Second Quarter Package C

Designed for children ages 8-10 (3rd grade), this Sonlight package is a comprehensive, yet easy-to-use curriculum that includes everything you need to homeschool for the second quarter of the school year: daily lesson plans, book notes, teaching tips, all the books and

materials. Simply continue with the math program you’re already doing or this is also a good time to consider changing a math program that isn’t the best fit for your student. Add any optional language arts materials, and desired electives … and you’ve got a complete curriculum! Flexibility without a year-long commitment.

This package Includes the following. You will already have purchased some of the materials in the first quarter curriculum package.

• History
• Literature
• Language Arts
• Handwriting
• Science
• Mapping and Timeline Activities
• All connected with a daily schedule–what we refer to as an Instructor’s Guide.

NOTE: In the first package, you purchased several materials that can be used for a full year (history spine, handwriting, map and timeline activities). If you continue with additional

quarterly packages, you will not need to purchase these materials again. See additional notes below.

Overview of the Instructor’s Guide

All the lesson plans, activities, notes, and teaching tips you need to teach your child. The Sonlight Instructor’s Guide takes the books included in this curriculum package and turns them into a cohesive curriculum—all of the planning has been done for you! Just open the

guide and go.

The Instructor’s Guide will come as loose, 3-hole punched pages. We recommend placing the guide into a 3-ring binder. If you plan to purchase additional quarterly curriculum packages, we recommend the Sonlight 3” binder so all materials will fit.

Overview of History

A Child’s History of the World continues the discussion of events in Medieval times begun in the first quarter and proceeds to the Age of Discovery.

Overview of Literature

The literature portion of this program includes both Read-Alouds, the books you read aloud to your children, and Readers, the books your children read themselves. Readers are included in the language arts portion of your curriculum.

For Read-Alouds, you will enjoy these favorites:

• Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great

• The School Story

• The Cricket in Times Square

• Captain Nobody 

In Readers, you’ll enjoy several wonderful titles:

• Third Grade Detectives #1

• The Chalk Box Kid

• The Paint Brush Kid

• The Littles

All of these titles offer fascinating and exciting stories that will expand and enhance your students’ understanding of history.

Overview of Language Arts

Features books at a third-grade reading level with controlled vocabulary, multiple illustrations, compelling stories and short chapters to encourage reading. Just follow the guide to teach reading, phonics, spelling, copywork, and creative expression. 

Overview of Handwriting

No matter what your child's motor skill level, they will continue to enjoy daily success using our favorite program, Handwriting Without Tears. Includes the workbook and lined paper from Handwriting Without Tears 3.

Overview of Science

This quarter your students will continue in The Usborne Book of Knowledge, learning about the body as well as animals. They will continue conducting science experiments from the Science Activities Volume 3 book. If you have not already done so, we recommend purchasing the Science Supplies Kit C to minimize your experiment prep time.

The Supplies Kit is a year-long kit that will be referenced in the second, third and fourth quarter curriculum kits, but will only need to be purchased once.

Overview of Mapping & Timeline Activities

You'll continue to use Sonlight's Timeline Book and Markable Map (included in the first quarter package) to incorporate geography naturally into your school day. Students use the Markable Map to make visual connections of how all their history books and Read-Alouds relate geographically. Timeline activities tell you when to add people, events, and dates to your Timeline Book.

These are included only in the first semester package, but are referenced and scheduled in the second, third, and fourth quarter packages. You will not need to purchase them again if you continue on with another quarterly curriculum package of the same level.
