Online Music Session (4 weeks)

Image
During the COVID19 school shutdown I had a blast offering some music classes to students in both K-2 and 3-5 grades! As we begin the school year in 2020-2021 I won't have a lot of availability for extra classes but I have been wanting to offer something to my friends who were interested in continuing. Hopefully the short 4 week session is something that will add some joy and fun into your school day! Classes will be held from 9:00-9:30am Central Time. This might be something that can get your morning going in a fun way, or maybe it falls during a great time for a break in your homeschool morning! Classes will be live and hosted on Zoom. You will need to register with the form below and I will contact you with further details! I will send a reminder the night before along with a private Zoom room link with password.

2020-2021 planning

I'm starting to feel a peace that things are coming together for the year! I love planning but it takes a long time for me to feel like I have fit all the puzzle pieces together! For those of you curious in our curriculum, I have taken Charlotte Mason principles from the Volumes and ideas at A Delectable Education to cultivate our education through living books! My spreadsheet is still a living document as I find the best ways to fit all the wonderful books into our three main topics of knowledge. I feel like a key cog in this machine is understanding how to work your curriculum into a history cycle. I LOVE this explanation and follow the principles in order to keep both my children in the same history rotation. If you would like to see how I fit my subjects on a spreadsheet, here is a copy! Each page will hopefully print on one landscape orientation paper so I can keep it in a notebook as I plan each week for our readings! All the book links are affiliate links that are helpful ...
