They love drawing and spend a lot of free time practice and learning more from classes and RU-vid videos. Definitely not typically drawings for their age, so please don't compare!
Thanks so much for putting all of this together in a video. We currently utilize notebooking as well, but this helped generate more ways to add writing from our content areas. I love the light board idea for tracing, so smart! I also had never heard of ReadWorks, but what a great resource! Looking forward to your future guides! 😊
This was so helpful thank you! 🙂We are in our third year of homeschooling and I have been wanting to incorporate notebooking but wasn’t quite sure where to begin. I am curious, how do you go about choosing topics to study for science? Do you use any sort of spine to get ideas from?
Hi, I go into this a bit in my guide. For science, we have dabbled in a variety of curricula including Blossom and Root, Real Science Odyssey, and Nomad Press guides. Science is tricky because there are a couple different approaches you can take - mastery-based like B&R and RSO or more spiral based with different topics like Nancy Larson Science, Bookshark, Moving Beyond the Page, and Oak Meadow. You can also DIY science unit studies with Nomad Press books (i'm about to share a flip through of those) and/or History Plus online (doing all science this year)www.historyplusonline.com/.
I noticed you said you only do notebooking weekly. Do they just pick between science, history or language arts to do a notebook page? Do you do one page per book every week?
Hi! I break all of this down in my new Notebooking Guide, www.homespunchildhood.com/store/p/notebooking-guide. We do our learning journals once a week. If we covered both science and social studies topics that week, they do a journal page for each of those. If we just did science, then they just do a science page.
Where did you get those soft bound notebooks you have them in many colors and around minute 25-30 of this video ( they look much smaller than school nest) they have the onion paper, I don’t see a link for it
