Curriculum Organization: MFW Creation to the Greeks
This year the kids will be doing the same curriculum is Creation to the Greeks, K has gone through it already so it will be a refresher for her. Looking forward to doing this curriculum with the kids, exploring, and learning all the new things.
BIBLE
Some of the books we will be using for our bible studies.
LANGUAGE ARTS
This time around we will be concentrating more on spelling, reading, writing, and comprehension. Want to definitely work more on spelling and writing.
Besides learning some Greek and Latin words we will also learn Spanish, our native language.
MATH
Will continue using Singapore Math, kids really like it, and learn so much from it .
HISTORY
Lots of great books for our studies this semester, excited for this adventure.
Studying in depth on Egypt, one of our favorite places to learn more about.
TIMELINE
Colored in and laminated the timeline pictures, then printed the scroll worksheets I got from Tasha Wiginton blog. Also laminated the scroll worksheets and taped them to look more like an accordion book, since we don't have the wall space to put the timeline up. Behind each picture for the timeline I wrote the week it corresponds with and then placed a velcro dot on it since that's how we will place it on the timeline. Used this same method for 1st and 2nd grade timeline.
SCIENCE
More in depth of God's creation and pyramids, probably adding more along the way. We all love Science and like exploring everything we can.
READ ALONG
Few books we will be using for out read-along this semester.
ART
Using God and the History of Art, which comes with postcards of different art pieces, and worksheets. Also will be adding more along the way to go with what we are studying for the week.
OUR SCHOOL ROOM/GAME ROOM
Here is a look of our basement which we use to use for our school room. Now it hold our library and some items we use for school, it also is the kids playroom, and music room. D is taking drum lessons so we moved the school room upstairs in our dining room.
Library and a few of items we will use for school throughout the school year, located in the basement.
Our new location in the dining room, it also helps with having the puppy now and being able to take him out whenever he needs to go potty.
Closer look of our shelves, organization carts, and materials.
Reorganized all of the art supplies, the kids have really shown an interest in art, so I wanted to make sure they had easy access to all the materials they would need.
Also organized the paint drawers to make it easier for the kids to find what they need, and finally got all the office supplies in one location.
CONCLUSION
Messages like this keeps me motivated to continue our homeschool journey. I always ask the kids if they want to give public school a chance and they always say no. We love the freedom we have and really enjoy doing life together. Blessed that God has allowed me to be able to teach our kids, never thought I would of done this journey, I've really enjoyed learning right along with the kids. K is now going to 8th grade and D will be starting 4th. On to new adventures, loads of fun, and exploration.
Will be adding each week below that we complete with our previous grades we've completed.
GOD BLESS!
