Moving Beyond the Page ~ Age 4-5 Curriculum RELEASED

I have often been asked what we used for kindergarten with Brynne. My typical response is to read, read, read, learn letters and handwriting. Maybe throw in some fun topical math. We learned a letter a week.

This weekend I posted our review on Moving Beyond the Page. It is a literature-rich unit study product that we absolutely loved (and will be using extensively in the future to supplement our studies)!

Today I received an e-mail that the 4-5 age program has been released. Oh ... this is totally what I would have used if it would have been available when Brynne was that age. It looks EXCELLENT! It also covers a letter a lesson, based on a picture book.

You can see a sample of the A lessons, and I encourage you to check it out. I was not asked to post this recommendation. I just like to pass along valuable products when I find them. This is a product I think any Pre-K or kindergarten home educator would love to have! The cost is minimal, too, if you are able to get the books from your library. The online version of the unit studies is only $124.19 and includes the full curriculum unit study guide and the materials kit. If you don't have access to a library with the books, you can purchase them all through Moving Beyond the Page.

You can also receive an additional 10% off with coupon code FUNINTHESUN. It expires at midnight on Monday, July 8th.

A curriculum for ages 12-14 is coming soon, as well.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

ABCya

Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

How to Build a Homeschool U.S. History Curriculum from "America: The Story of Us"

FINAL UPDATE (JUNE 2012): We completed our entire U.S. History course last month using the America: The Story of Us video series and the resources I had planned. We officially covered Episodes 1-9 which got us through the 1920's. We plan to use the remaining three videos when we study the World Wars in a couple of years. I just want to go on record as saying that I believe whole-heartedly that the use of this series with my resources would more than qualify your child for a full credit of U.S. History. And, it was exciting and enriching. Feel free to follow all of my lesson plans. You can see them all at this link: http://journey2excellence.blogspot.com/search/label/America%3A%20The%20Story%20of%20Us Update: America: The Story of Us is now available as an InstaStream through Netflix! We also had it available at our local library. If you didn't receive a complimentary copy, you won't have to pay the $30 for it! Many of us received a complimentary copy of "...
