Homeschooling with the Weaver Curriculum

The Weaver Curriculum is a core curriculum which contains Bible, Social Studies, Science, Language Arts, Health, Safety, Field Trips, Vocabulary, Art and Memory Verse. Each volume is a full years curriculum for 7 grade levels which are k-6. A supplement can be bought with each volume for grades 7-12. It is reusable, so every couple years the volume can be repeated. Each volume covers a different part of the bible and is based on that area.
This curriculum worked well for us since it covers a wide range of subjects and grades. We have 7 children and learning the same topic at the same time was very helpful and saved time. Being Bible based was also a plus.
Day by Day is a separate volume which helps you know what to teach, when to teach it and what you need to teach it so you can have all supplies ready. Creative writing and page numbers for Wisdom Words is also included.
Wisdom Words is a separate volume. It is a grammar and composition program for grades k-6. Highway to English Grammar is a supplement for the older grades.

We did a chapter on Kings and Queens and for part of the lesson the kids all dressed up in different costumes and put makeup on etc. We took pictures and treasure them now. When we did lessons we could gear them to the age of the child. A three year old would draw a picture whereas a 12 year old would write a 2 page report. Both could choose the king or queen they wanted to study.
When we did our cities chapter we made maps, learned about geographic features and street signs to name a few activities.
For Family History we made timelines, memory books, history of family, family events etc.

Each chapter has many ideas to use including movies to watch, things to make, language arts, bible lessons, science etc.

These are some of the things we did which stand out in my mine. There are so many subjects covered it would be hard to write about all of them.

We have volumes 1-5 for sale on our store along with Wisdom Words, several supplements and Genesis. http://www.wabbstersbooks.com/ To buy a new copy from Alpha Omega publications please go to http://www.aophomeschooling.com
