boscopup Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 My 3rd grader is a little behind in reading and writing but progressing well. He'll be 9 in November. Math: CLE 3/4 (he'll finish half of 3 this school year) LA: R&S Phonics 2, Reading 2, Spelling 2 History: MOH 2 Science: TBD We've started as of last week, and he's almost done with CLE 3. LA is staying the same for now. History is MOH1 still. Science is Creek Edge Press Life Science task cards, which he is enjoying. I'm thinking when we finish MOH1, I'll probably get the middle ages task cards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maela Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Maela, Sorry for the late reply! I've include the list of books I'm reading as part of our Family UU Studies, they are just books I feel the kids are ready for and suit them at their current level. As for GVS, this is my first year with it, but I love it, it very much suits us. Here's my new layout: Family * Oak Meadow Circle Time (Verses, Poetry, Movement etc) * My UU Studies Booklist (these reflect our values, studies, beliefs and interest in other religions): - Many Ways: How Families Practice their Beliefs - Accept and Value Each Person - Picture Book of Louis Braille - Mother Theresa: An Alms Bowl - Unitarian Universalism is a Really Long Name - Gregor Mendel: The Friar who grew Peas - Grandad's Prayers for the Earth ................edited to shorten post.......................... Book: I am Growing • Book: I’m Growing – Aliki • My Body: My Reproductive Organs • My Body: Put Together wow, thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparrowsNest Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 For my 3rd grader, it's looking like: Morning Time: Composer Study, Worship, Poetry, Memory Work, Cultural Studies, Vocabulary, Shakespeare, Read Alouds And Added SCM's Laying Down the Rails. We're loving that! Latin: Finish Prima Latina, then move onto...Getting Started with Latin Math: Finish Singapore 2B --> BA 3; Finish Horizons 3 --> Horizons 4 (won't start that until next spring) Reading Instruction: Finish CLE Reading 2, move into Mosdos Ruby; Read through McGuffey 3 with me Moving on with CLE Reading 3 LA: WWE, AAR 3/AAS 3; Finish CLE LA 2, move into [not sure, either CLE LA 3 or MCT] Going to give MCT a whirl! Science: Exploring the Building Blocks 3 History: My Own History hodge-podge based on a chronological ordering of CC's memory sentences Independent Reading: America First, My Book House 3, Burgess Animal Book with note booking pages, Pinocchio with comprehension guide, The Fairy Ring, Fifty Famous Stories, Viking Tales, Redwall, plus several novels of own choosing, Went on and chose some myself Ha! Tea Time:Let's face it, Tea Time was a great idea but just never got done for us. Artist & Folk songs moved to MT. Artist Study, Folk Songs, Geography (Using Charlotte Mason's Geography) Lazy Mama chose Daily Geography and now she says Geography is her favorite subject? Piano ​...and she wants to learn Russian.

Tawlas Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 We also do a Morning Basket where we do memory work, vocabulary, biographies, read alouds, artists studies, composer studies, and devotional What do you use for biographies? Does it tie in to your history studies? I'm also looking for a good source for biographies but haven't had a lot of luck with our library so I may need to buy.

I'm also looking for a good source for biographies but haven't had a lot of luck with our library so I may need to buy.We do not tie bios to our history. We do short bios - Mathematicians are People Too, the Children's Plutarch, and bio sketches in the front of each of the Poetry for Young People volumes as well as artist and composer bios from various sources as we study them. This works well for morning basket. My older kids read more complete biographies (eg Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass, etc) in their subject work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAttachedMama Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Is anyone using a loop schedule with their third grader?? If so, would anyone be willing to share their specific loop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also looking for a good source for biographies but haven't had a lot of luck with our library so I may need to buy. I forgot all about our Value Tales biographies! There's an old (70s?) book series called Value Tales, and they use the life of a noted individual to highlight a value or virtue (eg The Value of Respect: The Story of Abraham Lincoln). They are suitable for an attentive preK'er to about 10 years old, maybe older depending on child. We have about 6 or 8 of them, but there's got to be 20-30 published.

I had forgotten about them, but my parents have the whole set! My dad used to read them to us as bedtime stories. I think I will have to borrow them.

Carrousel Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 We have the value tales and love them. I think they are from the early 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
