Kindergarten Complete

kindergarten-complete

 

Kindergarten Complete is a literature-based, all-inclusive curriculum designed to meet the needs and challenge the abilities of kindergartners. The purpose in publishing this book is to help parents have an enjoyable year in effectively teaching their children. The detailed lesson plans in this book cover all subject areas, (Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Physical Development, Fitness, Fine Arts, Character Development, and Bible) and are created around thematic units. They will guide parents step by step in teaching their child, and will provide documentation for the work during the year. The supplies are low-cost items, and the curriculum incorporates quality children’s books that can be borrowed from the library. Exposing each child to different genres, authors, and illustrators will help to instill an excitement about learning to read. A variety of activities are provided because each child learns in a unique way: some are auditory learners (hearing/speaking), some are visual learners (seeing), and some are tactile learners (hands-on). The lesson plans are designed to keep parents organized, and to simplify the sometimes overwhelming process of homeschooling. The goal of the Kindergarten Complete curriculum is not only to teach facts and figures, but also higher-level thinking and problem solving skills that create a love of learning.

Trail Guide to Learning

geomatters-2015-hcg-ad

 

Trail Guide to Learning is a complete curriculum based on the educational philosophy of homeschool advocate and educator Dr. Ruth Beechick. She encouraged hands-on learning, the use of real books, copywork, dictation, and nature study – principles that were also promoted by Charlotte Mason.
 
Each subject connects, creating a natural approach to teaching. Carefully selected biographies form the spine of history. Language skills, science, and geography all springboard from the content of the readers and family read-alouds. Writing instruction is clear and concise, and assignments are always associated within the context of subjects covered. Teaching with these connections will naturally result in a fun learning experience and increased development of thinking skills.
 
Starting with American History establishes a firm foundation of the character, sacrifice and determination that founded our nation. Students develop a love for their country and learn the qualities of good leadership, forming a model to compare with world history during middle school years.
 
Organized in six units for the school year, each six week unit provides weekly review through games, Bingo, crosswords, word searches. Hands on activities add depth to each study and play a significant role in the learning process. For more details visit our website http://trailguidetolearning.com
