- It's that time of year where the books roll in, hidden in boxes that are SO fun to open. Here are some of the books we will have on hand for our 2024-2025 5th grade secular homeschool year. #homeschooling #5thgrade
I love books so naturally, I love this video!
I wasn't sure how it would go over since it wasn't a specific homeschool haul. A bit of a mom-daughter jumble but isn't that the reality?!
Rainbow pages!! It looks so pretty, definitely do a review once you read it.
I'm surprised I hadn't heard of the book. I hope it is good. I will see if I can read it in time for the next monthly homeschool update.
Thank you for this video! My daughter and I enjoyed “History Smashers: Plagues and Pandemics” by Kate Messner.
I will have to look that one up!
I listened to Make It Stick. I think it was your channel where I saw it. Anyway, it was insightful. Thank you for the recommendation! It also helped me realize that our math curriculum that is mastery-based may not be the best fit for older grades. I think Shormann Math incorporates a lot of the things the author said in Make It Stick. Just wanted to pass that along.😊
I have been thinking about that as well: how mastery works when the book discusses spiral working well. Because on the flip side, Cal Newport's "Deep Work" has been practically my bible for focused learning throughout my two decades of work before I moved to a farm (Newport didn't invent the style, he just wrote the trendy book on it). So I spent some time sitting around flipping through Math-U-See. I think it is more what I would call a really slow spiral. So it gives my kid more time on a subject that she needs to consider it in her own time (the mastery portion), then she moves on, and then the math comes back around in the application and enrichment pages of the lesson blocks. You have a really good point that kids and learning changes over time so maybe as we move on, the style, depth or speed of learning also needs to change. The other book I find I refer to often is Jeff Sutherland's "SCRUM: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time." I used that model in work and increased production 5-fold. It was almost freakish how well the techniques worked without exhausting a team. I sort of dabble with that in our homeschool. Morgan and I are the guinea pigs! It's about the efficiency and focus rather than speed. I follow the special forces motto "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast" and "train the way you fight, so when you fight, you have trained for it." That was actually mentioned in "Make it Stick."
Nice! I will need to look into those resources you mentioned. We do Singapore Math in younger years (mastery), which I think is fine. Especially because younger children are more easily discouraged and can’t really see the big picture.😊
Have to check out the graphic novel! Thank you!
Good! I'm glad. We both thought it was really good and generated a lot of conversation. I think the fact Mohammad Najem was a real kid reporter really gets a child's interest. The fact it isn't make believe makes it an especially amazing story that sticks in our minds.
