Because Inquiring Minds Want To Know!

Monday is Artist Study. we read about the artist and view his art online.

Tuesday is Composer. We read about our composer and listen to his music.

Wednesday is 'Sing for America'. We learn the origination of the song and sing.

Thursday is 'Sing for Praise'. Same as above.

Friday we draw. 'Draw 50 People.'

Bible is daily. We read one chapter. We are finishing Proverbs. They can illustrate or write a verse. 

    Copywork is daily. They can pick any passage to copy from their   copywork books. Quality not quantity.

  A few lines of cursive.

  Math is daily. Math copywork, math workbook, math to read and math war. (I think I covered every base!)

  Spelling is daily. I pick six words from 'Spelling Wisdom'. They copy them each day for a week and Friday I test them.

  Poetry is daily. They read their weekly poem to me. On Friday they recite it from memory.

  We read a story from here. Daily.

  History is daily. A different history book  is read everyday.  

Baldwin's Fifty Famous people is read online. Our notebook is divided in five sections with each book title labled on the dividers. The kids illustrate on a page and write a few sentences and/or narrate.

We use our globe and often use the internet and other shorter books related to our readings.

  Spanish is three days a week. We were using Visual spanish online.

I like it, but we are switching to this. I'm getting it from the library. I'll let you know more about it.

  We do this twice a week. I read the word and meaning. They write on their index cards.

  We do grammar daily. One page.

  Science is done daily. Our notebook is labeled by each book we do that week.  They illustrate and/or write what they like from the reading.'Great Inventors and Inventions' is read online (almost done with that), as well as 'Storybook of Science.' We use maps with Holling C. Hollings books.    

We do short 'lessons'. 

After lunch we are done...
