My children aren’t that far apart in age, so to have materials that are designed for a grade 3 child can easily be adapted for a grade 1 child. If our choices of curriculum can help you in any way with your choices, than I’m so happy I’ve shared it with you!įirst of all, where I can, I’m combine learning. I LOVE the process of choosing curriculum – which for me is finding out and keeping tabs throughout the past year on all that’s out there and the possibilities. I’m so excited to share with you our 2019-2020 grade 3 homeschool curriculum picks! That said, I will choose to fan the flame of curiosity this next year! Homeschool is about fostering a love for learning while helping our children find their God-given gifts to share with the world and impact others with the love of Jesus by their character and actions. It’s not about fitting into a box, creating a template of people and leaving them to enter workforce and community. I will be more intentional in this area as I feel this is truly what education is all about. This summer I read the book, The Brave Learner by Julie Bogart, and it really enlightened my perspective in homeschooling and children when it comes to exploring a topic as curiosity stricks a child and digging deep until the flame is no longer there. I haven’t included everything that we’ll be doing in our grade 1 homeschool curriculum picks as I tend to add more materials along the way as needed. This is totally fine, but I need to plan accordingly and combine learning to avoid my potential burnout with too much curriculum. With my children being in the elementary grades, my involvement is heavier and more hands-on. My children are just 2 grades apart which makes learning the same thing altogether (for certain subjects) adaptable and doable. One thing I like to do is combine learning where I can.

So I’m wondering if the same homeschool choices that we went with for my daughter in grade 1 will be okay for my son.

Here we are, entering the new year and I’m excited to share with you our 2019-2020 grade 1 homeschool curriculum picks!īeing that my daughter is in grade 3, preparing for grade 1 and the curriculum choices seem easier, but my son definitely has a different learning style than my daughter.
