How to teach a child to write a novel

August 21, 2009 By Annette1 Leave a Comment

I learned about this page through HomeSchool Freebie of the day.

What Little Blue School did was put together a PDF on How to Teach a Child to Write a Novel. My boy isn’t quite old enough for this yet, but it looks like something we’ll do in the future. πŸ™‚

Go check it out.

Alphabet Lap books – A

August 17, 2009 By Annette1 Leave a Comment

This will of course be a series of 26! After all there are 26 letters in the alphabet.

I am hoping to every week design a week around one letter of the alphabet.

I will hopefully have games to play, poems to read, scripture to memorize and so forth.

I’ll be using a variety of sources.

These three to start with:
http://www.homeschoolshare.com/alphabet_notebook.php
http://www.dltk-teach.com/minibooks/index.htm
http://www.homeschoolshare.com/level_1_lapbooks.php

But I won’t of course use everything on the different sites. I’ll be pulling off what I think I”ll use and all that. πŸ™‚

Here’s what I have to start
an alligator poem and an apple shaped letter book and a letter size sorting game.

I want to make a stencil of the letter A and put it up on the fridge with “a” pictures we find or can draw so that we remember what letter we’re working on for the week. πŸ™‚

I’m not sure about doing this one from DLTK’s, book is cute, but seems Like you need LOTS of paper to do it. So just thinking on it yet.

I used this Letter A reproducible from Innovative Classroom.

Here’s a neat site! Teacher Planet. Got a craft idea which I’m revamping to make a construction paper apple.

and then I got this idea, since Justin likes cats, to find pictures of cats that begin with the “letter a”, so then I went here which got me cat names, and then all I had to do is find pictures. πŸ™‚ Here is an Abyssinian. American Bobtail. American Shorthair.

How to Do research

August 13, 2009 By Annette1 Leave a Comment

I thought this site pretty good.

It’s from the Kentucky Virtual Library. Teaches children how to do research. πŸ™‚ It’s interactive. Taught me a thing or two as well.

Should mention, it was sent to me in an email from TheHomeSchoolMom.

Independance Day?

July 2, 2009 By Annette1 Leave a Comment

I’m Canadian, so doing the whole independance day (US based) is not really my thing.

But I thought I’d post up these links because who knows….maybe I can rework them to do a Canadian theme for CANADA DAY! πŸ™‚

TOS sent out this as well,

The Girlhood Home Companion’s Happy Trails Horse Clubβ„’ is a one-of-a-kind resource for girls who want to learn more about horses and explore the many positive ways to get involved with various riding disciplines. Each month features a different breed and discipline, weaving together a collection of fact and fiction about equestrians from the past and those who are making a difference in the world today.

So know any horsey folk? Perhaps that website might interest them. πŸ™‚ Here’s the direct link.

TOS freebies

July 2, 2009 By Annette1 Leave a Comment

Have I ever told you to go the The Old Schoolhouse and get on their email newsletter lists?

Good way to get free stuff you can use when you homeschool.

yes, it’s a pain to try to figure out the whole storage space thing, but it’s free!

And what does it cost yah to get a couple of discs to store things on? not that much!

I’m on one list that sends me out stuff every Friday.

This past week they sent out their October Module from 2008 that normally you’d have to pay $7-12 for. And just by waiting a spell…I got it free! can’t beat that now can you? πŸ™‚

if you go here, you can even see what they’ve sent out. Happy looking!
