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 9

Monday through Thursday read stories from our textbook.

  • One was fanciful fiction, one was an informational article, one was riddles, and one was realistic fiction.
  • After the riddles, we wrote some of our own riddles.
Friday we did an activity from Games for Reading
  • Talk a Drawing. This is another game of listening.
  • Everyone playing needs to have a piece of paper and crayons, markers, or colored pencils and everyone needs to be separate so they cannot see what anyone else is drawing, but they need to be able to hear your instructions. (You need to draw also)
  • Give instructions, like: Draw a red square in the top left corner; draw a blue circle in the middle of your paper; color the blue circle red; draw an orange triangle in the bottom right corner; draw a wiggly purple line from the square to the triangle.
  • When your page is filled with shapes and lines, compare drawings.

  • You can also let your child give instructions, this helps them develop the skill of giving specific instructions.
