I want to share a list of kindergarten books to read aloud in your homeschool that we enjoyed, but before I do, please know that not every kindergartner will be ready for chapter books and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.Īlso on a side note, yes I did read Wonder aloud to Emily in kindergarten. Most of our days begin and end with me reading aloud to Emily. Reading aloud plays a very crucial role in our homeschool. Kindergarten Books to Read Aloud & Independently I did these with her and I enjoyed them as well.

The last and biggest unit study we did was our Zoology one.įor this unit I used Sassafras Adventures Volume 1 Zoology as a spine combined with Discovery Kids Travel through the Amazing World of the Animals.įor each unit study that we did I tried to use the Draw-Write-Now books because they were a great way to get Emily to practice her copy work happily and they are a great way to learn how to draw. The three main things we used for this unit was Discovery Kids Atlas: Explore and Discover the Wonders of Your World, A World Full of Animal Stories, and Our Continent Boxes. Next we did an Around the World unit study. The main book we used for this was Discovery Kids Blast Off on a Mission to Explore Space. We started the year with Space because of the Solar Eclipse in August. We did quite a few small ones but the three biggest unit studies were Space, Around the World, and Zoology. Unit Studies For Homeschooling Multiple Subjects At Once This year she completed Apples and Butterflies. She loves Fred and Kingie and their antics and I love that she is in love with math. We tried Math Mammoth, Math-U-See, and Mathematical Reasoning.įinally I stumbled upon Life of Fred and a child who hated math and cried almost daily over it quickly proclaimed that math was her favorite subject. Math For KindergartenĮmily reluctantly started the year with Horizons Math, she fought me tooth and nail everyday.Įven though she was learning and doing fine I do not wish for our days to be a fight if there is no reasons for it so I decided to look for something else.
We used Zaner-Bloser K for half of the year before I dropped it in lieu of copy work. Handwriting was hard for Emily, she is a perfectionist and could not make herself happy with her writing because she wanted it to match the example perfectly and it would upset her that she could not no matter how hard she tried. Whats not to love about that?Īround January I heard about The Good and The Beautiful and fell in love with the idea of an all encompassing language arts curriculum so I bought the Level K and Emily completed it in May. We did the Fairy Tale Project which was so much fun, reading fairy tales, watching movies, and rewriting your own version. We love the Brave Writer Lifestyle so this year I chose the Jot it Down curriculum for writing.
Curriculum Choices For Homeschooling Kindergarten Kindergarten Language ArtsĮmily completed Hooked on Phonics Preschool and Hooked on Phonics Kindergarten last year so we continued with Hooked on Phonics First Grade this year, we do not use the DVDs we just use the workbooks and the readers. I think kids learn more and retain more when they are interested in what they are learning. I then plan a unit study around that for her. We have a routine that is do the next thing until I see my daughter has an interest in something. That is not to say we do not finish what we start, but I am not a strict planner nor do we have a schedule. While following our daughters interests for the other subjects. It’s truly one of the greatest gifts of choosing to homeschool.įirst, let me say that we are curriculum dabblers! We choose to use multiple resources to teach language arts and math goals. I am glad that homeschool allows us to switch curriculum and ebb and flow with our children’s needs.
