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 15

Monday through Thursday we read from our textbook.
  • Ask questions using the Four Levels of Questioning and Comprehension.
  • The genres were:
    • fiction
    • biography
    • historical fiction
  • The biography was about Thomas Edison, so I picked up some books from the library about him to give K. more information about him.
Friday we did an activity from Games for Reading.
  • Letter Contest -- this is a vision exercise
    • Pick a book that has some good paragraphs. I used a 4th grade reader.
    • Pick a letter. You can let your child pick one, or use another method. We have a game board with the alphabet on it, so I dropped a marker and the letter it was closest to was the letter we used. Our first letter was N.
    • Pick a paragraph and have your child count how many of that letter there are in the paragraph. K. counted all the n's.
    • Next pick another letter, and you count them in the same paragraph.
    • The person with the most wins.
    • Pick another paragraph and do it again.
