Children will meet Annibale Carracci, Caravaggio, Rubens, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Bernini, Wren, Vivaldi, Bach and Handel while exploring their unique contributions to the arts. While on their journey, children will also examine cultural movements within an historical context, daily life in Baroque England, baroque fashion and meals, baroque entertainment, exploration and establishment of North American settlements in Jamestown and Plymouth, Galileo, Sir Isaac Newton, The Thirty Years’ War, Château Versailles, sonnets, musical counterpoint, art patrons, the War of Spanish Succession, and so much more!

Writing the Visual, Kinesthetic, and Auditory Alphabet is full of tips on engaging the students in the learning and remembering of the letters, how to write them and what sounds they make.
There are many hints for preventing backwards letters, and much more. This approach works because young children learn new information most easily when new concepts are tied to movements and to visual object with which they are already familiar.
We have chosen to approach the task of writing the alphabet by using wording that will allow the child to imagine actually DOING what they hear you say. Each letter lesson ends with fun activities that allow children to practice their new letter and thus deepen their learning.
Writing the ....Alphabet may be used on its own, but is far more effective with our Child 1st Alphabet with the charming visuals that help children remember their letter shapes and sounds! After your download, print the file two sided and staple in the middle to make your book.

This book covers the pushes and pulls of the universe. Gravity, magnetism, static electricity and more!
Would you like to enjoy a nature walk or nature study, but you worry about covering those formal areas of science in biology, physics, and chemistry?
This nature study allows you to enjoy nature and time with your child outdoors. At the same time you will help guide him and make connections between his natural world around him and more formal scientific concepts.
The Summer Nature Study and More has topics for June, July and August. Each month has several topics pertinent to the season. For each topic, you receive living book reading suggestions, questions to promote discussion of the topic during your nature walk, suggested nature walk or post-walk activities, and scientific connection topics.
The scientific connection topics extend your nature study observations into a study of scientific concepts in biology, physical science, or chemistry. You receive a list of suggested living books and a list of experiments and activities related to the extended topic.
For example, a nature study of bird and animal migration extends into a study of the earth's magnetic fields and magnetism.
Also included throughout the book is poetry relevant to each topic in the nature study to use as copywork or literature study.
At the back of the book is a section offering recommendations in nature journaling and sketching . There are also nature journal notebooking pages to use during your nature study to write your observations or copywork and make sketches of your topics of study.
This nature study method helps you and your child bridge the information you gather from your personal experiences and observations with formal scientific concepts. So, get ready to ditch those science textbooks, delve into your natural living world and guide your child into experiencing science the natural and personal way!
