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, Science, Week 31

Now we are learning about what God created on the sixth day -- living creatures to walk upon the earth. This first week we looked at insects.

Monday
  • Read about day 6 in The Creation
  • I printed diagrams from HarrysBigAdventure.com of a spider and an insect
  • We talked about the differences
  • I had a blank diagram of an insect, and K. labeled it
  • Then, also from Harrys Big Adventure, I had a page of 12 creatures. K. cut them apart and glued them on construction paper labeled "bugs" and "insects".
Tuesday
  • We made labels for Herbivore, Carnivore, and Omnivore with pictures from clipart of what each would eat.
  • Then I took the insect/spider section of the Wildlife Fact File; we read what each eats, and K. decided which kind of eater it is.
Wednesday
  • Read The Honey Makers by Gail Gibbons
Thursday
  • Read "Leave That Cricket Be, Alan Lee" by Barbara Ann Porte
Friday
  • K. invented her own insect (must have 3 body parts and 6 legs). This was a sheet I printed off a website.
    • Draw a picture of the insect
    • Name it
    • Where do they make their homes?
    • Draw what their homes look like
    • What do they eat?
    • What eats them?
    • How do they protect themselves from their enemies?
