From Tiny to Teen

Thinking Outside The Box

Our Workbox load has decreased lately.  With summer months fast approaching it's been tough to start something new.

After lots of prayer and consideration we've decided to school year round.  Through the summer months I will have three standard "assignments" and each child will keep a summer reading log. 

My three summer learning goals:

1. Reading- We are currently reading Mr. Popper's Penguins .  I found a great website here that I plan to incorporate into this reading.  We will also be reading several other books recommended in Ambelside Online's Year Two literature list.  Chloe will be expected to read out loud for 15 minutes each day and Caibry will be required to dictate the reading back to me.  Caibry needs a lot of work on listening.

2. Writing- I am encouraging copywork through the summer.  Chloe has already begun copying scriptures from Psalms.  They are copying from my Promise Bible.  On a side note, if you are looking for a good Promise Bible I recommend The Complete Personalized Promise Bible by James Riddle.  I love that it covers all of scripture and not just the promises in Psalms and Proverbs.

3. Math- Chloe is still working through Math Mammoth Grade 2A.  Caibry is working on Usborne's Big Book of Sticker Math.

Extras :Learning From Dad  character curriculum, Science (Fridays only), Blogging, Poetry, Art and History (occasionally through the summer).

That's my summer workbox plan. 

Happy Learning!

About Me

If you can name all of the characters on Sesame Street, name all of the Jonas Brothers, and can read text faster than most teenagers we have something in common. If you teach a child with speech problems, Sensory Processing Disorder, or a teenager who needs a little extra tlc then you are not alone. I'm wadeing through the new and sometimes wild waters of homeschooling. I'll be honest, sometimes I feel like I'm just treading water. It's gonna be worth it though. I'll be a happy and willing tool in their learning and the world will be blessed by what they become. Welcome to my journal. These are just the ideas, thoughts and feelings of a very tired homeschooler.
