Annual Assessment 2011/12

We sent in all the quarterlies and I wish there is a way for me to show it here. For annual assessment, this is what I wrote in.

HOMESCHOOLING STUDENT: XXX

STUDENT I.D. #: XXX

GRADE LEVEL: 1

DATE SUBMITTED: June 30, 2012

Ian has satisfactorily completed at least 80% of the required material for this year. He has made adequate academic progress in all subjects and has surpassed 900 hours of instruction. Highlights of the year include:

o Several academic field trips, including the New York Botanical Garden, Queens County Farm Museum, Mid-Hudson Children’s Museum, California Academy of Sciences and the Home Depot Kids’ Workshops.

o Significant proficiency in reading comprehension and writing ability for grade level

o Ability to tackle grade-level and advanced mathematics

o Interest in beginning scientific experiments

Ian will begin 2nd grade in July 2012.

Hopefully it'll be sufficient...

Also sent in LOI for the new year and pondering if I should send in the IHIP early this year so I can send in the metrocard application early too.

Anyhows, for the IHIP, I found that the World Book Typical Course of study is a GREAT resource to use!

I have been quite pleased with all the paperwork needed to be done in NYC. It's not THAT cumbersome as some would say, and the people in the office has not given me trouble.

Online Resources: Sesame Street Games

I love the Sesame Street Games ...I think they are the best for preschoolers. They teach important concepts, at the same time, making computer skills real easy. For eg, there is no "click and drag"...that's hard for them...there's "click" "move" "click". There are some games Ian really likes...(click on photo for the games) That's the Wheels on the Bus song (you press the keys foe interactive movements) Patterns. Seasons. Fun for the kids. Walking the dogs...numbers. This is alltime favorite. First you make a pitcher of lemonade. Then depending on how many monsters come, you click however many cups. I love it!

Science 2015/2016: Human Body Recap

We really had fun learning about the Human Body this year. I thought it would be meaningful to consolidate our learning. We enjoyed the Body Book more than I thought we would. I did do most of the cutting though. We also enjoyed the different videos we watched and the experiments. I think this is the most successful science year yet. The five senses Tongue the Ear The Skin The Eye Skeleton Joints Long Bone Tooth Brains Spinal Cord Digestive System Stomach The Lungs The Heart The Urinary System The Muscle Look through all our experiments and videos here .
