  1. Thanks for all of the great ideas! I bought Homeschool Tracker and will spend some time soon learning how to use it. I'm just not a big computer person when it comes to lesson plans. I like having everything on paper in front of me. I know I can print stuff, but - well - we'll see how it goes. Thanks, Judy
  2. For example, I read my oldest child's science chapter and the topic is cells, I want to teach all of the children together, so I need to figure out what they can do together and what each individual is responsible for. They will all listen to the chapter being read aloud, watch a video about cells and make the edible cell activity I found online. The 6th and 7th graders will define the vocab. words, label a diagram of a cell, and answer the questions at the end of the chapter. The 3rd grader will read a library book about cells, fill in the blanks of a vocab. sheet, and label a simple diagram of a cell. The 1st grader and Kindergartener will do some copywork on cells and color a picture of a cell. Now, what is the best way to organize information like this while planning this summer? I tend to make things more complicated than they need to be. So any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Judy
  3. If I had to pick one book for my librarian to order it would be the WTM! Try Ambleside Online for more ideas. Wish you the best! Judy
  4. I read it aloud to my kiddos and we all loved it! The interaction was priceless. Enjoy! Judy
  5. For Teacher Appreciation Week (May 7th - May 11th) they will let you explore all of there sites for free with limited downloads. Check out there website - www.readingatoz.com . It's great! Judy
  6. Try A to Z Mysteries. Jenna loves them! Good to talk to you today!!:) Judy
  7. Thanks for sharing your pictures and details about the notebooks! I'm planning our next six weeks right now...any suggestions about notebooking or other sheets y'all have found helpful? Y'all are Wonderful! Judy
  8. Thanks! Do you have specific things that you want your student to cover concerning important people, wars/conflicts...? Like...Date born/died, where did he/she live, why were they important? Or do you let them write whatever they would like to write about the person or event? Thanks, Judy
  9. We read alot of our history aloud as a family and discuss it, watch doc./movies, read novels...but I haven't made them do many written narrations - mostly oral. Same for science. They can answer the questions at the end of the section. They sometimes fill out a lab activity or other worksheet. We look up things on the computer, have the occasional experiment during class, otherwise it's mainly talking about the chapter. I feel like I should have more to 'show' for what we have covered. The kids love it and are learning....I don't know maybe it's th p.s. teacher in me... What do your kids have in their notebooks? Thanks, Judy
  10. Wow!! Y'all make me think I could actually make ToG work for my five kids. Lots of great tips and suggestions! :001_smile: Thanks Everyone, Judy
