Lily will be 3rd grade this year. She loves reading and math and art. She is a perfectionist and gets very frustrated if she has trouble with something or doesn't immediately understand something new ( I have no idea where she gets that from!) She will be joining her older brothers for Bible, science, poetry, history, art, P.E. and nature study. Math, language arts, reading, and handwriting she will be doing on her own.
Bible: Study of the book of Luke
Poetry: IEW Poetry
Math: Math Lessons for a Living Education Book 3 from Master Books
History: America's Story from Master Books
Science: Science in the Age of Reason by Jay Wile
Handwriting: Pentime Transition from Rod and Staff - I love their handwriting books. No fluff and inexpensive.
Language Arts: Eclectic Foundations B- These does include cursive handwriting in it, but once they learn all of the cursive letters it does not have any practice doing simple words so that is why we are doing a separate handwriting.
All About Reading Level 3 (aff link)- She finished the first half of this book last year, so we are starting with the second volume. As I mentioned she is a very good reader and reads all of the time but we are going to finish the program so I can read with her and make sure her pronunciation is correct and that she is continuing to learn the rules for sounding more difficult words out.
Nature Study: Exploring Nature With Children
P.E.- We will be doing PE at the park for the fall semester
Art- We will start the year finishing our ArtAchieve subscription.
Our school year started earlier this week. So far it has gone pretty well. We did not do all of our subjects this week, just a few.
Happy Homeschooling!
