Learning Through Life

Kids at this age are like sponges, the goal at this age is to expose them to different things and information. While they will learn information, it is not the main goal!

Please note that some things are religious-based. I will indicate all religious-based information with * on both sides of the information so if you would like to remove it from your homeschooling, feel free to do so!

Every morning after breakfast:

Operations: Simple addition:

Time:

A Half-hour is the 12 and 6 on the clock; when the long hand is on the 12 it is at the top of the hour and when the long hand is on the 6 it is called the bottom of the hour, or it is the half-hour. On a digital clock the number on the right will be :00 for the top of the hour when it is :30 you are at the half-hour.

• Practice telling time by the half-hour!

Community Helpers:

*A church is a place where someone will worship God. These buildings are usually safe places to go if you need help. You do not need to attend church to get help. Sunday school teachers teach the children and occasionally adults the faith. *

Social Skills:

We say please when we want something and thank you when we get it.

• Martin Luther King Jr. Day is always on the 3rd Monday in January. This is the day that we remember the civil rights movement and the man who led it.
• Groundhogs’ day is always on the 2nd of February. This is the day that we watch a groundhog leave his burrow. The legend is that if the groundhog leaves the sees his shadow, we will have 6 more weeks of winter.
• Valentine’s day is always on the 14th of February. This is the day that we show others that we love them, we can do this any day … but this is a good day to show that you really love them.
