We have been very busy these last few months. I found a wonderful hs website 'An Old Fashioin Education' which offers a free curriuclum! She shares what she has found on the internet and has set up a curr for each grade level. I have tweeked it a bit but basically this is what we are/will be doing for our hs curr:
- Bible~ read 5 chapters of the bible. We alternate reading one book from the OT and then one from the NT.
- Devotion~ right now we are using Keys 4 Kids but when our finances allow we will be purchancing Pearable Character Building.
- Math~ right now we are finishing up our current math curr. Next year we will be using Math on the Level
- Literature~ we are reading most of our ROL (read out louds) from the internet.
- Hebrew~ we still are working with our Hebrew Made Easy
- Copy Work~ right now they are copying 'Goops', however when our McGuffey Readers come in they will be using them.
- Pennmanship~ we already had a handwriting workbook for this so we will just continue with this. When completed they will no long have a pennmanship lesson.
- Spelling~ again right now we are using what we have, however, next year we will be investing in All About Spelling.
- Reading/L.A.~ this is quiet reading time with library books. L.A. will be with our McGuffey Readers.
- The next list of lessons are once a week ROL with lapbooks to accompany them.
- Geography~ ROL Home Geography for Primary Grades
- History~ First steps in First Steps in the History of Our Country
- Biography~ ROL The Narrative of Sojourner Truth
- Science~ ROL The Story Book of Science
- Character Building~ Proverbs 31 A Virtuous Woman
- Life Skills~ ROL The Care of Keeping You when we finish this we will be starting a cooking lapbook.
- Special interest~ this is open for the girls to pick out a topic of interst. My oldest dd is reading Mrs. Mack and doing a lapbook on it and my younger dd is reading Peter Cotton Tail also with a lapbook
I know this seems like alot but most of the lessons last about 15-30 minutes each. The day goes pretty fast, and we play games with several subjects for review. I've also ordered a couple of Ruth Beechick books to help me with this more relaxed learning style. I'll right more about it when I recieve the books. I've joined a couple of yahoo groups:
- 3RHomeschooling (this group is part of 'The Old Fashion Education' webpage.
- Basic Beechick
- Simply Beechick
