tashagwen Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) We are doing a light schedule for my DD, I schedule everything weekly but because we are taking our time, sometimes it last for 2 weeks :lol: . I have MUS & OPG that we do a few times a week. We read 1 bible story weekly, and may do some type of activity to go along with it (ideas from abcjesuslovesme.com). Every week we learn about 1 animal, do a letter craft (A alligator, B bat) and then classify them on our board. DD likes to paint & does so often for fun. I would like to add a little more. Nothing heavy. I cant decide what is best for her age. Id like something that is planned out for me, if its not then most likely it will not get done. I was thinking about: the states, countries/continents, history, composers, artist or character traits.. Would learning about composers/artist at this age be good? Ive heard of HSers focusing on 1 composer/artist a month. Is there any curriculum out there that lays it all out & is age appropriate for a soon to be 5yo-- that is not too pricey!? :D Anyone have any advice, or a good curriculum that would fit a stb 5yo?

jenbrdsly Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Welcome to Hive! Your library might have the Beethoven Lives Upstairs CD, or Mr. Bach Comes to Call. You could also try making homemade books with your K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondeviolin Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I love FIAR for our "fun stuff!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmhearn Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I love FIAR, as well. Lots of great art ideas. I used Harmony Fine Arts Grade 1 in Kindergarten. It's very economical and offers several options for fine art study. You can also add in something like Artistic Pursuits for more art instruction.

mhornby56 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I'm going to be doing the Wee Folk Art seasonal curriculum with my 5 year old this year, and I'm really excited about it. It's similar to FIAR, but more laid-back. Plus, it's free. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErinD Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Seconding Wee Folk Art - I'm doing it with my about-to-turn-4 year old and it's great. I am especially taken with the quilt idea although in this case my 10 yo dd will be doing the sewing, also the recipes. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
