Want MoDG?
Philosophy
As I’ve said in my About Page, I am passionate about the realities of child development. I’ll explain this stage here once I get my junk in a pile.

Language Arts

Will add in a bit. At this age, we’re skill-building. The basic groundwork is laid, hopefully. For cursive practice at this age I’ve used Handwriting Without Tears and homemade pages using the StartWrite program.

Religion
During these years, we continue Bible stories using Schuster. Kids usually continue to listen in on the liturgical year material from K-2..
Math

I’ve used Abeka, Math Mammoth, Time 4 Learning, Saxon, and Teaching Textbooks.

I’ve supplemented with Calculadder, Reflex Math, Math-It, Memory Joggers, Right Brain Math, Education Memory Aids, and Montessori.

Literature & Poetry

At this age, 

Spelling

Spelling never came easy to anyone except my first. We’ve used SpellWell, Writing Road to Reading, All About Spelling, Vocabulary Spelling City, and .

Science

Change Picture. Living Books, C&C, MoDG.

History

We *kinda* follow the MoDG plans here, but they’re not metered out like mine.
I’ll post my versions soon.
Geography
This is mostly absorbed into Recitation time, but we do the MoDG plans for USA mapping in 4GRD. I’ll add more in a bit.

Latin has its own page. Click HERE.

Art & Music

MoDG, McIntyre, Draw Squad, Kistler’s Drawing Site, You Can Draw in 30 Days, Child-Sized Masterpieces, That Charlotte Mason site I can’t remember, Music Masters, SQUILT, and that other site with the Haydn book I liked.
