Share our 4th grade Homeschool curriculum plan! Keep in mind that I am not a professional in this. We calculate it as we go and it is our first full year Homeschool after completing most of last year at home. More on why we decided at homeschool in this post. If you need expert advice, see my friend Brittany’s blog!
Hi friends! What are you doing? I hope you have a stunning day so far. We are officially in back-to-school mode here. LIV started last week (8th grade! I can’t even believe it) and we continue the homeschool today.
For today’s position, I wanted to share a little more our plan for this year and the curriculum we do if you are curious about domestic education.
I think it’s worth mentioning here Homeschool is not as scary as I thought it would be, Especially when we first examined it. We all want the absolute best for our children and I was really worried about her failure. Now that we are in the world of the house, I can tell you that it flourishes. She learns so much and we are able to adapt her plan based on her interest and levels. We are also able to move forward faster, which keeps it interesting.
The 4th degree Homeschool curriculum
Here’s what we plan to do this year, but it can always change or adapt as needed.
Mathematics (30 minutes)
We continue with Saxon Math and Nicole the Math Lady Because P loves her and does an incredible job that teaches Saxony lessons. Its software also takes care of sorting, so P will only enter its answers to the platform and receive a grade for each assignment. It’s exciting and concise – we like it.
Reading (30 minutes)
I want to keep reading pleasant, so he got a book we will read together and discuss as we move on. We start with The lion, the witch and the wardrobe.
Writing + Grammar (30 minutes)
For grammar, we still use Bookswhich is a curriculum based on faith. Includes images study, memorization, punctuation, spelling, vocabulary, observation, poems, psalms, letters and practical application through creative writing.
For writing, we do the Myths, myths and fairy tales writing lessons from IEW. It focuses on their structure and style method. She is currently working to read myths, making basic outlines and narratives (able to repeat the story using her notes).
I have ordered the 4th grade books last six months and when it is over, we will head to the 5th grade books.
We also work in a research document every quarter, based on an interest. Her first is going to be bullfighting after our journey to the Museum of Bully in Seville.
Social Studies (30 minutes)
I have ordered some history books to work, and also A round book on how to plan the United States. He is excited to start with this first and to highlight every state, capital, rivers, etc.
Science (only Friday)
I still work in science plans. Last year, the thing homeschool happened quite abruptly, so we made a scientist on Fridays every week. I will probably keep on Friday as a day of science, but I thought about ordering some monthly kits. If you have any SCIENCE KIT REC subscriptions, send them my way!
Last year, we did things such as the anatomy of the owl beads, the construction of an egg drop and the construction of an adventure.
ART/FUN/PE/EXTRA (sometimes during the week)
We have some extra fun things this year, including the Rural School, which is one day each week. It is only for two hours and will be able to drive horses, help with animals and create art on the farm. It also has one day of the Homeschool Parkour courses. Between these two things and the practices of the club, it still gets the opportunity to be around other children and play on a weekly basis and I am grateful for it.
Homework:
We started using the Khan Academy after some good friends who recommended it and have been impressed so far. When Homeschool, there is really no need for work, but I wanted to stay in its groove to have a * small * job because the plan is to get back to personal school in the end. (I also feel it makes sense since Liv has the job every day.)
For work, he does 20 minutes of Khan Mathematics Academy and then 15-20 minutes of reading, grammar or coding.
Some Homeschool questions
How did you find a Homeschool curriculum?
Brittany It was so kind to spend a long time with me on the phone. Asked about P’s interests and common ideas. She made the house of the house feel less intimidating and I am so grateful for her advice. It is also homeschooled their children all their lives, which makes me optimistic in case P does not return to personal school next week.
How long does it take for home?
The most beautiful thing about homeschool is that it is 1: 1 focused attention, so you don’t need almost so much time. So much of the personal school is spent on children and trying to get them to hear and pay attention.
We are able to complete what we need to do for the day in about two hours, which leaves the rest of the day open. He can use this time to deal with things that are interesting (such as art, rattling or piano exercise), or we can enjoy a short trip or excursion.
How can you work from home and homeschool?
This is the place I still try to navigate. I present most of my content during the weekend so that I can focus on kids and home as much as possible during the week. I also started planning customer calls and podcast interviews when the pilot is home, because when he is not on a journey, he is Professor of Dad and can assume the duties of the house.
I just feel like moving at 1000 miles/hour, because individual parental care gets full focus/attention/energy/effort, and then, when it is home, I crush myself by working trying to cover everything. You just have to get the hang of this program and find my groove.
Ok Friends: What are your kids to this year? Homeschool Mamas: Any advice as we head to our first full year?
I hope you have a stunning day and I’ll see you soon!
