A Sample Day: Week 1, Day 3 (Grammar Stage)
Literature
1. The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin
2. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Ch 2
3. Doctor Dolittle, Ch 2
4. The Book of Dragons, Ch 2
This list of literature reads neatly coincides with the ELTL lesson plans. It makes my brain so, so happy because I feel organized just by association. So on day 3 of week one, when we open our ELTL to the lesson 2 as scheduled above, we will find that our daily reading is chapter 2 of Doctor Dolittle. If you aren’t using ELTL, these scheduled readings can be added to your day for an extra dose of quality literature.
Preschool and Lower Grammar
Pathways: Path 1, Day 2
A. For the Children’s Hour
B. Among the Farmyard People
C. Madeline’s Rescue
D. The Real Mother Goose — 2 poemsPlay with math blocks
Play with cuisenaire rods or MUS blocks. Have your little one make pictures with blocks. You can demonstrate by making a house or a face, or use a print out such as the one mentioned in Signposts.
Yup! There is even a little reading and activity scheduled each day for the youngest kids in the home so that they can do school with their older brothers and sisters. These readings are the same ones found in the free Pathways book list — they’ve just been added to the daily schedule here for easy reference.
