- Growing our roots into Botany
Posted on Sunday, January 24th, 2010 in Encyclopedic Knowledge – Comments: (0)We started Botany last month and picked Zoology as our next topic. It really worked well for us to learn their introductory units one by one – so much in common! Though, it stretched a little – holidays, long weekends, flu… but we don’t mind – it is fun! We even have a new PPT presentation about all the things we’ve learned: Introduction to Biology, Botany and ZoologyOther Categories and how we use these materials.
- New Presentations by A.P.P. – books in English
Posted on Monday, January 18th, 2010 in Uncategorized – Comments: (0)Wonderful, most wonderful new books by A.P.P. I really loved that this set of presentations helps the young readers with vocabulary and that it has more depth to the Charlotte Web lovers – more information about the pigs, about virtues and vices, and about swans and trumpets. Thanks to A.P.P. for sharing these gems (and many more that are coming over the next couple of days)!
- New Presentations by A.P.P. – History for Kids!
Posted on Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 in Uncategorized – Comments: (0)History, by far, is my own favorite subject. It is truly rare to be able to find information on that subject adapted to younger kids, so these gorgeous presentations wonderfully fill the gap. I truly love how in these presentations A.P.P. is bringing a historical perspective to the subjects that are dear to every kids heart – such as sports, reading, and writing.
- Phonics based whole word cards by A.P.P. – step by step instructions
Posted on Saturday, January 16th, 2010 in To Read – Comments: (0)I’m going against the Doman grain here, but my own method did involve constantly “testing” the young reader, in a way. We began at age 22 months, and he was able to pronounce all of the (simple) words on the cards. So I was not just showing the cards. But it wasn’t as brutal as it may sound. We took it in stages and I was gentle every step of the way.
