Homeschooling in Ecuador: Browsing for Curriculum, AKA Drinking from the Fire Hose
http://celosiaschool.blogspot.com/2015/07/browsing-for-curriculum-aka-drinking.html
First grade. I think! RA Gudino - Aspiring Writer. Saturday, July 4, 2015. Browsing for Curriculum, AKA Drinking from the Fire Hose. Breathe. Just breathe. It's first grade. We don't have to conquer the world this year. I'll settle for learning to read. Item 1) Overcoming Dyslexia by Somebody (it's been a long evening of names). I'm going to add in some right brain activities (www.rightbrainkids.com I think that's the site). They are a little out there with some things, but I hope to help Rac...3) Spend ...

http://celosiaschool.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
First grade. I think! RA Gudino - Aspiring Writer. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Yesterday was Raccoon's last day of school. We went to the zoo to celebrate. Today, the first day of summer, it's all boxes and imagination. Posted by R.A.Gudino. Monday, May 11, 2015. Kindergarten is Almost Done. I have a smartphone again (happy sigh), so you'll be seeing a lot more updates from me now. He wrote his name from memory on Mother's Day, the best gift ever. Posted by R.A.Gudino.

Homeschooling in Ecuador: July 2014
http://celosiaschool.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
First grade. I think! RA Gudino - Aspiring Writer. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. We have a schoolroom! My mother and father came to visit for a wonderful month, and while I was busy with kid stuff, my mom organized my new shelves and learning materials in what used to be our laundry/storage area made into a room with a bookshelf wall. The last step is to hang a curtain to keep visiting kids out of the fragile things. What are we up to? Sneaking in some pre-writing activities. Music, Art, and Language. Book Clu...

Homeschooling in Ecuador: March 2015
http://celosiaschool.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
First grade. I think! RA Gudino - Aspiring Writer. Thursday, March 5, 2015. Raccoon and I have 46 school days left to complete our first 180 days of homeschool. Since January we have been doing more relaxed schooling, and it is working well for us, except that now I'm staring the end of the school year in the face and I feel like we haven't done enough. So I hopped online to find a K assessment to see how he measures up. 2) Georgia has a 179 page kindergarten assessment in 7 subject areas. The other ques...

Homeschooling in Ecuador: December 2014
http://celosiaschool.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
First grade. I think! RA Gudino - Aspiring Writer. Wednesday, December 3, 2014. Raccoon is more of a global learning than sequential, so lately I present the whole alphabet to him instead of going letter by letter like I was before. He seems to be retaining more and wrote this on my whiteboard this morning. Posted by R.A.Gudino. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://celosiaschool.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
First grade. I think! RA Gudino - Aspiring Writer. Sunday, August 31, 2014. Celosia School - Year E (Kindergarten). Neither Raccoon nor I are morning people. Kitty and my husband, the King, wake up with a smile and chatter, Raccoon and I do not. 6 to 8 am Somewhere in here all four of us eventually wake up. Kitty likes to go outside first thing and Raccoon watches some Netflix until he's civil. 8 to 9 am Valiant attempts at breakfast which neither one of my children eat well. 6 to 7 pm Supper. So this is...

First grade. I think! RA Gudino - Aspiring Writer. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Book Review: Overcoming Dyslexia. At the end of a book like this, the question I always come to is, "Would I recommend this book? And if so, to whom? If you want to find out what dyslexia is and what to do about it, then yes. If you're looking for encouragement as a homeschooling parent of a child with dyslexia, not so much. While a parent should not become her child’s primary teacher. Later, she shares her low opinion of public s...

http://celosiaschool.blogspot.com/2015/06/prep-for-1st-grade.html
First grade. I think! RA Gudino - Aspiring Writer. Friday, June 19, 2015. So what are our big plans for first grade? I've said this before, but I need more planning time. This is first grade. We're in the big leagues now. :-) But I do need to be more intentional about meeting our goals. I am starting out this year with the end in mind, especially for his reading. First Grade Goal #1. Post a weekly picture update. I did a few last year and love looking at these. Posted by R.A.Gudino. Going On A Fields Trip.
