I saw on your blog that you had funcooking outside, so that's good!<br /><br /> Yeah, as far as history goes...I'm not looking for anything heavy, just somethingalready pulled together so I'm not creating things as I go along (with the new baby and my oldest taking Algebra 1, I need easy! lol) My little guy will be 5 in December and he is raring to go!

But like you mentioned, the flexibility is wonderful...we started on a Thursday this year!Staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869552571064566480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163323533274040183.post-12932770307009603282016-08-25T22:16:11.390-04:002016-08-25T22:16:11.390-04:00If not on paper, then the overall outline for the ...If not on paper, then the overall outline for the year is in my head! We started last week, but only got three days in before other things got in the way. And this week has been completely disrupted by camping in the backyard so we could get some painting done inside. I hope to be back on track next week. <br /><br />As for history for a kindergarten kiddo, I would really not bother with a curriculum at all. Social studies encompasses so much. Find fun picture books at the library about different countries or history periods. Piggy-back on older siblings' history topics. Memorize the Pledge or Star-Spangled Banner or something like that. Make it all fun and light. Four years old is still a baby :) (At least, my 4yo is.)<br />Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124853867811087834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163323533274040183.post-60711491237282566682016-08-22T07:55:26.732-04:002016-08-22T07:55:26.732-04:00I just want to add, the pictures of the children a...I just want to add, the pictures of the children are so adorable. I like you teacher mom and baby picture too. I hope you all have a great school year!

This helps me to add in resources for support.<br /><br />I do have a general outline for our year with goals and topics to learn that I write in summer. I had a late start to planning too so I understand what you mean.<br /><br />This would be our fourth week, but I think I will be switching this week with our planned week off. Dad is off for the week, today is my birthday and the girls think I should take off, and their sister friend will be here two weeks so yeah I think we are taking this week off. :) Love the flexibility!

I do a quarter at a time for a rough idea of where we need to be and throw in some flexibility. My suggestion for history would be real books! :) Happy homeschooling!Farmlife Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986872485762862172noreply@blogger.com
