Saint Matthews Curriculum - This is the curriculum used for Advent's elementary age children. Kids may enjoy downloading the dramatization part of the lesson to put on skits for the family at home.
At-Home Tips (from Advent homeschoolers and educators):
Structure. Kids enjoy knowing what to expect in their days. Think about how to structure the week with learning time, playtime, and quiet time.
Create stations that can be easily accessed by children. For example:
Art station, full of supplies
Reading corner with selected books
A place to listen to or play music
Building Station with blocks and/or Legos
Dress Up Bin with past costumes, scarves, hats
Lots of outside time. Think recess or nature walks. Fortunately, we are having some great weather right now.
Some kids are no longer napping, but they still need quiet and alone time. When naps stopped in our house, we moved to I-time (not i-Pads or i-Phones) but a period of time to be quiet in our rooms for everyone.

We miss your kids, and both Abby Dorn and I, Brenda Wright, would love to hear from you or your kiddos.
