United States History

  My son loves United States History since he read stories about the U.S. presidents in his history book at virtual classes last year. That is why I decided to do extra classes about United States History, in addition to his ACE curriculum. I start with the history of the state we live in, Florida. I found the web page of Florida state and do it a simple PowerPoint presentation and worksheets about the state symbols. I use Frayer's model modify to my purpose for the lesson. I divided the lesson into three parts and do it three worksheets to work on after the lesson. I have a toddler and a 9-year-old son, because of that, I created a preschool worksheet more easily and other more difficult for my other son. You can do the same I did with the state that you live in and teach your child about that state. If you want to download the lesson for free and the worksheets for a low price, follow the weblinks: Free Florida State Symbols Lesson:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NpJm-zMz4aKZS

Cursive Writing Practice

During the time that I teach in Puerto Rico, I also teach de cursive writing to my students, cursive writing is a good skill to expedite the students writing. I started to created worksheets for practice and reinforce the cursive writing before he do it the book. The English book (PACE) teaches de cursive letters uppercase and lowercase separates and in alphabetic order. Honestly, I preferred that the student learn first de cursive vowels and the consonants, because, in that way, they can write words more fastened than other ways. Also is good for the students to see the relationship between the uppercase and the lowercase cursive letters. Another way to teach cursive is teaching the letters in groups with similar tracings. The most important things in learning cursive are: The student must learn the correct paces in the correct order to form the cu

As I have told in my last post about our journey, mi eldest son works very well with ACE Curriculum (Accelerated Christian Education). Because of that we choose this curriculum to do homeschooling with him, this curriculum is very easy to use, otherwise, you don't have study education courses. Include workbooks, tests, test keys, score keys for the students to autocorrect their workbooks. Before start this curriculum, the student needs to do a Diagnostic test to assign a level, the levels are parallel to the regular grades in a school, if the student is classified in a lower grade, he can reach his actual grade on his own pace.  Como les habia comentado en el post anterior del comienzo de nuestra travesia, mi hijo mayor trabajo muy bien con el curriculo ACE (Educación Cristiana Acelerada).
