Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah!
I hope you all had a blessed Shabbat and fellowship time. We did! The atmosphere is changing as we plan/prepare for Passover! Anyhow these are just a few of the hands on activities from last week. While our youngest (2nd grade) was learning about the water cycle we did the suggested Masterbooks activity to demonstrate the water cycle in a glass jar for him. Which was fun; similar to a previous a activity of making a "cloud in a jar." Then we used some 'hands on' play doh for our 4th grader in Math to make 3-d shapes. Both simple activities that were fun and enriching to the learning experience. These are easy to recreate at home with your children too! sources used: Masterbooks Math Level 4 & Masterbooks Let's talk Science: Adentures in the Physical World YOU CAN NOW CONNECT WITH US ON OUR FACEBOOK HERE!

Hello scattered friends and family in Messiah Yeshua! Today's post is just a few of the things we utilize to keep home and school organized. ENJOY! Recently we added the rolling cart (seen above) to our homeschool and it has worked marvelously! The top bin is for me, and the next 3 bins are for our children. {art boxes and each book I need to grade their individual class work} This way I am not carrying 12 + books everyday back and forth. The cart just gets rolled into the area where we are doing school. Each child has a binder with divider folders by subject. 1 side of the folder has a month of work in it and the other side is where I put their graded papers for the wk. Each day I can pull out the work for the day, after grading it, it goes in the other side of the folder until Friday. Likewise, each subject "section" has notes and re-usable aids to help them in their work. Instead of laminating we just put the papers in sheet protectors and the kids can use a dry erase marker on those and wipe it clean to be re-used. This is the 1st year I have used a lesson plan and it has helped tremendously. I just got mine from Hobby Lobby but you can find them all over. The last picture is of a blank version of the grading app (bleow). The app is available on google play store or the apple store for free. I set it up so that each child has a profile with their classes assigned to them. The Grade Pal app totals their percentage out of points available.
I assign the letter grade on the basis of the above grading scale. ie:88.6% =B+ if it is bordering two letter grades for example 89.6% is bordering a B+ or A- if the decimal is .5% or higher it is rounded to the next grade so the 89.6% would be graded =90% A- if it were 89.4% it would = B+. I would like to note in our state -> grade keeping is not required. I choose to keep grades (for myself) to have a general idea & record of how the kids are doing. The benefit of homeschooling is when troubles arise...we can "pause" and practice until they catch on before moving ahead. These are just a few of the organization tools that we use. Every homeschool adjusts as needed to what works for you and your family!! What a fun adventure may your journey be blessed in Messiah Yeshua! YOU CAN NOW CONNECT WITH US ON OUR FACEBOOK HERE!

This is our 2nd grader's science class and this past week he learned about the different layers of the atmosphere. This was a really fun week! Above are pictured some of his activities and 1 craft. This week he will be learning about different types of clouds and I know he has some upcoming, hands-on crafts with shaving cream and cloud crafts with cotton balls. But these visually stimulating lessons are very engaging. He really loved the study, craft project, and everything this week. We had lots of fun! Adonai our Lord, how excellent is Your Name over all the earth! You set Your splendor above the heavens. Ps 8:2 TLV YOU CAN NOW CONNECT WITH US ON OUR FACEBOOK HERE!
