What is The Earth*School Curriculum?:
A nature and seasons based curriculum for young children and their parents. It is specially designed for homeschooling families, and can be used with one child or many children. The activities in the Earth*School curriculum are suited for a wide range of ages. Young toddlers will enjoy the art activities right along side their older siblings. The recommended stories can be shared with toddlers, preschoolers and kindergartners, but are also great for cuddling up and reading aloud to your older child. The cooking activities will readily be enjoyed by all members of your family, regardless of age! The Earth*School Curriculum is divided up by activity type. It includes original songs and movement activities, set to familiar tunes. Other areas included in each unit are science, math, nature table crafts, creative art,language, recommended books and places to go and people to see. There are six original activities to be found for each area.
Cost: $10 digital, $12 for printed version
I bought Unit 18: Down at the Pond printed version, the next day I received an email letting me know it was mailed aqnd I received the packet 2 days later (free shipping). Now it wasn’t what I expected, though that isn’t a bad thing. I suppose in my mind I saw something rather formal, do this on this day and this on the next sort of thing. What it was instead was an organized listing of various activities all related to the pond theme and sorted into subject groups. It is very open allowing you to pick and choose what you want to do and what you don’t, and it is full enough that I can repeat it next year and possibly the year later without it feeling like a reveiw to E.
If you’re creative enough to come up with lots of ideas then this might be boring to you. However if you sit at the table trying to think of fun things that aren’t repeats it might be worth it to get. It is suppose to last 6 weeks, though I can see how some might finish everything much sooner. still though, for the cost it is worth it.
I plan to buy the Alphabet and the Day and Night units next.
