Mommy22alyns Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Sylvia is very smart and very determined. She gets out there, gets to her work, and plows through it in doubletime. Rebecca is older, more distracted, and has a heavier workload. Sylvia needs some extra things to do while I work with Rebecca that do not involve a computer or any noise. We have a small house. She reads at a high level and finds pretty much everything easy. I need some non-wasteful ideas to keep her busy for a couple of hours! Quote
Ariston Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 If she enjoys math, I would look at Beast Academy. Its very friendly to being done without a parent, and it's a comic so she might think of it as fun extra work. Quote
skeeterbug Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Logic workbooks/games. Vocabulary, maybe Wordly Wise? Singapore Challenging Word Problems. Maybe a geography study, like Around the World in 180 Days which is reasearch based. Quote
skeeterbug Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Another idea...Apologia science. I think a motivated 3rd grader could read the text and do the pages in the notebook on their own, depending on the text (some are aimed at upper elementary). The regular notebooks have review questions at the end that you could use for oral comprehension. Quote
Kfamily Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 I had my dd create a geography notebook (just a plain story paper style composition book....blank on the top and lines below) based on Geography From A to Z by Jack Knowlton. It was very easy independent work and the result was a lovely keepsake type book which she can use as a geography reference. There are 63 entries and all she had to do was copy the geography term and its meaning in her notebook and draw her own version of the picture which accompanied it. She also keeps a copybook (same type of book as above) and I let her copy her favorite excerpt from a book for school and then draw a picture which expresses it. Quote

Here are some free notebooking pages for Geography A to Z from Mama Jenn...the definition to copy and a place to illustrate, for anyone who might be interested. http://www.mamajennblogs.com/2011/09/illustrate-geography-dictionary.html Quote
Mommy22alyns Posted April 14, 2013 Author Posted April 14, 2013 We're doing ECC right now, so she's already doing the geography pages. Right now it's just 1 a week, but I might as well up it to two. As far as logic, she plows through those too. We make copies 2-3 times a day for her (these are allowed to be copied). Quote
