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.

Kindergarten, Reading, Week 4

Monday we read the last story in our textbook for this section. Questions involved:
  • Reading silently for information
  • picture reading
  • literal, interpretive, critical, and appreciative thinking
  • Is this reality or fantasy?
Tuesday we worked on Sequence.
  • I had 3 books of The Little Red Hen, so I cut the pictures out of the one I liked least.
  • K. read the story from the one we like most.
  • Then she took the pictures and put them in order (1st - 8th: Ordinals integrating Math)
  • I had glued 3 sheets of construction paper together and stapled one end to a paper towel roll (scroll: integrating History), K. glued the pictures into the scroll.
  • When the glue was dry we rolled up the scroll and glued a piece of yarn on the outside.

Wednesday through Friday we read (and finished) Blaze and the Forest Fire.
  • We discussed the story and words she might not know usually deciding the definitions from the context.
  • One day 'to', 'too', and 'two' were all on one page, so we stopped and discussed their meanings because I had been noticing that K. had been writing "Too Mom and Papa".
