This is another curriculum I use with both kids
This curriculum has
A seasonal song that we don’t do- the kids just weren’t feeling it
An emotional intelligence section that I really like. You never think about needing to teach kids to identify their feelings and the feelings of others.
Weekly inquiry – this is a short section on something in nature that they say you can feel free to explore further at the library. I try and find a few simple picture books each week on this at the library that we can read through
Literature, Literacy & Poetry- there is a weekly book to read with a question or two to ask in response to the book, an excerpt out of a seasonal poetry book ( i did the poetry at first but the kids weren’t into it so I stopped) and a letter to study from a book called doodling dragons but we already have a pre-reading curriculum we use so I didn’t get that book.
Art- some of the projects from the art book are really cool but they are a little advanced for my kids. I have the art book but don’t really use it. I do like a lot of the projects though so I think in a year or two we will start working our way through it as an extra fun thing to add into our weeks.
There is a math curriculum they suggest but we use a different one I’ll tell you about in another post
Science – they use the ‘look I’m a scientist’ and ‘look I’m a ln engineer’ books which I have but I only sort of like them. Some of the experiments are a bit older for my kids and some just seem like a waste of time.
Connections project – each week there is a little something to do to connect to the week’s theme and reading.
They also suggest some videos you might like and some supplemental reading on the main subject
