Our homeschool curriculum – The Fitnessista

Share more about the home school curriculum in P and how we organize our days. For more information about the reason we decided to home, check this post.

Hello friends! How are you? I hope you will spend a wonderful morning. I have two customer calls today, fun at home, and we will take a afternoon picnic. what are you up to?

In today’s post, I wanted to chat more on how to activate our days now in the third week of home education. It should be noted here that every day is different and these are just boxes that we verify every day. The beauty of the school is that it is flexible. It takes much less time than the traditional school, and you have freedom to stop, change things, or move things, depending on what is going on.

It should also be noted here that I am not an expert and have little experience in this field. I am a beginner from beginners and I discover this seriously as we go. I am so grateful that there are experts at home school and friends who have offered help and advice; I will take all the tips I can get!

I am also very grateful to Betani from a healthy segment of life jumped, jumped on the phone with me when I sent her a long, super sound message, and talked to me about the edge, and helped me discover Gameplan. Check its blog for information about home school, recipes, travel, and lifestyle – it’s amazing.

Although I still discover this, I wanted to share this post for my friends who are thinking at home, but they are very delicate, just as I was. I thought I should be a teacher * to be good in this. You do not need an educational background. You just need to find the appropriate methodological curricula (and you know that you can change at any time), express a little patience and flexibility, and continue to show love and patience for your child. <3

Our home approach and how to organize our days

For the largest part, here is how it goes today:

We wake up and take Lev to school. We went back to the house, P eating breakfast, giving her a little cold time as she can play games and puzzles and build things, etc. (this is where I will catch some emails or take out work fires) and start * school * in the ninth.

Almost all the curricula that we use are ingredients and operation, which means that you open the book, read the lesson, answer questions, and move forward. (Bretani recommended almost everything below

Mathematics- 20-30 minutes

We use Nicole Mathematics and Mathematics Lady. We used to use Saxon Math at the Girls School (they turned into mathematics in focus) and I knew I wanted to return to Sexon. Nicole, a lady of mathematics, teaches each lesson (about 10 minutes a video clip with a break in the brain, which he loves P) and then you have training questions and 1-2 working papers to complete. You can enter children’s answers in the computer and track their degrees. Each lesson takes us about two days to complete it.

Rules -20-30 minutes

For grammar, we use Masterbooks, which is a religious approach. It includes studying images, memorization, punctuation, spelling, vocabulary, monitoring, poems, psalms, messages, and practical application through creative writing. We just started but I feel that she has already learned a lot from this textbook. I learned this year’s manuscript, so it works to answer questions in a manuscript.

Writing-20-30 minutes

To write, we do Myths, myths and fictional tales Writing lessons from IEW. It focuses on their structure and method of style. Currently, she works to read myths, make the main outlines, and the novel (the ability to recite the story using its notes).

Reading – 20 minutes

I just want it to enjoy reading today, so we read something super and enjoyable together. This book held a test of time and loves it. Both are often busy at some point while reading about Fudge and its strangers.

Science + Social Studies / Geography – About 2X per week for each of them

I am still trying to discover a plan for this, but I am not concerned about this because we are close to the summer. Currently, it works to save the states, capitals and the ability to locate their location on the map.

For science, we do one project every week. In the first week, we dissected owl kneeling, compatible with bones on bone sorting plans, and we talked about what we found. The second week, she built an egg drop that we can drop from the balcony to yard while maintaining the eggs. We talked about speed, gravity, momentum, work and reaction. This week, it works to build a rotating ship.

Since we are only planning home education until the fifth grade, I will communicate with Lev School to find out what are the expectations for the high students of the fifth grade of science and geography so that I can make sure that we are covering the rules.

midday:

We take Maisey on a picnic and lunch together, join some household chores, and discover in the afternoon plan.

afternoon:

When we made this decision, I told P that I liked to hold on to her but could not be the director of cruises all day. In the afternoon before we pick up LV, I will make training calls, create content, editing, podcast interviews, everything I need to do for a few hours. I have also transferred my work schedule, so I work more on weekends or when the pilot at home is to train airlines. (We started all this when he left, so I was alone and buildings and discovered all this along the way.) Saturday is a working day now, and most on Sunday. Besides the basketball game P, I will write/work/edit largely all day to dinner.

In the afternoon, you will play with games, and work on something you enjoy (music, animals, hoop photography, etc.), and if you have fallen at work, I will take it to an internal playing place, to run the missions, and sometimes I will give it some screen time. Since she has basketball at night and chasing her with LIV to dance lessons, she usually does not get screen time in the evening.

The days of mixing it. Sometimes, I will have an appointment in the morning, or study a Barrie, so we are doing school in the afternoon, and we also explore some TUCSON HOMESCOOLs. There are a lot of great things here: Parkor, gymnastics, art, cooperatives, horse lessons, music-I am excited to verify them!

This is how things are going now! I am sure that this will change over time and my plan is to address mathematics (it ends from the third grade book now, hoping to obtain the fourth grade and general 5 in the next year while it is in the fourth grade). Other books are the fourth grade books, so we will move until the fifth when you complete them.

Homeschool allows you to meet the child where they are. If they are progressing quickly on a topic, you can apply with them, or spend more time on certain topics if you need it.

If you have any ideas for enjoyable science projects or any social studies and geographical resources, I appreciate that a lot! Also, if there are any questions I can answer in future posts, please LMK!
