Bible, Science, History/Social Studies!

Literature, History, Science, and Bible. I teach one per day in Kindergarten and then when they get to 1st grade we do one small lesson daily.

Science, history, geography.

PLAY DATES!! then religion, then literature, history and science.
~HolleeAn V.


Bible, History, Science and Literature. 
~Beth M.

We do scripture study every day. James and Tommy do a personal scripture study {because they are readers} and then we do something together. I do History twice a week and Science twice a week with those taking up most of our day. Because James and Tommy both play instruments there is practicing every day. And then there is lots of play!!

Next week's Question is.... Reading??? How have you {or how are you} taught your kids to read? Did you use a program? Did you just read to your child and he/she picked it up? Do you drill sight words or do you work more phonetically.

I'm a new homeschooler & I love your blog!
I have an answer For next week's question... For my 3rd grader, we have appx. 30 minutes of "reading-aloud"-- usually a book about the Month's or the Week's theme/holiday/etc) for Instance, I found some wonderful Black History Month books this month! (Medium-Short stories with pictures) and then at the end of the homeschool day, we do 30 minutes of the child "silently reading" a longer, chapter book.
