at least one copy of these journals or you will have to order new ones and I
don’t know if they have changed, but they have gotten more expensive and they
make you buy a set of 5….<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(The kits used
to be $32-36, which I thought was expensive then, but now they are about $60,
so guard them!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would have saved more

This is based around the SOTW IV spreads.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you need more details on the history books
I use as spines, I can provide authors, etc. for those.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With this time period, a lot of our reading
doesn’t really mirror the history subject under study (as it does with earlier
time periods).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead, we are reading
from authors’ whose writings were basically contemporaneous with the time
period we’re studying in history.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<br />
And here are other categories I have added to my list and what I've read from those:<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">A Page Turner!</span></strong> <em>The Girl on the Train</em>, Paula Hawkins<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" height="200" id="igImage" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/516YNFvZnrL.jpg" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 334px;" width="133" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Non-fiction on Current Events of Interest:</span></strong> <em>Lights Out</em>, Ted Koppel<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" height="200" id="igImage" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/412-bYDI0CL.jpg" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 333px;" width="133" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">Innovative Science:</span></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">A Book About War:</span></strong> <em>Kite Runner</em>, Kaled Hosseini (Finally! I've been meaning to read it for years - In Order to Live would also fit this bill....)<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" height="200" id="igImage" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51MtGFNeYjL.jpg" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 320px;" width="128" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;">A Book Containing Absolutely Bizarre Characters:</span></strong> <em>A Confederacy of Dunces</em>, John Kennedy Toole <br />
<br />
(This could also fit with a book published posthumously; a book you should have read in school, etc. and is another I've meant to read for years....)<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" height="200" id="igImage" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51zP2kOP%2BCL.jpg" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 315px;" width="126" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Next up, to fill the bill for <strong>A Book Chosen for You by Your Child</strong>, I will be reading <em>Moby Dick</em> (which, for me, could also fit with A Book You Previously Abandoned, lol!)<br />
<br />
After that, I will be reading another from a category I added: <strong><span style="color: blue;">A Book That is a Take-off of a Classic</span></strong> - and I will be reading <em>Ahab's Wife</em>, Sena Jeter Naslund.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" height="200" id="igImage" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51eZv9GMBtL.jpg" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 332px;" width="132" /><br />
<br />
So, I have 18 total categories, thus far, to try to finish up this year: twelve from the ready-made challenge list I printed off, and another six I added to that. To date, I have read books for seven of those, and have two more on deck to complete after I finish <em>Confederacy</em>, for a total of nine. Almost halfway there!<br />
<br />
What are you reading this year?Regenahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09514247286888818382noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1373838005234058414.post-11248673864191475022016-02-21T11:18:00.000-05:002016-02-21T11:22:36.976-05:00First Grade, Week 2 ScheduleI haven't posted any of the rest of these this year. I'm not sure anyone is really interested in them and when using library books, you sort of have to be specific to your own library, so I'm not sure the books I'm requesting for someone in a small town in upstate Minnesota will be helpful to those elsewhere....<br />

Now you begin working with number bonds or fact families (or whatever else
they've been called over time). It's just your basic facts: <br />
<br />
2 + 0 =
2
<br />
2 + 1 = 3 - - - 1 + 2 = 3 - - - 3 - 1 = 2 - - - 3 - 2 = 1 <br />
2 + 2 = 4<br />
2 + 3 = 5<br />
2 + 4 = 6<br />
2 + 5 = 7 - - - 5 + 2 = 7 - - - 7 – 5 = 2 - - - 7 – 2 = 5 (you get the picture,
there are four for each)<br />
2 + 6 = 8<br />
2 + 7 = 9<br />
2 + 8 = 10<br />
2 + 9 = 11<br />
2 + 10 = 12<br />
<br />
You get the picture. Addition Facts, Subtraction Facts, then later
Multiplication and Division Facts. Learning these now makes adding and
subtracting much faster and easier, facilitating easier math work later, when
problems are more complex (fewer mistakes then, too)....<br />

I have also included cards for 11 and 12, so add those in at this time, as
well. (Don't know how much Spanish you know: "once" is
not pronounced like our 'once' - you say it with a short 'o', as in the word
"on" and the 'c' is soft, like an 's' - so "on - say" and
12 is said like "doe - say," with a long 'o'....<br />
<br />
I also added in the cards for star and triangle (also circle and butterfly,
since you are working with those things right now). Just type in the
words and "pronunciation" online to hear them said aloud in Spanish
if you need that (true for any word these days).... I'm sure you already

<br />
Hello! I've been working with my niece to help her get started in homeschooling her daughter. They live in Minnesota, so this schedule attempts to reflect their state requirements, their seasons (for outdoor, science studies), their outside activities, and the books available through their local library system. I hope it might prove helpful to others getting started on the road to homeschooling, as well!<br />

including one called <b><i><span style="color: #7030a0;">A World of Faith</span></i></b>,
which gives you one-page explanations about the religions of different children
all over the world, which you can then discuss more with her. You might
just read one at a time so as not to be too confusing. I know that you
have memory verses for her through AWANA, too, and if you ever need more there
are tons of resources for that online. The Lord’s Prayer is good to learn
at this age, if she doesn’t already know it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And it is good to learn it’s meaning, for even if she does know the
words, she may not know their meaning…. </span></div>

You <b>read aloud to her pages 11 - 15. </b>This is a short vowel
sound review. After you read each sound once, have her repeat after
you. You should not need to play the games associated with this as she
should have received plenty of this info in pre-K and K. For practice,
have her read <b>page 19 </b>after you read through it first. Remember,
these are all short vowel sounds, so the word "so" is not the word we
commonly use in speech, but a nonsense word as are the others just to practice
short vowel sounds. s-a (as in the baa sound a sheep makes); s-o (as in
the ahhhhh sound that short 'o' makes), etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Literature / Read - Aloud Time:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
<br />
Explain to her that <b>reading silently </b>to ourselves and <b>reading aloud </b>are
different kinds of work for the brain and exercise different parts of the
brain, so both are important. She will learn to read this year and will
read aloud to you sometimes and you will read aloud to her and discuss what has
been read to make sure she understands it. She can ask questions any time
(but you might want her to put her hand on your elbow or knee or something and
wait until you get to a good stopping place for her to ask) and you will try to
explain to her, if you can, what the answer to her question is or you will make
a note and look up the answer together later. <br />
<br />
Tell her that sometimes the stories you read during literature time will be
fanciful, made-up stories about things that don't really exist and perhaps
never have and never will exist. Stories such as this are called<b>
fiction</b>. This means the stories are not really true (or we cannot
prove that they are true). These types of stories include fairy tales
(fairies are not real, so far as we know), fables (a fairy tale that has a
lesson, or moral, in it), myths, legends, and other such things. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, true stories about real people, animals or things
are called <b>non-fiction</b>, meaning they are the exact opposite of
fiction. They are true, so far as we know. These will include books
that you read about science topics and most of the history books you read
(although you will read fictional stories for history, too).<br />
<br />
There are also other kinds of stories, that may tell you about a true thing but
may use fictional (cartoon or other make believe) types of characters to tell
the story. An example of this type of story would be The Magic School Bus
Books, Ms. Frizzle's Adventure books, etc. These types of books are often
called <b>"informational storybooks"</b> - they combine non-fiction
information with fun, fictional characters. We all know that people and
school buses cannot become tiny enough to travel through the blood vessels of
the human body, fly out into space to visit all the other planets, or do other
such things. That part of the story is fictional, or non-true.
However, the parts of the human body, the solar system planets and other things
that the books tell us about are real and the information given about those
things is true. So the book is part true and part fiction.<br />
<br />
Another type of fiction book is called <b>"realistic fiction"</b> -
this would be a story that seems so real that you could believe that the people
and places in the story really exist and that the things in the story really
happened, but they didn't. Later this year, when you are reading more,
you may read some Amelia Bedelia books, or Nate the Great books, and those
would be examples of realistic fiction. After you read a few of their
books, you will feel like you know them and might meet them somewhere, but they
are not real people.... They were made up by the person who wrote the
book - a book writer is called an <b>author</b>.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, if you read some of the Frog and Toad books this year, or
some of the Wind in the Willow books, you would never think that frogs and
toads live in little houses like the ones we live in and talk to each other the
way we people do. Nor would you ever believe that weasels, badgers or
other animals of the woods live in houses like people with furniture, taking
tea and having picnics - that would be silly! Those books are clearly <b>fiction</b>.
<br />
<br />
So as you read every day this year, try to identify whether the book you are
reading is a work of fiction, or is true (or something in between)....<br />
<br />
<b>Books to read: </b><br />
<br />
Tell her that the books you are going to read from every day are related to the
things you will be studying later for science and history, or sometimes will be
just for fun.<br />
<br />
You will be studying bugs in science at this time, so choose one or more books,
as time allows related to whatever bugs you are studying first. Choose
from things like: Eric Carle's <b>Very Hungry Caterpillar; Very
Grouchy Ladybug; Very Quiet Cricket, Very Busy Spider, Click Beetle, etc.
(These are informational storybooks.) <span style="color: #2672ec;">Pull
these books from your library if you don't already have them at home.</span></b><br />
<br />
Or, read some of the fictional <span style="color: #008a17;">library books </span>for
this week, such as: <b><span style="color: #008a17;">I Love Bugs!, The
Magic School Bus: Bugs, Bugs, Bugs; Diary of a Worm; Yucky Worms; I Wish I Were
a Butterfly; The Honeybee Man; Waiting for Wings; The Ants go Marching; In the
Tall, Tall Grass; Arrrgh! Spider!; Be Nice to Spiders; Diary of a Spider; or, The
Itsy Bitsy Spider. </span></b><span style="color: #008a17;"><br />
</span><br />

<b>Spelling Workout, Level A </b>- this book begins with a little phonics and
letter writing practice, which is why I went ahead and chose Level B in the
handwriting book for you. The A level book for writing was completely
just writing letters and I am hopeful that she is ready to do more than just
that.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This book is really set up for one week lessons, with you
doing a page every day and taking the test on Fridays (after you get a little
way into the book). If you want to save it to use again, just place the
plastic pages over top of each page and have her write on that. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The "Learning to Spell a Word" page, just inside
the book (page 4, for me) gives you good ideas on learning to spell.
Different tricks work well for different people. One important thing to
remember is NOT to allow misspelling if you can help it, because once done, it
imprints and causes the word to be misspelled over and over again. So
watch as she spells her words and immediately correct when you see a wrong
letter starting to be written.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In addition to just writing a word with her finger, she can
also write her words in sand, shaving cream, whipped cream (yummy), pudding, or
other things as you see fit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We ALWAYS kept a "Trouble Word" list and any words
missed in the spelling test went on there and periodically got re-spelled (had
to get them correct at least 3 times before they were removed from the
list). You can use the "Spelling Notebook" pages at the back of
the book, if you want....<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">If trouble words continued to be missed, then we would work

each at that age....</span></div>

found a place online where I can see part of the contents of the main Spanish

<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Spanish for Children
Chapter 1</span></strong><br />
<br />
Because I am not sure that there are breaks in the CD that will allow you to do
just one page or exercise at a time, I will suggest that you listen all the way
through each chapter and just follow along with your fingers in the book
on the first day, then re-listen and fill out the exercises on the second day.<br />
<br />
If you want to re-use this workbook (I have never found extra workbooks-only
available for sale), then I suggest placing a clear sheet of plastic over the
page and allowing her to write with either a dry erase or wet erase marker.<br />
<br />
For those exercises that ask you to cut out, color, etc., then I might suggest
that you photocopy those pages if you have access to a color copier that would
not be too expensive for you. If you do not, then you might modify
them. For instance in the exercise in chapter two, where it tells
you to cut out and place items in a basket, you might instead place a plastic
sheet over the basket and have her draw in items over the basket; or you could
cut out magazine pics and place those on the basket; or if this exercise forms
a two-page spread, she could draw a line from the items to the basket if you
put plastic over both pages, etc. (I can't tell, from the website, how
the pages are laid out in the book....)<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">Day 1</span></strong><br />
<br />
Read the intro about what you're going to be learning and turn on the CD to
listen. Follow along with the songs on page 69, if you want.<br />
<br />
Listen through Chapter One, I assume to end - I'm not sure how they have the CD
tracks laid out. As the children's names are said, just point to them
this first day to help her (as I assume she is really not reading).<br />
<br />
REPEAT the Spanish words as they say them as much as you can and keep
encouraging her to do that, too. If she isn't saying the words, she won't
learn them!<br />
<br />
I don't think they read the FUN FACTS that are included on the tape. You
can read these on DAY TWO, so don't stop for them now.<br />
<br />
Don't draw the picture yet. You will do this on DAY THREE.<br />
<br />
I don't recall whether or not they read the CHECKLIST that is at the end
of each chapter, but I think they DO read the little cartoon, and that is fun,
so listen all the way through if they do and follow along with your finger.</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Phonics Pathways, page 21 and 23. </b>This is more of the two letter
blends. I think these are more confusing than helpful, as some of them,
like "so" yesterday, are two letter words that will have very
different sounds later, so I don't like these. I would help her through
these two pages today, emphasizing the short vowel sounds, and the second page
ends with a three letter word, "ran." I think it will be better
to move on to three letter words for learning to read. These more typically
make the correct short vowel sound in the middle. At first, you just
repeat one or two of the words and have her follow you, then see if she will
try them herself. Keep prompting her if she won't try. For
instance: What sound does the letter 'm' make? Mmmmmmmmmmm.
What is the short vowel sound for the letter 'u'? Remember, the vowels
say their name when they make the long sound, but the short sound is
different. 'U' makes the uhhhhh sound.... Put those together:
mmmmmmuhhhh....<br />
<br />
Again, this book presumes that you may be either starting with a pre-schooler
who may not know all their letters and their sounds perfectly (and Kindergarten
should have taught her this), or an illiterate person who may not have ever
read and so may not know the alphabet well. Assuming she knows her
letters and sounds, these two letter "words" are not all that helpful
and may be confusing, so I think it's best not to use too many of them.<br />
<br />
That's all for today. Tomorrow you will start three letter word blends
which I think will make more sense to her.</span><br />

play some with the clock to make it show the times shown on the work

your clock. Can you show me what time it will be one hour later?
(or earlier? but if earlier she will have to wind the clock all the way back
around because she should not wind it counter-clockwise....) Or, you have

you'd like to view and sketch before releasing.... I think you already

too. I believe there's at least one of those little bug's eye view
viewers in there. You look through it and get a sense of how bugs see
things....<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Talk about compound eyes,
etc.<br />
<br />
To help fill out your study - or for rainy days or time back home, I am sending
you a build-your-own- bug sort of set. It is called <b><span style="color: #7030a0;">Amazing Bugs.</span></b><span style="color: #7030a0;">
</span>You snap on moving legs or wings, etc. to various bugs as you read
through the book. Some of the snaps are kinda hard to work, but you can
just lay them on if you can't snap them....<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>(I will fit this in to the study later….)<br />
<br />
There's also a <span style="color: #7030a0;">Janice Van Cleave <b>Insects and
Spiders </b>Science Fair Project book</span>. Not that you have to be
entering a science fair to use these experiments.... You can use some of
these to guide your outdoor nature study time. For instance: the
first project: Catchers. You could experiment with different ways
of catching insects. The second project: Diggers. Go play in
the dirt and see what kind of insects (or insect parts) you find
there.... <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The third one:
Jointed. Catch a cricket (or grasshopper) and look up close at its

like to have your skeleton outside your body?) <br />
<br />
All have segmented bodies and jointed appendages. <br />
<br />
All are invertebrates (no spinal column). <br />
<br />
Arthropod phylum includes the: Insects, Arachnids, Myriapods (millipedes
and centipedes) and Crustaceans (most of which live in the sea, save for the
Pill Bug).<br />
<br />
Insects have 6 legs. Arachnids (spiders and their kin) have 8 legs.
<br />
Most insects have wings at some point in their lifespan, even if they unhook
them and don't keep them all their lives (like ants do, after migrating to new
colonies). <br />
<br />
The only common insects that never have wings are fleas, lice, and silverfish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I adopted the same approach during this year that I had the year before - while we tried to cover a number of physical science topics for the year, there were virtually no field trip or other outside activities in our area that pertained to this subject, so we also continued taking the opportunity to attend activities or field trips that pertained to other areas of science. I'll list what we did by way of physical science topics first, followed by the other science we did over the course of the year.<br />
<br />
<strong>Force and Motion</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Week 1:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Began reading from <em>Experiment with Movement</em>, regarding force and motion. Also read about the topic from <em>How Science Works</em> (same spine used from last year).<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51XTQMFEJPL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 475px; max-width: 384px;" width="161" /> (We also used this book a little last year....)<br />
<br />
Began experiments from <em>Science in a Nutshell: Energy and Motion.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em><a href="http://www.delta-education.com/productdetail.aspx?Collection=Y&prodID=1052">http://www.delta-education.com/productdetail.aspx?Collection=Y&prodID=1052</a></em><br />
<br />
<strong>Week 2:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Continued <em>Nutshell</em> experiments.<br />
<br />
My son read: <br />
<br />
<em>Work: Forces and Machines, </em>Terry Jennings.<br />
<em>Everything Moves, </em>Seymour Simon.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21kuLTNSW2L.jpg" id="igImage" style="max-height: 200px; max-width: 125px;" /> (This book contains simple experiments and activities, too....)<br />
<br />
<br />
(He began reading a lot more in science during this school year, in addition to his other reading.)<br />
<br />
<strong>Gears</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Week 3:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Completed <em>Nutshell</em>.<br />
<br />
Read about gears in <em>How Science Works </em>and <em>Experiment with Movement.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
Began playing with gears and making gear assemblies.<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 4:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Continued working on Gears <em>Nutshell.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em><a href="http://www.delta-education.com/productdetail.aspx?Collection=Y&prodID=1049">http://www.delta-education.com/productdetail.aspx?Collection=Y&prodID=1049</a></em><br />
<em></em><br />
Read from <em>The Clock</em>, Wil Mara.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51JYRR4FC4L.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 432px;" width="172" /><br />
<br />
My son read about gears and pulleys from <em>Simple Machines and How They Work, </em>Elizabeth Sharp.<br />
He also read <em>Clocks and How They Go, </em>Gail Gibbons.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81RtyQ1QLuL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 1500px; max-width: 1161px;" width="154" /> ( I actually got a lot of books at a library book sale the summer before we started this study. I love the thorough and age appropriate way a lot of these books explain science concepts. They are not rife with error, as so many more modern books, either....)<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 5:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Worked more with gears (I also had a couple of kid's game kits that contained gears that he put together.)<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>Simple Machines</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Week 6:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Began study of simple machines, using workbook pages from <em>The Complete Book of Science 3/4.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YXqr-QqvL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 374px;" width="149" /><br />
<em></em><br />
<em></em><br />
Read about simple machines in <em>Experiment with Movement.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
Read <em>I Want to Know About ... Houses; Circus; Tools for Building </em>(last section) and also <em>The Lever and The Pulley, </em>Hal Hellman.<br />
<br />
Finished by reading about simple machines from <em>Science is Exploring, </em>Scott Foresman and <em>Simple Machines and How They Work, </em>Elizabeth N. Sharp.<br />
<br />
<strong>Electricity</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Week 7:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Complete Simple Machines work and began working with the topic of Electricity. Watched "Tell Me Why" children's DVD regarding "How Things Work" and "Electricity and Electronic Safety." Took quizzes at the end of the DVD.<br />
<br />

Just as with our art and music appreciation, we never used a textbook or curricular approach to this subject. I sought out activities and approached my child with opportunities as they came up to see if he was interested in them.<br />
<br />
Doing things outside the home need not be overly expensive, either. Sometimes other homeschool parents with expertise in something will trade "classes" with you - they will teach your children (and a group of others) in something they are good at and you return the favor. There may be some costs for supplies, or you may help provide supplies, but learning something new need not be expensive.<br />
<br />
Area libraries or recreational centers, YMCA's, local universities, etc. may all provide free or low cost options for learning. So look around, listen, and ask questions! You can also often arrange outside lessons in something for a small group at a low cost during the day when a place might not otherwise be busy - so do approach folks and try to work out deals with them!<br />
<br />
Oh! I'm totally forgetting the President's Physical Fitness program. Don't know what they do now but you used to be able to log in your child's time and they could earn bronze, silver, or gold medal awards for their fitness activities. I think there is more than one of these types of programs available to kids now, so do check that out. My kids always loved getting a prize of some sort from an outside source! (Which reminds me: Pizza Hut used to have a Reading Award - don't know if they do it now. It helped encourage new readers to read more and after that it was just a free pizza every month! Mine loved it!) ASK, and ye shall receive....<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.presidentschallenge.org/challenge/physical/index.shtml">https://www.presidentschallenge.org/challenge/physical/index.shtml</a> (It looks like they are changing, but have at least three levels of programming available now....)<br />
<br />
And they have a page for homeschoolers now: <br />

Again, since I currently have out my fourth grade notebook, I will just pull the things my son did during that school year that I counted as "P.E." These things are just to get you thinking about all the options that are out there for you.<br />
<br />
<strong>Fall:</strong><br />
<br />
Eight weeks of golf lessons with a small group at an area <strong>golf</strong> course. <br />
<br />
This was something I arranged and was a great deal. The man threw out a price during the day when he would normally have had no business on his course (and he was a great teacher, too - you do want to make sure you're not getting a grump - he ran children's camps in the summer all the time). I told him what price I'd like to get it for. He told me how many I'd need to get that price. I advertised and got a group together. We did it. Viola!<br />
<br />
Twice weekly <strong>soccer</strong> practice with a local youth soccer league team @ about 1 1/2 hours each. Games started in September and ran through end of October, generally 1-3 on weekends and about 3-4 on tournament weekends.<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 4 through Christmas:</strong> <strong>swimming</strong> with a local USA swim team - three times per week @ one hour each. <br />
<br />
<strong>October:</strong><br />
<br />
(This was another thing I came up with to get kids together for activities, so I arranged all these with area businesses.)<br />
<br />
"Terrific Tuesdays"<br />
<br />
Week 1 - <strong>bowling</strong>, two hours of play<br />
Week 2 - <strong>gymnastics</strong> - 1 hour lesson plus 1 hour of free play<br />
Week 3 - Kid's Place (a local, indoor maze and tunnel system) - 2 hours of <strong>free play</strong> in tunnels<br />
Week 4 - Chuck-e-Cheese - lunch and<strong> free play</strong><br />
<br />
Nature walk of one mile at Raven Run.<br />
<br />
<strong>Free play</strong> outdoors at Bi-water farm (we almost always visited an area farm during their "fall fest" before Halloween).<br />
<br />
Attendance at weekend long Webelo's Woods with <strong>soccer</strong> and other <strong>free play</strong>; <strong>running</strong> with dogs, etc. <strong>Hike</strong>d about two miles on Saturday, up a ridge and down the other side. Worked on first aid, geology, and various <strong>outdoor skills</strong>.<br />
<br />
<strong>November:</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong><br />
<br />
Three weeks of <strong>swimming</strong> at the YMCA (2 hours each) for homeschoolers - short lessons in safety and water games.<br />
<br />
<strong>December:</strong> <br />
<br />
Three more weeks of <strong>swimming</strong> at the Y.<br />
<br />
<strong>Play</strong> date at Chuck-e-Cheese. (Must have filled in fourth week with something through winter.)<br />
<br />
<strong>January:</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Bowling </strong><br />
<br />
Three <strong>gym and swim</strong> classes at YMCA. One hour of gym class followed by one hour of free swim.<br />
<br />
Continued Dolphin's <strong>swim</strong> through mid-May (wasn't really very happy with it).<br />
<br />
<strong>February/March:</strong><br />
<br />
Completed last three Y<strong> gym and swim</strong> classes.<br />
<br />
<strong>Bowling</strong><br />
<br />
Dolphin's <strong>swimming</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>March:</strong><br />
<br />
"Terrific Tuesdays" made a return!<br />
<br />
First week - <strong>bowling</strong> birthday party<br />
Second week - Chuck-e-Cheese<strong> free play</strong><br />
Third week - Kid's Place (tunnels) <strong>free play</strong><br />
Fourth week - <strong>bowling</strong><br />
<br />
Spring <strong>soccer</strong> season began.<br />
<br />
Swim break for two weeks.<br />
<br />
<strong>April:</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Free play</strong> at park once weekly for two hours. We had various groups that met for YEARS at area parks any time the weather was nice enough!<br />
<br />
<strong>Gymnastics </strong>on cold days (there was one place here that allowed free play during a time when they would have otherwise had no business at a very low cost).<br />
<br />
<strong>Soccer</strong> continued.<br />
<br />
<strong>Swim</strong> resumed.<br />
<br />
<strong>May:</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Soccer</strong> concluded by end of month.<br />
<br />
Winter <strong>swim</strong> concluded by end of month.<br />
<br />
Continued park day <strong>free play</strong> (people met throughout summer if not too hot, too....)<br />
<br />
At the end of May, he participated in two, three day <strong>horseback riding</strong> camps, back to back. Asbury University, near us, has a working horse farm as part of their equine program and has done horseback riding for kids for many, many years.<br />
<br />
Think of places in your area that provide opportunities for play or movement (if you live in a cold area you need some indoor places, too, if possible). <br />
<br />
Find out what hours they are open (or if they would be willing to open during "off" hours if they had some business - they might be there doing paperwork or something, anyway). Try to arrange a "group rate" that is something your group could manage. Talk to people in your homeschool community beforehand to see what, if anything, they can afford. <br />
<br />
If they cannot afford to pay anything, then look only for completely free offerings. Some places might be willing to do a single free "demo class" for a group in order to try to drum up more business - so you might do a round of things like that one time.... <br />
<br />
Again, ask before you try to start scheduling if there are particular days/times that are better for more people, when they would be more likely to participate. Try to make your events at the same day and time each week, if possible, so that people will be less likely to forget about it!<br />
<br />
If you need free activities, check out your local library, recreation center, or parks in your area to see if they will provide either a one-time activity for your group, or perhaps a series of things over the course of a month or so.<br />
<br />
If you live in an area where there is strong scouting and/or 4-H programming, then by all means take advantage of things they offer!<br />

There are so many ways to learn to appreciate art and music that you could literally do different things every single year, I think. <br />
<br />
Our art and music appreciation time over the years seldom involved any sort of formalized study and did look at least somewhat different every year. I thought I'd give you a snapshot of one year, and have just randomly picked third grade, since I have that notebook out right now. <br />
<br />
I happen to live in a somewhat smaller city and we have had a lot of access to theatre here over the years. Many of our theatres offer school day performance rates that are about half the rate for regular theatre goers. They have generally welcomed homeschoolers to join other school groups for these performances, so we have been lucky in that regard.<br />
<br />
Here's what we did, generally by month:<br />
<br />
<strong>August/September:</strong><br />
<br />
My son was into coloring during this particular year. It was one of the only years that he ever wanted to color. He would color the pages that went along with our <em>Story of the World</em> reading while I read to him. I also had some Dover and Bellepheron books and he colored some pictures from those to add to his history notebook, as well. He did this all year.<br />
<br />
We read parts of <em>A History of Britain Through Art, </em>Jillian Powell<em>.</em><br />
<br />
Made large tissue flowers for geography class (studying Mexico, I believe....)<br />
<br />
My son worked on a Kentucky scrapbook through most of the fall semester, for a co-op class that I taught. We also had some field trips to various Kentucky locales to go along with the class.<br />
<br />
He also was in a 4-H Horseless Horse Club for fall and worked on a scrapbook for that.<br />
<br />
We read <em>Echoes of the Elders</em> and enjoyed the beautiful artwork of Chief Lelooska.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71F4R0J0QEL.gif" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 475px; max-width: 359px;" width="151" /><br />
<br />
We attended a production of "Aesop's Fables" at our local children's theatre.<br />
<br />
We also attended a production of "Huck Finn" in the same month.<br />
<br />
We saw a production called "Kentucky Adventure," which was an interactive play at Fort Harrod (part of our Kentucky history class).<br />
<br />
My son took piano and guitar lessons throughout fall. He was preparing for a winter get together and his winter piano recital. Piano was thirty minutes, once weekly. Guitar was 45 minutes, once weekly.<br />
<br />
Began year long theatre class at co-op.<br />
<br />
<strong>October:</strong><br />
<br />
Attended a flower arranging class for Junior Master Gardener's at the arboretum.<br />
<br />
Saw interpreter at Raven Run speaking about early settlers and the role of surveyors (also for KY history class)....<br />
<br />
Made a flower arrangement for our home.<br />
<br />
Looked at beautiful paintings in the book <em>Children of China</em>. (These books generally went along with the history period we were studying at the time....)<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51H97RS71DL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 475px; max-width: 427px;" width="179" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Made a paper butterfly - pattern from the book <em>Made in China</em>.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51EKPA7HH7L.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 475px; max-width: 362px;" width="152" /> (I *think* this was the book....)<br />
<br />
<br />
Saw a musical version of "Paul Revere."<br />
<br />
Made a leaf collection scrapbook at arboretum, then walked the scarecrow trail (local people compete for most interesting scarecrow designs).<br />
<br />
Read about some of the world's great composers of the 1700's (Germany/Austria).<br />
<br />
Focus on Tchiakofsky for piano studio students this fall.<br />
<br />
Symphony demonstration and "petting zoo" during theatre class at co-op one day.<br />
<br />
<strong>November:</strong><br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>April:</strong><br />
<br />
Art class ends.<br />
<br />
Music lessons continue.<br />
<br />
Year-long "theatre class" at co-op finally really kicks into gear and the kids get serious about practicing their parts, etc. as the play date looms.... Play rehearsals intensify and become all-consuming....<br />
<br />
There is a rehearsal dinner prior to the first performance and a cast party after it is all over. It really does take up a LOT of time during this month. Our production was a musical version of "The Secret Garden."<br />
<br />
<strong>May:</strong><br />

While I was considered a *good* writer in school (whatever that means), I've never really thought of myself as a good writing teacher, or coach. My older son always wrote pretty effortlessly and had handwriting so good when he was little (now - not so much, lol!) that no one believed it was his writing. They always accused me of writing things for him, lol - until I showed them MY bad handwriting. His was much better than mine! He used the entire <em>Writing Strands </em>program pretty much on his own and without difficulty.<br />
<br />
My younger son was a whole 'nother animal. He seems to have a "shadow" dysgraphia issue (according to a psychologist we see from time to time) and when he was little, he was definitely NOT ready to write, or writing well (in terms of handwriting or composition), at the same age as his brother. I decided to take things slowly with him and try to allow him to excel at oral work as much as possible but still keep him writing some on worksheets for very short answers, etc.<br />
<br />
So he WAS "writing" down plenty of work during the day. Those hand muscles have to get exercise or it never really gets any easier - but he was not doing anything nearly like I had done the first time around.<br />
<br />
In our homeschool, we always incorporated writing across the curriculum as much as possible, so I did not do a lot of writing just for the sake of writing - my younger son's writing was related to his science work, his geography work, his history or literature work, etc. That said, we did do a little writing to try to give him a framework for expressing himself.<br />
<br />
I thought I'd take a look at what he did during fourth grade, in terms of both handwriting practice and actual composition work.<br />
<br />
In addition to his <em>Getty Dubay</em> workbook, a few grammar exercises and writing of spelling "trouble" words, filling in spelling workbook pages, taking spelling tests, filling in the math workbooks, etc., here are other things he did:<br />
<br />
Throughout the fall, we read through <em>Writer's Express</em> about the process of getting started in writing, pre-writing and drafting, revising and editing.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31IKpU99-6L.jpg" id="igImage" style="max-height: 200px; max-width: 125px;" /><br />
<br />
My son wrote, over the course of several months, four types of paragraphs: descriptive, narrative, persuasive, and expository. <br />
<br />
He also completed most of the exercises from the writing section of <em>Abeka</em> grammar and did a research report set forth in his grammar book. The report was on George Washington Carver.<br />
<br />
In January, he wrote an informational essay from <em>Writing Express</em>.<br />
<br />
We did poetry work throughout the year and he wrote some poetry. He participated in a once weekly, three-part poetry workshop at our local library. At home we worked on Limericks and Haiku, among other forms.<br />
<br />
We finished the year with a little workbook I had used earlier and liked for my older son: <em>Spectrum Writing</em>. I started it at the very end of third grade and my younger son worked the first two units of it then. In looking over the books online now, I see that they have changed them to color illustrations and also seem to have rewritten them. The closest one I see is the grade 4 book, so that must be what we used. The newest edition has been rewritten again, and I'm not sure that I like it as well.... He completed sections 3-5 of a book very like the one shown in fourth grade.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41B5ZqkIODL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 386px;" width="154" /> (This is the one I see that is most like what we used.)<br />
<br />
The sections completed included:<br />
<br />
Writing Comparisons - several lessons that include both short answer, fill in the blank type questions, as well as some longer writing of a few sentences, leading up to writing a paragraph. Each section ends with a lesson on revising, another on proofreading, and a post-test.<br />
<br />
Writing Details - each section is set up similarly. He was already writing longer paragraphs, more of them, and even page long stories by the time he hit this section. Now, the content, the penmanship, and the even the grammar (not to mention the spelling) still needed a LOT of work - but he WAS writing!<br />
<br />
Writing Facts and Opinions - same set up as other sections. (The sections covered in the prior year were: Writing Main Ideas and Writing in Sequence.)<br />
<br />
He also completed some copywork throughout the year. I was able to print out a free copy of "My Lessons and Carols Copybook" (don't see the author's name anywhere on it) and he worked on it to help with his cursive practice during the months of December and January (because we did not work on it during Christmas break from school).<br />
<br />
Oh! I see that it is still available on Lulu.com: <a href="http://www.lulu.com/shop/julie-shields/my-lessons-and-carols-copybook-gdi-cursive-gr-3-7/paperback/product-3928823.html">http://www.lulu.com/shop/julie-shields/my-lessons-and-carols-copybook-gdi-cursive-gr-3-7/paperback/product-3928823.html</a><br />
<br />
Julie Shields is the author. She also has copybooks that go along with <em>The Story of the World</em> series, among other things. She does these not just in Getty Dubay italic, but also in other scripts.<br />
<br />
Also, I picked up some of the <em>Draw Write Now </em>books used from another homeschooler and he created his own little book (using those pages that have the space at the top for a picture and large lines at the bottom for children's writing, which I bound together in construction paper end plates).<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" height="200" id="igImage" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61019upBWhL.jpg" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 385px;" width="154" /><br />
<br />
So even though you don't see writing mentioned too much in my posts, it DID get done! <br />
<br />

Attempting an elementary version for the first time with my second son, I didn't entirely stick with it for the year (did much, much better when he was in middle school, the second time around). This is just to show you that if you feel you need to change course during the year (for whatever reason), you can STILL manage to get in a good bit of science for an elementary child and make it worthwhile.<br />
<br />
I always kept notebooks of sample work and weekly notes of what we did for each class. I started this because I was always afraid I would have a compliance officer standing on my doorstep some morning when I was least prepared for them, but the notebooks have proved a wealth of information to me on numerous topics over the years, so I am very glad I kept them!<br />
<br />
Our third grade science year:<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 1</strong> (as you will see from my curriculum post for this grade, we were supposed to be doing science daily):<br />
<br />
<strong>What is Matter - States of Matter: Solids, Liquids, Gases - What is Matter Made Of - Atoms and their Parts</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Began intro to chemistry with <em>How Science Works</em> and <em>Visual Factfinder: Science and Technology</em> (see my reading list on chemistry for details).<br />
<br />
Began talking about elements, the periodic table and properties of elements. <br />
<br />
Did experiments re: brittleness and hardness.<br />
<br />
Did experiment re: space taken up by solid vs. liquid form of same substance, using oil/butter/margarine, whipped butter and water (margarine good for demonstrating mixtures).<br />
<br />
Read from <em>How Science Works</em> re: insides of atoms, elements, and compounds.<br />
<br />
Did experiments on liquids re: viscosity and boiling point. (All these first experiments are to be found in the <em>How Science Works</em> book, by the way.)<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 2:</strong><br />
<br />
Continued reading from <em>How Science Works</em> re: inside an atom, elements and compounds.... (See how I'm already falling off? I had a ninth grader still at home and was attending to his needs/classes/ extra-curriculars, too....)<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 3:</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Chemical Reactions</strong><br />
<br />
Read from <em>How Science Works</em> about chemical reactions. <br />
<br />
Remember! Most schools don't really do science (or not to any depth) with children this young. ANY science, especially with some discussion and experimentation, is a lot more than they will get at this age in most schools! (Making excuses....)<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 4:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Acids and Bases / Salts and Soaps</strong><br />
<br />
Read from <em>How Science Works</em> re: acids and bases, salts and soaps.<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 5:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Organic Chemistry</strong><br />
<br />
Read from <em>How Science Works</em> re: organic chemistry.<br />
<br />
Began "Mad Scientist Club" (thought this would be an "out" for me, lol - teacher taught one class, on chemical reactions (acids and bases), then had a sick parent and went away for the rest of the semester....)<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 6:</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Atoms and Molecules</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Read <em>The Story of Oxygen</em>, Karen Fitzgerald.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51D3S2ZCDAL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 475px; max-width: 400px;" width="168" /><br />
<br />
Oh! We had one more "Mad Scientist" I forgot about - talked about properties of liquids (density) and made a "lava" lamp (different liquids of different densities in a column....)<br />
<br />
Club did also provide us with info on Paracelsus (alchemist) and experiments with filling a balloon using a baking soda/vinegar reaction and talk of exothermic vs. endothermic reactions. Had an observation/conclusion sheet to fill out. Also, steps of the scientific method info sheet; "The Matter Rap;" and a similar observation/conclusion sheet for the oil and water molecule mixing on the second meeting date.... So that was something....<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Did experiment to see if there's space between sugar molecules.<br />
<br />
My son was active in a 4-H Horse Club this year (for kids interested in horses who did not own horses) and related to our horse science studies he also watched a couple of videos this week: "Justin Morgan Had a Horse" and "Eyewitness Horse." He completed a worksheet regarding Justin Morgan and the Morgan Horse.<br />
<br />
(See how I'm starting to get the idea that I can still do other science besides just chemistry?)<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 11:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Acidity All Around Us: Ozone; Other Acids in Nature and the Atmosphere (Acidic Gases)</strong><br />
<br />
Re: acids and bases, read selections from the book <em>Ozone</em>, Kathlyn Gay (You don't have to read ALL of every book - especially with smaller children! Just read applicable parts; read captions or tables, etc. to draw them in and give them a taste without killing them - or yourself....)<br />
<br />
Also read:<br />
<br />
<em>The Air We Breathe!</em> Enid Bloome<br />
<em>What Makes a Lemon Sour?</em> Gail Haines<br />
<br />
Did experiment to see if gas molecules are further apart than liquid molecules. <br />
<br />
Did experiment mixing a base with various acids to make gases.<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 12:</strong><br />
<br />
Did the following experiments:<br />
<br />
1) To see if molecules are attracted to a charge;<br />
2) To see if similar molecules attract each other.<br />
3) To show that work creates heat in molecules.<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 13:</strong><br />
<br />
Reading about the scientific revolution in history this week: Galileo and Newton. Read several books regarding scientific theory, etc. (Hehehe, make one class count for two....)<br />
<br />
Watched "Magic School Bus Plays Ball," re: Newtonian Theory of Gravity, Friction, etc. (Yes, really more physics related, but STILL science!)<br />
<br />
<strong>Chemistry of Cooking (was *supposed* to start kitchen chemistry experiments here but it took a while....) - Yeasts</strong><br />
<br />
Read <em>From Grain to Bread</em>, Ali Mitgutsch.<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 14:</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Chemistry of Color</strong><br />
<br />
Read from: <em>What do You see and how do You see It? Exploring Light, Color, and Vision</em>, Patricia Lauber.<br />
<br />
Also read <em>My Science Book of Light</em>, Neil Ardley and <em>The Science Book of Color</em>, Neil Ardley. <br />
<br />

<br />
(Also more physics than chemistry....)<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 15 and 16</strong> - I got nothin'....<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 17:</strong><br />
<br />
Began "Tree of Life" biology class (YES, I said BIOLOGY - I was teaching it at co-op, which is probably why I didn't get to science at home the two prior weeks....)<br />
<br />
Started class with Bacteria and Protists, Classification, etc. A professor from Transylvania University here in town brought good microscopes so we could look at stuff up close. The kids drew and labeled basic parts of bacteria. They also sketched what they saw on the slides they looked at and we discussed.<br />
<br />
We then moved on, over the next several weeks, to "bugs," amphibians, fish, reptiles (and a 4-H guy brought live samples to look at), then birds (we raised baby chickens using a 4-H loaned incubator), and finally finished up looking at some fungi.<br />
<br />
I used a variety of worksheets related to the reptiles and amphibians and when the 4-H person brought some to class, they also sketched their favorites. They completed a critical thinking worksheet categorizing cold-blooded vertebrates (amphibians, fish, reptiles).<br />
<br />
I provided them with lots of worksheets related to birds as we incubated our chicks. And, at the end of class, they sketched some of the fungi we studied....<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 18:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Energy: Electricity and Sunlight</strong><br />
<br />
Read <em>Energy Makes Things Happen</em>, Kimberly Bradley - talked about examples given at end of book: toy cars striking in a row; tracing energy back to the sun, etc. (AGAIN, more physics related, but batteries that fuel a lot of the electrical connections we're talking about do so through a chemical reaction, so I've always done energy as part of chemistry and physics, combined....)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Read <em>Science Experiments: Energy</em>, John Farndon. Talked about the simple examples given as experiments, most of which we've often done, such as swinging, archery, jumping on a trampoline, etc.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21VZQAErSTL.jpg" id="igImage" style="max-height: 200px; max-width: 125px;" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 19:</strong><br />

<strong>More Acidity in Nature: Acidic Liquids: Acid Rain</strong><br />
<br />
Read and discussed <em>Acid Rain</em>, Mary Turck.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41d97%2Blq00L.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 351px;" width="140" /><br />

<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61qzpPyeLPL.jpg" height="163" id="igImage" style="max-height: 408px; max-width: 500px;" width="200" /><br />
<br />
Watched "The Magic School Bus: Getting Energized" - use of new energy sources.<br />
<br />
(Tree of Life Class: Arthopods - I kept a separate notebook for this class so didn't list everything about it here....)<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 20:</strong> <br />
<br />
4-H visited Tree of Life Class with live arthropods and mounted insects. Brought scorpions, spiders, millipedes, hissing cockroaches, stick insects, etc.<br />
<br />
I provided lots of insect/arthropod related worksheets for this portion of the class and the kids also sketched some of their favorites. I also had puzzles, stamping kits to create your own insect; insect glasses or monoculars for them to experiment with how insects see, etc., etc.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Week 30:</strong><br />
<br />
Did experiments from the book <em>Chemistry and</em> <em>Cooking, </em>Philip Carona<em>. </em>(FINALLY. I had only kept it overdue from the library for long enough to buy the poor little water-logged thing from the 1970's a hundred times over....) I LOVE this book!<br />
<br />
Read <em>From Egg to Chicken</em>, Robin Nelson.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/516HzWnnmjL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 483px;" width="193" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Week 31:</strong> <br />
<br />
Attended Cincinnati Museum Center homeschool day regarding <strong>insects</strong>. Saw Goliath, Bird-eating Spider.<br />
<br />
I don't have notes for the last five weeks. So I either fizzled completely or didn't manage to get them in the book, lol.... In looking back, however, he did do about 36 experiments - so that averages to one per week....<br />
<br />
<strong>Other outside activities he did during the year:</strong><br />
<br />
In September, we visited an Apple Farm and toured the cider press, etc. Owner explained raising of apples and making of cider, vinegar, etc. <br />
<br />
At the end of September our Arboretum at UK held a fall leaf collection workshop.<br />
<br />
In the fall, I led a 4-H Horse Club (stopped finally due to poor attendance) to several field trips at area farms, etc. We visited Ramsey Farm first and learned all about how a horse farm operates. We also visited Claiborne Farms Stallions.<br />
<br />
We saw the IMAX film "Hurricane on the Bayou" all about Hurricane Katrina.<br />
<br />
He attended Harry Potter Camp at the Cincy Zoo, where they always do a little chemistry magic....<br />
<br />
He attended the USAF Museum homeschool day, where they always have physics classes. He did "Fun with Flight" and "Space Colony." He sketched loads of planes in the wake of our visit.<br />
<br />
<br />
All in all, it's a LOT more than you think when you look back. Even if you don't stay organized or on track or on schedule, or whatever - just keep seeking those science opportunities and science WILL BE LEARNED! This kid is now a math and science kid who wants to be a vet (I know, I know, the outlook is horrible....) <br />
<br />
He just got in to our Governor's Scholar summer program here (don't know if all states have something like this but it insures free or greatly reduced in-state tuition and can even help with scholarships to out of state schools).... He has taken Honors Biology, Honors Anatomy, Honors Geophysical Science, Honors Chemistry, AP Physics 1 and is on track to take AP Biology and AP Physics 2 next year. I am a totally non-physical science kinda person (save for geology). You CAN cover subjects with your child, when young, and instill a love of learning in them for that subject that will stand them in good stead when they are older.<br />

Now remember, this is just a guideline to help keep you on track. Classes may be completed sooner than this (more time for reading later!) or may take a little longer (but may need to be put on hold until the next day if they are taking too long....) Classes that regularly take a lot longer than you planned may require some restructuring of the plan, or other rethinking....<br />

In checking my site without being signed in, I found that I could not pull up these posts, even though they are still buried in my list of published posts when I am signed on.... After trying to access them in numerous ways, I decided it was just best to repost them for access....</span><br />

<br />
Here are the readings we did for history during second grade, using <strong>Story of the World II</strong> as our spine. There are also three other books that I mention often that include two-page spreads we used a lot at this age. These are Dorling Kindersley's Picturepedia: <strong><em>People in the Past</em></strong>; DK's <strong><em>How Children Lived</em></strong>, Chris Rice; and <strong><em>A Child's Eye View of History</em></strong>, Fiona Macdonald. My original computer documents were lost long ago during a crash, and I am reconstructing these lists from my notes for the year. I will try to add in my son's reading and our literature selections for the year at a later time.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This was based around the SOTW IV spreads. If you need more details on the history books I used as spines, I can provide authors, etc. for those. With this time period, a lot of our reading didn’t really mirror the history subject under study (as it did with earlier time periods). Instead, we read from authors whose writings were basically contemporaneous with the time period we were studying in history.</span><br />

He was also ready to begin doing more work on his own, so I slowly began leaving him more to himself for certain work.<br />
<br />
<strong>Bible</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
We began the morning with Bible work, as usual. I was ready to get back into a more formal program, and chose Memoria Press <em>Christian Studies III</em>, which covers the last third or so of the <em>Bible</em>, a portion we had not yet really fully covered. This text uses the <em>Golden Children's Bible</em>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>Language Arts:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Literature</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Our read-aloud time consisted, as always, of mostly books that went along with our history studies. We began our Modern Era history studies at the time of the Civil War in America, so mid-1800's.<br />
<br />
A sampling of books I was reading from the first week:<br />
<br />
<br />
At Her Majesty's Request<br />
Wolves of Willoughby Chase<br />
Shipwrecked!<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61K7P7XNJGL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 397px;" width="158" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Spelling and Word Study</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Finishing up <em>Spelling Workout E </em>and then following up with <em>Spelling Workout F </em>beginning in week 8<em>.</em> At this level, the words begin to become a word study. Also, we stayed on a 3 day schedule and finished in week 29. The next week we started <em>Wordly Wise 3000</em> for the remainder of the year.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71NxsrOqgvL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 1001px; max-width: 753px;" width="150" /> <img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/81hUCX3Q44L.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 2560px; max-width: 1919px;" width="149" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Grammar and Writing</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
He began Abeka, <em>God's Gift of Language</em>, level A. My older son used this series with great success. It would take me a few years to realize that this series just did not work well for this son. It certainly has plenty of work! I also supplemented oral lessons with <em>Oral Language Lessons</em>, part of this same learning series.<br />
<br />

<strong>Handwriting</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<em>Getty Dubay</em>, level E.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Reading</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
His reading, like our literature, was tied mostly to the history time period we were studying for the year. A sampling of books he read for week one:<br />
<br />
Florence Nightingale<br />
A Little Princess<br />
The Drummer Boy's Battle<br />
<br />
<img class="fullScreen" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91CRz-yDNGL._SL1500_.jpg" height="200" style="margin-left: 231px; margin-top: 10px;" width="131" /> (Charge of the Light Brigade)<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Math</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<em>Singapore 4</em><br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51r%2BSWn-Z6L.jpg" height="201" id="igImage" style="max-height: 274px; max-width: 434px;" width="320" /><br />
<br />
<br />
In my unceasing quest to find the perfect math combination, I also added in <em>Math-U-See 1</em> at this time for drillwork and review. We began doing math 5 days a week. I wanted him to get faster at multiplication. I think it is the Delta level that covers multiplication. My son didn't ever even really use the manipulatives, so it was really a waste of my time, sigh....<br />
<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91TvKMk8iSL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 2560px; max-width: 1920px;" width="150" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Geography </strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
My mother gifted my son the <em>Which Way, USA?</em> books and so I used them all year with him this year. It gave him both some geography practice as well as some logic work.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/A1jOamrrcJL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 2560px; max-width: 1982px;" width="154" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Spanish</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
We started out the year reviewing McGraw Hill's <em>Complete Book of Spanish</em>, adding in review of vocab cards and worksheets from outside Spanish classes, then he played some with a computer CD I had that contained lots of Spanish games (sorry, don't recall what it was).... Then we moved into a review of the <em>Powerglide</em> program as well as <em>Spanish in the Kitchen, </em>both of which we used last year.<br />
<br />
Nothing really new here. Young children are really just developing their vocabulary in a different language. I didn't work on much in the way of grammar until he was in the logic stage (grades 5-8).<br />
<br />
<strong>Latin</strong><br />
<br />
During this year I alternated Latin and Spanish study. So one week he did three Latin (M,W,F) and two Spanish (T,R) and the next that was reversed. In this way he got the same number of hours of work in each language by the end of the year.<br />
<br />
Again, as with Spanish, nothing really new here. We reviewed our <em>Minimus</em> and <em>Minimus Secundus</em> books for the year, continuing to work on developing a decent vocab in Latin.<br />
<br />
<strong>History</strong><br />
<br />
We continued our history studies with <em>Story of the World IV</em> and activity guide, plus loads of living books. For fourth grade, we covered history Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 1:30 - 3. Please see my history reading list for more info:<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>Science</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
We studied physics topics for science during fourth grade. We did this on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30 - 3. We used <em>How Science Works</em> for our intro to the subject, covering the "Force and Motion" section. We also used various other books to cover background info on the topics that we were experimenting in. For instance, for our first topic, we read from <em>Experiment with Movement</em> (Force and Motion), then started working through the Delta Education <em>Science in a Nutshell</em> kit on "Force and Motion." Next, we read the section on gears from <em>Experiment with Movement</em> and <em>How Science Works</em>, then started a <em>Nutshell</em> on "Gears." <br />
<br />

<br />
Our third topic was "Simple Machines." Again, we read from various books at home and checked out library books on the topic, then used the section from <em>The Complete Book of Science 3/4</em> that covered simple machines to experiment with them and do other activities. I also had a computer CD on <em>The Way Things Work</em> and another called <em>Pinball Science</em> that he was able to play with.<br />
<br />
(I see that Delta now carries several kits on simple machines....)<br />

<br />
Other topics covered that year (again, using library books, Complete Book of Science pages and kits):<br />
<br />
Electricity and Magnetism<br />
Review of Force<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>Bible:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<em>The Great Bible Adventure</em><br />
<br />
<img alt="The Great Bible Adventure: Stories of Well-Known Bible People and Events" class="product-image image img book" data-expand-image="1" src="http://img2.imagesbn.com/p/9780825472183_p0_v1_s260x420.jpg" height="200" id="rnd-1650168586" itemprop="image" width="160" /> I decided to use this because the BJU curriculum we tried to use the year before was so heavy and involved. I wanted something lighter and more fun. It worked out fine for us.<br />
<br />
<strong>Math:</strong><br />
<br />
<em>Singapore 3</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em></em><br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51eyuWJ8DiL.jpg" height="206" id="igImage" style="max-height: 322px; max-width: 500px;" width="320" /><br />
<br />
For second grade, I ended up just doing <em>Saxon Math 3</em> because there was so much written work to go along with it. I wanted to give it a chance, wanted to like it, but just didn't. So I saved the<em> Singapore 3</em> for this year and didn't get off track. We have been doing math 4 days per week, rather than 5, so the amount of work present in text and workbooks has been plenty for the year.<br />
<br />
During our second math period of the day, we did math drill work and/or used <em>Singapore</em> extra practice workbooks.<br />
<br />
<strong>Language Arts:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Handwriting</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<em>Getty Dubay, book D</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61Uz9aKY%2BvL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 500px; max-width: 386px;" width="154" /> I like these books. As you get into them, each one contains informative tidbits about one particular topic. This one talks about the history of the letters we use.<br />
<br />
<strong>Grammar</strong><br />
<br />
<em>Rod and Staff 3</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71PRKGmUkCL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 1190px; max-width: 811px;" width="136" /> This level offers a booklet of worksheets, as well as a test booklet, which will help expedite written work.<br />
<br />
We also continued extra oral lessons with <em>Primary Language Lessons</em>, from last year.<br />
<br />
<strong>Spelling</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<em>Spelling Workout, book D </em>and half of <em>E</em><br />
We did two workbook pages per day and tested on day three so that we finished book D by week 22 of school and started book E. This gave us 15 weeks of work in that level prior to the end of the school year.<br />
<br />
<img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/614iKNUMbbL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 1001px; max-width: 743px;" width="148" /> <img class="image-stretch-vertical" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/611s9GGZhPL.jpg" height="200" id="igImage" style="max-height: 1001px; max-width: 743px;" width="148" /><br />
<br />
I have no idea why these pics are all so blurred, and as I mentioned before, there are at least two different covers on these books, but the inside is the same....<br />
<br />
<strong>Reading and Literature</strong><br />
<br />
We continued making most of our literature follow our history studies (<em>Story of the World</em>, Early Modern). Simpler books that were the right reading level for him, he read. Longer books that were more suited to being read-alouds, I read to him. I continued having him practice reading aloud as well as alone. <br />
<br />
An example of his week one reading and our literature for that same time period: <br />
<br />
Anno's Spain<br />
Christmas in Spain<br />
The Legend of El Dorado, Vidal and Laan<br />
The Lost Treasure of the Inca<br />

<strong>Languages:</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Spanish</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Reviewed flashcards and <em>Spanish with Children; </em>got into <em>Powerglide</em> in earnest for most of the year. Last five weeks of school played around with a program called <em>Spanish in the Kitchen</em>.<br />

<br />
<strong>Latin</strong><br />
<br />
Reviewed <em>Minimus </em>work covered last year and took up where we left off. Began work with <em>Minimus Secundus </em>around week 16.<br />
<br />

<br />
That last is an audio CD....<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Geography</strong><br />
<br />
We used <em>A Trip Around the World</em> workbook (and the library books they recommended) to study various countries this year. I don't think it was all that successful as I often didn't have the things necessary to make projects or the time to cook various foods. From about week 25 onward, he practiced with learning all his states and capitals. We had some blank maps for practice, write on/wipe off booklets, etc. that we used for this. I don't see anything exactly like them online now. You could use many things for this. He also did about two pages daily in <em>The Complete Book of Maps and Geography.</em><br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>History</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Continued with <em>The Story of the World III</em>, utilizing their activity guide to help flesh out book lists for both history and literature, to review the chapters, to do a little map work and a few other activities, etc. We also always used either Usborne and/or Kingfisher history encyclopedias, too....<br />

<br />
<br />
Here's the list I prepared for history, reading and literature. Remember with these lists, they look long, but sometimes you can't get the books you want from the library, or you get them and you don't like them at all - you need extra to allow for attrition and culling! You want to be able to present *something* when it's time to sit down and do your class....<br />

<strong>Science</strong><br />
<br />
Studied <strong>Chemistry</strong> topics this year. I initially used the <em>Visual Factfinder: Science and Technology</em> and <em>Reader's Digest How Science Works</em> as my "spines" to introduce various chemistry topics and some experiments or explorations. As we went along, I also used the game <em>Elemento</em> to help learn the elements. About week 6 I introduced <em>Adventures With Atoms and Molecules</em>, Mebane and Rybolt, <em> </em>and we began doing experiments from that, as well as reading various library books on topic. Around week 12, I added in <em>The Elements: Ingredients of the Universe</em> and we began working a little from it, as well. We also continued reading library books on various chemistry topics all year and discussing those.<br />

<br />
<em>The Elements</em>, by Ellen McHenry, is fabulous and you could really just use it alone all year. She has loads of extra games and info online at her website, too, to help you out! She also has a carbon chemistry for older children if you like this.<br />
<br />
If you like the experiments in <em>Adventures with Atoms and Molecules</em>, there are numerous other books by the same authors that include different experiments (I think at least four others). You do have to make a list of the supplies you need and obtain those before you start your school year (if you don't want to run around like crazy on the day of the experiment or have disappointed kids), but if you do this ahead of time and just put everything in a box or hamper until you need it, you will be set.<br />
<br />
Here's the plan I drew up for third grade chemistry, although I did not end up doing as many experiments:<br />

<br />
Again, this of course got disrupted. We didn't always do a full hour of both science and history every afternoon. We had a lot of outside things going on. But this was our "framework" to help us stay on course. <br />
<br />
We continued to do lots of outside field trips, as well as outside classes, co-ops, sports, etc. In the first couple of months of this school year, we attended a class pertaining to the seasons at a local park (studying earth science); joined a Roots and Shoots group; visited Red River Gorge for a ranger led hike; visited the Falls of the Ohio for a ranger led hike (among other things); visited a local orchard for info on growing and harvesting of apples, bees and honey, etc.; visited Keeneland's yearling sale; and attended a naturalist program on the Kentucky River, near Shaker Village in addition to many other outside activities. It CAN be done! It may be messy and take a lot of work, but it can be done....<br />
