We move the rest of the year with Easy Peasy Curriculum .

 Happy New Year..

We return today from our Christmas break. We start the new year with a different strategy. We are moving forward with Teaching Textbooks for Math and Easy Peasy online curriculum for Reading, Language, Science, History and Bible studies.

Today was :

Teaching Textbook. One unit of Math (progress report is available upon request)

Easy Peasy:

Reading : 

1. Write quench (story 3), dismay (story 4) and retort (story 5) in your notebook, each on its own line. Pay attention to those words while you read.
2. Guess what you think those words mean.
3. Read stories 1-5. (This is from the book McGuffey’s Third Eclectic Reader, revised edition and you can find it in the EP Fourth Reader if you have that.) 
   • Story 1 Click on Lesson 2 at the bottom of the page and so on through 5.
4. Look up each word to see if you are right. Type “define” and then the word into the search engine. Write the correct definition of the words in your notebook.

Language:

Handwriting

1. Write your full name, full address and phone number.
2. This is the end of your work for this course for your first day. You are allowed to move at your own pace (this is homeschooling), but it’s intended you complete one lesson a day.

Bible:

1. Read Matthew 1:18-24. (audio)
2. Tell the story to a parent.

Early American History:

1. You will be reading The True Story of Christopher Columbus. That’s the link for those who want to download the book.
2. You are going to be reading the first seven chapters.
3. Today you will read the first half of chapter 1. Here is the audio version if you want to listen to it.
4. Look at the picture of Columbus. Look at a map of his most famous voyage. Here are two paintings of imaginings of what it was like when Columbus landed. What do you observe?

Zoology: 

1. Do you see the word ZOO in the title of this page?  The suffix -OLOGY means “the study of.” What do you think “zoo” refers to? Animals, of course! So, zoology is the study of animals. It is pronounced “zoe-OLogy.”
2. Zoology is part of biology, but there are SOOOO many animals that have so many neat things about them. God took care in making each one. You’ll learn how they each have special strengths, defenses, and abilities. Animals are amazing and they are all so unique because our God is amazing and creative!
3. Before we start learning about specific animals, I’m going to throw some words your way. You may or may not know them. Don’t worry if you don’t learn them today. You will learn them better as we go through the year. They are the words that describe how animals are classified. You’ve probably heard the word bird, right? Of course! Well, what makes a bird a bird? How would you describe a bird?
4. That’s classifying. You described a bird so that when you come across a new animal you can see if it fits the description. If it does, it’s a bird.
5. Animal classification is what we’ll be looking at first. There may be a lot of new words for some of you, but like I said, you’ll get used to them throughout the year. For some of you, this will be easy! You love animals and know all about this stuff already, so have fun!
6. Watch the video on animal classification.
7. Make sure you know what each of those classification words are in general.
8. Try the quiz. He scored 100%

All work is in file for review if needed.
