Connecting Science pre-k, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, grade

Another great CM style resource for science comes from a company called Teacher Created Resources. It’s called Connecting Science. They use literature, picture books to explain a science concept and then list several fun activities to reinforce the concept. Teaching Science concepts never got easier for primary grades pre-K through 5th.

Several book titles and topics to choose from. I really like this book they its very user friendly for both teacher and child. I was struggling with when to start Apologia materials this year or next – then I found my first Connecting Science Book at a book sale. For primary and younger ages these manuals are perfect. The newer versions may not include the literature you would have to check. However they do offer a thematic version for almost all the Magic School Bus series. These books are much better than I originally expected as a homeschooler.

You can find titles for yourself through the link below.

Building a Video Collection.

Sometimes when you home school it’s difficult to remember or keep track of where you saw a particular online history, religious, or some other type of educational video that you want to include with your studies.

Now that there are several different online video formats available for free online video watching it makes it easier and at the same time more difficult to incorporate videos into a lesson. Some video websites tend to scare me with what pops up after your children view the clip your interested in showing them. Or there is a video line up with anybodies guess what will be viewed.

You can view my Catholic homeschool oriented video collection here.
