We started our more rigorous school schedule again this week. We are doing a new Biology curriculum from
The Good and the Beautiful called
Kingdoms and Classifications. It has been great so far. It is geared towards grades k-6 so all the kids can participate in various ways. The older kids do microscope labs.
Their are matching games with pictures of different types of cells. Those red cups are a sorting game that shows the order of taxonomy by decreasing magnitude.
The kids sorted buttons by different characteristics.
Brother S is learning to read this year and we are using a new curriculum that is supposed to help all the kids with spelling and letter direction/order. It is called
Spell to Write and Read. I love programs that can work for all the kids together. One of the first exercises is running around the clock - they need to know the clock so that they can form letters according to placement around the clock face. They learn cursive and printing at the same time. It is supposed to help prevent or remediate dyslexia because of the way the cursive letters flow in one direction.
Sister A and Brother M also decided to do an art project based on this foldable house.
They made foldable house for their dolls.
We had some tiring days getting back on school schedule.
