in my post here.
For this year we will be using Heart of Dakota's Preparing Hearts for His Glory program for Squirt, my 5th grader. It includes everything I need to teach her. Here is my original post with the specs for what is known in Heart of Dakota shorthand as PHFHG.
or Heart of Dakota's Preparing Hearts for His Glory.
This is a program designed for students ages 8-10 with other added books which can extend that up to 11 or 12 (we are doing the expected 8-10 age group books). This year's study will give a broad overview of world history starting with Creation and ending in the late 1900's. (We stopped in May at Christ's Resurrection.)
Preparing Hearts for His Glory Guide (PHFHG) is not just a Teacher's Manual. It is designed to be shared between the student and the teacher. It has Independent Work instructions written directly to the student as well as instructions to the teacher.
This guide includes History, Poetry, Dictation, Spelling, Literature, Bible Study, & Science. It has schedules for recommended Language and Math which are Rod & Staff English, Heart of Dakota's Drawn Into the Heart of Reading (DITHOR) & Singapore Math.

The full list of all the books that come in the program you can find in my post here. Squirt has completed about 19 weeks already of the 36 week program of PHFHG. She will use Rod and Staff English 2 and 3 this year and Singapore Math 4A & 4B.
Blessings!

Edie - Thank you SO much for your kind words regarding my "curriculum crisis" post! I have taken some hits, so to speak, since making my change public so I can't tell you how much it means to me to hear that someone else really went through the same experience with MFW! I had read this post about your curriculum choices when you first posted it; I hope you're still having a great time with your HOD programs! I'm now doing Mystery of History and 106 Days of Creation Studies (science) and have put together good stuff for the other areas as well. As you said, I'm so thankful there are so many options - something to suit anyone! :^)
