RFWP for Early Elementary


Recommended Posts

Mariann mentioned a science book for this age range. What else have you used or seen for this age group from RFWP that you enjoyed? Thanks!

 

Maybe you're looking for more detailed reports, but if you're just looking for a list of resources to check out, you can search by grade on their website.

Let's see:

 

Our Community Primary Social Studies TM and Student Book http://www.rfwp.com/0344.htm

This is authored by the same individual who authored the Animal Kingdom book - on the basis of that alone, it is worth a look....as the AK book is excellent.

 

Poetry Pad - http://www.rfwp.com/0793.htm I am SO going to need THREE of these.....or FIVE if I include the grand-daughters!:D

 

Museums, Muses and Me: A Museum Sketchbook http://www.rfwp.com/160X.htm'>http://www.rfwp.com/160X.htm'>http://www.rfwp.com/160X.htm'>http://www.rfwp.com/160X.htm This book just about sums up why I homeschool --b/c the opportunity for rewarding, unique experiences can be found at every turn.

 

What color is Newton's Apple? http://www.rfwp.com/160X.htm A 'learning across the curriculum' book -

 

Educational Play: Language Arts http://www.rfwp.com/1707.htm Pls read the description on the website - I think that this is another 'learning across the curric' book that probably has alot of potential for much use. I tutor a little boy with dyslexia, and the games in here are great for him.

 

Aesop's Fables: My dd9 LOVES LOVES LOVES Aesop's Fables -- Definitely must order this.

 

Terri's Winter - http://www.rfwp.com/2193.htm Animal Story - Would likely go well with The Animal Kingdom books when doing the Turtle Unit.

 

Script Ease -- http://www.rfwp.com/1001.htm

A simple, step-by-step guide from manuscript to calligraphy.

Reproducible worksheets designed to teach children Italic handwriting. The italic alphabet is beautiful and readable and has the additional advantage of presenting a sensible and logical progression from the printed letters to their cursive counter-parts. (Can Be Used with Charlotte Mason Methodology)

 

Suppose the Wolf Were An Octopus: http://www.rfwp.com/series24.htm#134 - Definitely worth taking a look -- might not be your 'literature' program for older primary or middle school, but for the youngers, it is something that would be fun to work into their lit/reading program.

 

At the K-3 levels, there is much more on the website that's worth a look. These are the publications that I am in the process of ordering or I already have. I love to switch things up, throw new things in, have these types of materials on hand as a treat, anything to keep what we do new, fresh, and NOT routine. Probably more for me than for the kids.

 

The website is definitely worth a good look -- on the left hand side of the page, one is able to search by Subject, Grade, Author, Title, Geography, Novels, or Series. I found SO much......there is alot more to RFWP than MCT --and I would consider MCT a tough act to follow, but the others are worthy. I know that I've already mentioned Keepers of the Flame and TACKLE THURSDAYS - those are for older kids - 4th and 5th grade.

 

Also, Dr. Dave's Science Manuals - not a stand alone science program, but excellent books with fun science things for kids - K and up would enjoy this. And, some of the activities are 'across the curriculum.'

HTH Oh, yes: I am working on parsing Keepers of the Flame - hoping to get that finished by end of next week.
