Day 15 • History . . For History this year am is doing a light US Survey using #mfwadventures amd im@so glad I decided to have her do it this year instead of just having her do #storyoftheworldbook1 ancients. She loves learning about each state so much. . . E is doing #SOTW Ancient History and M joins in quite often. They’ll both be in #storyoftheworldbook2 next year Medievel Times. I’m currently debating between adding in #konos or #buildyourlibrary Yr 2 to accompany it 🤔. There are some great things about both. . . I love story of the World because although it’s in depth info it’s very interesting + organic in the form of a story. Ive never really enjoyed history but am really enjoying it now right along with them. . . As of late I’m also really liking lining up science areas with the part of history we’re learning about 🌻. It makes it not only easy to put the subject in historical context, but easy to remember the motivations behind the science. . . . . #hereisourhomeschool

Day 14 • Our Language Arts this Year. Slide >> to see E’s stack. . . ➕Spelling: #soaringwithspelling Level 1. We’re trying this curriculum for the first time after doing Horizons. I love that it’s a similar format but has less words per week (16 vs 5/6). It also includes the definitions of the words which is helpful because: homophones (!) . ➕Reading: #allaboutreading Level 1 + 2, and #LogicofEnglish (has some single sentence writing and short spelling practice in there too related to the phonogram we’re on), Levels 2 + 3. We’ve done other reading programs to teach basics but are enjoying the natural progression of readers using all of the phonogram sounds (I think these are great to do after a basic program). These programs are great for #rightbrainlearning , #dyslexia , #capd or #Apd #creativekids , or #reluctantreaders #reluctantwriters #wigglers. . . ➕ Grammar: We’re doing #firstlanguagelessons levels 2 + 3. My daughter is also finishing the grammar book for #mfwadventures #firstlanguagelessonsfortoday . . ➕Writing: #drawwritenow for M along with the writing exercises in MFW Adventures. #evanmoor ‘s #drawandwrite with How to Write a Paragraph for E. They also do #dictation style writing in science 🔬. . . ➕Vocabulary: Evan Moore’s #wordaday . We do about 4 words a day. . . ➕Public Speaking: this happens usually in the form of #narration throughout the day in most of the things we’re studying for this age, and memorizing/reciting a poem out loud. . ➕Literature: M is reading through some chapter books as part of MFW Adventures - Farmer Boy, Mountain Born, Sarah Witcher’s Story, On the Banks of Plum Creek and a few others. E is reading the book selections from #llatl ‘s orange book. So far his favorite has been #theboxcarchildren - and he can’t wait to get to #thesignofthebeaver . We only use the book for the questions and activities related to the books. . . . . #homeschoollanguagearts #hereisourhomeschool
