Essentially, the project will have all participants taking at least one photo of their location at the same time every month, for 9 months. After the 9 months, we should be able to see the changing seasons from a visual view along with a graph of the monthly temperatures. We have a great group of participants from all different types of school settings - some traditional schools, some home schools and some just families who wanted to volunteer. Everyone has been very excited about it and positive on the additional activities we've created such as recording field trips celebrating the seasons and having the kids lists what they like about each month.
Katherine is in 2nd grade this year, and she will continue in the same subjects as last year. Her history will now cover the middle ages. She will be doing Saxon 3 Math. Her science this year will cover space and our world. Geography will be incorporated in her history class, the Changing Seasons project and beginning state recognition. Latin, piano, language arts, spelling and copy work will continue from last year's stopping point.
Mary started PreK 4 and is very excited about starting school. She has started Saxon K Math and has math class 3 days a week. She has also started learning her vowels and their sounds. On Fridays, 2nd grade and PreK 4 art class and religion class is combined for their lessons. All grades also participant in ballet for physical education.
I am looking forward to discovering all types of field trips to take the kids on to celebrate the different seasons of the year. Some thoughts are a pumpkin patch, Christmas tree stand, plant store, camping and a farm. I also want to add a lot more music and artwork to their daily studies. We'll see what I come up with this year.
