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 32

This week we started looking at mammals and reptiles.

Monday
  • We pulled out the Carnivore, Herbivore, and Omnivore labels we made last week and categorized about 20 mammals and 5 reptiles.

Wednesday
  • We made labels for Nocturnal (with pictures of night) and Diurnal (with the sun and daytime pictures).
  • We categorized about 20 mammals. I was surprised how many nocturnal animals there were.
The other days of the week we read the following books:
  • Big Tracks, Little Tracks: Following Animal Prints by Millicent E. Selsam
    • This is a good book as it not only shows the tracks, but has some problems for you and your child to solve
  • A Lady Bug's Life by John Himmelman
    • Each page has a large drawing and 1 sentence of text.
  • Insects by Angela Royston
    • Excellent photographs; covers topics from "What is an insect?" to "Insect defenses" with large photographs and font. There is just enough text on each page to give the information without boring a young child.
  • The Very Quiet Cricket by Eric Carle
    • Fiction, fun book
