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.

Days of Creation

For Kindergarten Science, we are studying Creation. I wanted to do something hands-on for a fun way to remember what God made each day. I came up with the idea of cutting the numbers out of cardboard and then as we study each day, find corresponding pictures and words to glue on the number. I got a piece of corrugated cardboard that was 25" x 49". I made a graph (each square equalled 2") and drew the numbers on, making sure each number touched the next number in 2 places to make it more sturdy.


Then I drew the graph on the cardboard, then drew the numbers on. I used my bread knife to cut the outline of the numbers.


Here are the numbers up on the wall in K's room. I hot glued some popsicle sticks on the back of the middle of the '4' because it was a bit wobbly. I think it will be a real nice decoration when we are all done. Doing this has make K. excited about kindergarten. She is ready to start, but we have 9 more weeks, which is good since I'm not quite ready!
