Chipette's 3rd Grade Trip Around the World

This is a list of what Chipette is using for third grade this year. Our focus is going to be on world geography and along with that a study of the book of Acts.

Main Program (includes geography, crafts, vocabulary): Expedition Earth (world geography) and Beautiful Feet’s Geography ThroughLiterature (United States Geography Update: We are only using Seabird to go with world geography. I'm saving the other books for next year.)

I’m adding in the following to continue with our world geography theme:
You can find my lesson plans under the Curriculum tab or in the tag cloud under Globe Trotting Girls.

Math Programs:
  • Math in Focus 3A and 3B
  • MEP We are only using Math in Focus at this point. While I love MEP, we just couldn't hack two main math programs anymore.
  • Miquon
Math Supplements:
Language Arts Programs:

Science: Apologia’s Zoology 2: Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day along with the JuniorNotebooking Journal Update: Since we added Sassafras Science to our World Geography study, I decided not to do this. We might use it next year, but Chipette is really wanting to use the next Sassafras book, so we will see.

    1. The only thing I'm going to change is I'm not going to use Expedition Earth exactly as she has it set up, but more as an outline of what I want to do. It's just too paper-driven for me and my kids.

      As for how I came up with that schedule see my planning posts under the homeschool tab at the top!
