curriculum
Ive decided to do homeschool in a year round curriculum, 3 months on; 1 month off. In the 1 month I can gather information for the next three months. Its not as daunting, and it seems to work well with our schedule. Im going to be picking up some curriculum for our next starting session.
This is my goal:
May-July - On
August-Off
September-November -On
December - Off
Jan - March - On
April -Off
So Im checking out information that will be for our September chapter, I want to get some math, and science into our curriculum. For now we've been doing ABC themes, and shes really picking up on the sounds of letters, in everyday words, and shes getting the letter sounds right away now, instead of taking 7-14 days to get it. So I think we will be moving faster through the alphabet at this point. Im adding sight words in, I keep wanting to, but keep forgetting to look up a printable poster, and what sight words would be the best.
Science PreK-K
Science 1-2 *I think I will go this route, the other one seems too easy for her, we browsed the book and she could do most of it without second thought or any explaining on my part.
Phonics K-1 It seems a bit advanced for her now, but the lower one wouldnt be challenging. Will hold off for now and reanalyze later.
K Math Cheap price, am considering.
Skill Sharpener Math : K Seems to have some good math help and ideas, may be easy to find printables on this though, but then for 10.00 and free shipping through the month, maybe its better/easier.
Skill Sharpener, Reading: K some of the activities seem to be good, most we already do though.
How to report on Books: K I like this, its on my list to buy. My daughter would love the story aspect, story lines, and the fun activities to correlate. And for the price, even better! She is such a story teller, I think she would really enjoy this kit.
Natives of Americas, Woodland Indians
Natives of Americas, Plains Indians
I believe I will do one of these in the fall, we tried doing some activities last fall, but was as certain where to begin. I like the idea of these books, and the price is good too. Not sure which one of the above two I would get.
