OLD HOMESCHOOLERS NEVER DIE . . . THEY JUST WRITE CURRICULUM


"Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew,
like showers on new grass,
like abundant rain on tender plants."

Deuteronomy 32:2

Courses of Study

To view the Course of Study for each grade level, you can click on the "Course of Study" label
or "Search This Blog" for the specific grade level you wish to see.
To date, I have courses of study completed for kindergarten through fourth grades.

Newsletter Articles

In 2013 the Lord started me producing a newsletter for the homeschool group we are a part of. Every other month I write an article on a topic the Lord has put on my heart. I've decided to add these articles to this blog. I hope you will find encouragement through some of my ramblings. You can click on the label "Newsletter" to find the articles.

Math Literature

One of the workshops we went to at the CHEA Convention was entitled 'Math Games'. It was about not using a curriculum for early elementary math. One of the handouts had a list of books that integrate math and literature. Right now we are using Math Fables by Greg Tang. Using stories it goes through numbers 1 through 10 showing all the addition combinations that make each number (1+6, 2+5, 3+4 all equal 7).

I have red and blue buttons that I hot glued together so turned one way they are blue and turned over they are red. I made a set of ten. As we read the book I have K. put out the right number of buttons, then turn over the number mentioned to show the addition equations. Here's an example:

    The button idea is pretty clever and cheap. That way she can keep the two numbers being added separated by color. I'll have to remember that.
