And By God’s Grace…

Jude is now officially a first grader at the Aberásturi Home Academy!  He was supposed to start last December, but with my crazy schedule, it simply was not fair to get him on board without me 100% ready for his needs.  Plus, I needed to run an errand in Mindoro, so I had an out-of-town trip that ate up my time for lesson planning.

As with all the best laid plans, the AOP Science curriculum that Bea (now in third grade) used will just be a supplement.  Recognizing Jude’s special interest in astronomy, we will focus on Exploring Creation with Astronomy for the whole year.

For the rest of the subjects, we’ll have the following:

Math – Lifepac Level 2 – Alpha Omega Publications

Language – Speak, Read and Write 1 – C & E Publishing

Reading – Reading Network – Sibs Publishing House

Bible – Following God 1 – ICI Ministries

Character – The Power for True Success – Institute in Basic Life Principles

Filipino – Binhi 1 – Jo-Es Publishing House

Social Studies – Mystery of History Volume I – Bright Ideas Press. To be supplemented with Makabayang Lahi from Ephesians Publishing, because we have to comply with DepEd’s directive that Social Studies be taught in Filipino.

Music – We are still fluid on this. He’s still deciding between the ukelele, the guitar and the piano.

Arts – Online materials, and Sing, Sketch, Stretch 1 from Abiva Publishing House.

Etiquette – Family Book of Manners – CLC

Welcome to A-HA, baby!

3rd Grade Curriculum

by

It’s my third year as Teacher Mommy, so I’m starting to be more adventurous with our curriculum. We’ve been using AOP Lifepac in the past two years, but this year, to cut cost, we’re going to use more local books. We’ll stick to AOP Lifepac for Math and Science, however.  These are two subjects that I would not mind spending on.

Science – Lifepac Level 4 – Alpha Omega Publications

Math – Lifepac Level 4 – Alpha Omega Publications

Language – Speak, Read and Write 3 – C & E Publishing

Reading – Charlotte’s Web – Total Language Plus

Bible – Following God 3 – ICI Ministries

Character – The Power for True Success – Institute in Basic Life Principles

Filipino – Sanghaya 3 – C & E Publishing

Social Studies – Makabayang Lahi – Ephesians Publishing (We are complying with DepEd’s directive that Social Studies be taught in Filipino.)

Music – Piano Lessons

Arts – Online materials, and Sing, Sketch, Stretch 3 from Abiva Publishing House.

Etiquette – Family Book of Manners – CLC

Since we have two months of waiting for the Lifepac sets to arrive, I’ll be using Math for Lifelong Learning 4 and Real Life Science 4 from Abiva Publishing House for our Math and Science activities.

Also, for Social Studies, we’ll be supplementing our lessons with the Mystery of History Volume I from Bright Ideas Press.
