MFW: Reformation to Rome Curriculum Organization
We have moved on to 5th Grade and will also be combining 1st grade (Learning God's Story) to our school year. K is excited to learn all about Rome, she really loves history. D is happy to move on to 1st grade, he says he is grown now. Below I will be showing you how I organized our new school area and the curriculum for the year. Also will add each week we complete below. Pray this will help someone out there.
ROME TO REFORMATION (5th Grade)
LEARNING GOD'S STORY (1st Grade)
The Curriculum we will be using this semester and we will also be using a few books from our 4th grade curriculum.
I've organized the ROME TO REFORMATION CURRICULUM by sections using tabs in the notebook and teacher's manual by weeks. First part of the notebook is cursive worksheets, second part are the student worksheets, then the art cards in the zipper pocket, and at the end the art cards. K will have a separate notebook for her to store all her works.
For D's LEARNING GOD'S STORY CURRICULUM I already had it ready since I used it for K when she went through 1st grade. The teacher's manual and student notebook I divided it by sections with tabs by week. After the student worksheets is the memory verse worksheets, and then the art cards.
Laminated all the pictures of the TIMELINE after coloring them. I cut them out and on the back wrote what week each picture is for. Got the timeline from Tasha Wiginton blog, since we don't have the wall space. Printed the timeline pages (scroll) on card stock and then laminated them, after which I taped them together to form a book. Placed the pictures in a zipper pouch to secure them.
Some of the resources we will be using for our Bible time.
D is using Hooked on Phonics and K will be using Spectrum Language Arts and All About Reading (not pictured) for their Language Arts and Spelling. Also will be working on cursive handwriting with both of them.
For math K will continue to use Singapore math and D will use the Math workbook that comes with his curriculum and the pattern animals worksheets.
Placed expanded numbers (which D will be using), Peter the Wolf cd, and memory verse I placed in zipper pouched, and we will be listening to several cd's too.
Some of our SCIENCE books pictured here for K and D.
Here are some of our HISTORY books pictured.
Several of our reading alouds, pretty excited to start these.
Top left picture holds the folders for the week and week ahead, found this at Michaels craft store, bottom left picture shows our library bookcase, several bins that holds our stamps, colored rice & pasta, and a few of our sensory manipulatives. Next to the bins are two rolling shelves that hold all of our office supplies, paint supplies, markers, alphabet materials, and extra school supplies. Right picture is a closer look of our library, we do have a lot more books just need to find a new bookshelf. In front is our awesome 10 year old puppy who always has to be near us, why we have a bed in our school room.
On the top picture is our game shelf, HP printer under that hold all the Hooked on Phonics boxes, and the brown shelf holds all the curriculum books and notebooks. Bottom picture is where all our school materials is housed, manipulatives, pencils, etc... Also our keyboard is on this side which we will start practicing on and adding the famous recorder to the mix.
School room is in the basement, which has been a great blessing for us. We finally have a place to store all of our school materials. Top picture is our school room without the table in the middle, lots of space. Middle picture is how it will look when we have the table and chairs out. The bottom picture is the second half of the basement, which is the game room. In the game room we also have a mini fridge and a snack bar on top of that. Next to that is our mini file cabinet and on top of that houses the puppets. Our laundry room is also in the basement next to the mini fridge.
Here are our pets (my other children). Top left is our puppy Zeus, top right is our bearded dragon Larry Boy, bottom left is Coco our Cockatiel, middle picture is 4 goldfish, and bottom right is our 3 dwarf frogs.
We are excited for our new journey this school year. Below I will be adding each week we finish our lesson. Praying for a smoother year compared to our last one. The kids have worked so hard and still are working hard especially in their reading. New year, new curriculum, new hope for all of us. Placing everything in God's hand for him to continue to lead us in the path He wants us to take. Unto our new adventures starting next week.
