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 29

Monday through Thursday we read from our textbook.
  • Ask questions using the Four Levels of Questioning and Comprehension
  • Genres
    • poem
    • folktale
Friday our activity was Same and Different from Games for Reading -- this game gives your child practice in looking at similar-looking groups of letters and in quickly identifying the difference between them.
  • Take strips of paper and draw a line down the middle.
  • On one side write a word or a group of letters or numbers
  • On the other side write either the same thing or something similar. Here are some examples of similar "words":
    • stew | stow
    • pgrt | gprt
    • 00030 | 00300
    • where | there
  • Turn one strip of paper over and show it to your child for 1 or 2 seconds.
  • Turn in back over and ask your child if the "words" were the same or different.
  • Turn the paper back over so he can check his answer.
