Panda Academy: Where Teacher is Spelled M-O-M-M-Y

• Mar. 23, 2008 - The new curriculum pics are finally downloaded!

Finally, dh dowloaded the pics off the cellphone and then got them off the site and into our computer. And finally, I had time to actually edit them and put them into my blog! How others manage a weekly, let alone daily, blog astounds me! In alphabetical order we have: Anatomy posters that I picked up at the teacher supply store for only 99 cents each. Whoohooo! Don't care if K. doesn't need them yet, they were cheap! Art - new books for 5th grade include Evan-Moor's Art for All Seasons and Seasonal Activities. Lives of the Artists...and What the Neighbor's Thought, Linnea in Monet's Garden, and a cool book on Renoir. We'll be getting Evan-Moor's Folk Art Projects - Around the World soon. Mind you, I have a whole shelf full of art and art history books but in our house, you can't have enough books. LOL! Classic Literature/Poetry/Science Fiction - this is just the first load and doesn't include what's already on our shelves. From Top Left to Bottom Right we have: Lives of the Writers, a collection of poets, poems by Robert Frost, Evan-Moor's Read & Understand Poetry, Explorers (an '80's sci-fi movie I thought K. would enjoy,) The Rolling Stones and Farmer in the Sky  (I think) by Heinlien, and Asimov's Foundation. Foreign Language - just a few of the many choices K. will get get so he can dabble in foreign languages as he pleases. We were doing Minimus Latin only but he got bored with it. Since he's always had a fascination for all things Chinese and Japanese, I've thrown those in along with some French materials we picked up in 1rst grade during his "I want to learn French" stage. Mind you, he can't speak more than a handful of words in any language but English but the materials are available should he get the itch to learn more. Fun- every year both the teacher and student get something fun. K got two Franny K. Stein activity books while I was finally allowed to buy The Official Companion, vol. 1 book to the best sci-fi show ever made - Firefly. Okay, actually there were two best sci-fi shows ever made. Farscape is the other one. I'll stop this entry for now and move onto the subjects that start with "g" in the next. ~Heidi
