phathui5 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Our Rainbow Resource order came today and I realized tonight that I forgot Health. I'd like to get something to use for it, any recommendations? I have a kindergartener and a third grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 We'll be using Abeka Health next year for a 3rd grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Have you seen Growing, Growing Strong ? I haven't used it yet, but this is what we are planning on using next year (and beyond). It seems to be a very gentle but appropriate curriculum. It is geared towards a classroom, but I don't believe it would be difficult to implement in your homeschool.

Pat in MI Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 and liked it. You read a story from the book about the Miller family and there is an accompaning workbook. Each chapter in the story book corresponds to a chapter in the workbook. We usually did the workbook orally. It is a very gentle, easy way to do health. HTH Blessings, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAberlin Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 We are using Prudence and the Millers for K and Abeka for 1st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phathui5 Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 We are using Prudence and the Millers for K and Abeka for 1st I thought Prudence and the Millers was more for 4-6th graders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat in MI Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I would think it would be for Grade 4-6 if they were doing it on their own, but my 1st grader did alright with it this year. I did it as a read aloud/discussion for my 1st grader and 6th grader. It goes over keeping yourself clean, telephone etiquette, table manners, etc. It is fine for early elementary (as a read aloud) as well as older children.

Shelly in IL Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I have a 3rd and 7th grader. They are familiar with s%xuality (we live on a farm), we talk about cleanliness, good eating habits, etc. Am I missing something? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I have a 3rd and 7th grader. They are familiar with s%xuality (we live on a farm), we talk about cleanliness, good eating habits, etc. Am I missing something? Thanks. I was wondering the same thing. I incorporate those kinds of lessons on a daily basis. What are the reasons for using a more formal health program? Mainly comprehensiveness? TIA!

Pink Fairy Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 We used an adorable book last year called "Proper Manners and Health Habits" from Rod and Staff. It's in workbook format, and it's just a sweet book. Another plus, it costs only a few dollars--less than five, I think. I don't know if a health curriculum at these young ages is actually necessary, but we enjoyed it. I imagine most families cover the same information in normal family life. Our family uses a health curriculum for 3rd and 6th grade (so far), not every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
