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.

Evaluation of Second Grade, Set Two

  • Bible -- this subject is working very well. K. really enjoys singing hymns. I wondered if we would enjoy reading God and a Boy since it was our third time. It was just as good and exciting this time! K. enjoys the books in the Trailblazers series. We are on schedule with our Bible memory and catechism. Searching for Treasure is more enjoyable and takes less time than I had thought.
  • Math -- we are having so much fun with math and K. is learning so much! It does take quite a bit of time to prepare. But it is well worth the time investment! I had divided the fact family triangles into three groups instead of five groups. That way we can cover all of them practicing them three days a week.
  • Reading -- K. understood sequence of events before we started, so it was mostly fun review. We are enjoying the book Story Train.
  • Grammar -- this is another subject that takes time to find ways to teach the concepts without  using worksheets too much, but it makes our time more enjoyable.
  • Writing -- I'm so glad I found Writing Hangups. These writing projects are just what K. needs.
  • Spelling -- K. is learning the spelling words great.
  • Fine Arts -- I have to be careful to keep this subject enjoyable. Sometimes I need to ignore my plans and just paint or color read poetry with her.
  • Science -- WOW! I didn't know we were going to have so much fun this year! The hardest thing for me is to keep to simple experiments that K. can participate in and understand.
  • History -- here is another subject where I need to be flexible and ready to change my plans to keep it interesting for K.
