Curriculum
There are two ways to get started with Fun-schooling.
Choose a Grade Level Curriculum Bundle OR Customize a Curriculum by choosing individual books.
Choose a Grade Level Curriculum Bundle
- Each Grade level has 3 different choices, typically for boys, girls, and a bundle for struggling readers/Dyslexia
- Simply add on a math program/book to the bundle, and you’ll need 6-9 books from the library or elsewhere to pair with the Core Curriculum journal.
Customize a Curriculum by choosing individual books.
- The first thing to do is choose a Core Curriculum Journal based on your child’s interest. If you’re new, you should browse the bookstore by grade level. Have your child with you to help choose which journal interests them the most. Any of them will work. They are built with different child’s interests in mind.
- Add in a Language Arts book. Again have your child look at the options with you and see what peaks their interest. Again, any of them will work.
- Now add on a Math book/program. There are many good options here. We highly recommend many different authors and online courses such as Life of Fred, Prodigy.com, and KahnAcademy.org. You can see recommendations from other authors at the bottom of the bookstore pages under “additional resources”.
- We frequently combine History, Geography, and Socical Studies in our books. Enjoy a choice from that list. Ask your child “what do you want to learn about” as you look at the list of books.
- In most grades, we have additional Science books which make Science fun! We often use the outdoors and the real world around us to inspire Scientific study.
- Electives! So many fun choices. Baking, Music. What does your child love?
- You can make a weekly plan which includes different books on different days, or do something in each book every day.
