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, Book Study, Week 36

This book study we used A Bear Called Paddington by Michael Bond copyright 1958. There are activities in Games with Books, but we were just reading and exploring things that were interesting to us. We are only half way through the book, but here is what we have done so far:
  • Figured out how the ship would get from Peru to England
  • Talked about the fact that people in England use different words for things
  • What is marmalade?
  • What is an inventor? (Charles Macintosh invented the raincoat/mackintosh)
  • Vocabulary
    • stowaway
    • emigrate
    • keen
    • lift (elevator)
    • mackintosh
You can make a notebook of the things you do, but K. isn't excited about doing that, so we just talk about these things for many days to reinforce them.
