It's been different for each child, but I gradually build up the written narrations I require and they can take different forms - eg an entry in a science notebook, a straight retelling or perhaps a more creative form such as a poem or a letter etc. For an older student I like them to do some sort of written work each day.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-1356046008801114522015-10-06T07:16:53.838+11:002015-10-06T07:16:53.838+11:00This is a wonderful wrap-up to the year.

Do you require many written narrations, or all they all oral?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681782021483196362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-35404337617085400252015-10-05T14:53:37.263+11:002015-10-05T14:53:37.263+11:00Thanks, Celeste :)Thanks, Celeste :)Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-2760922606640501142015-10-05T11:36:45.332+11:002015-10-05T11:36:45.332+11:00Very good ideas, Carol!

(Well, a lot of steps ahead of me wisdom-wise, but just a step ahead of me with Moozle :)) We are finding your MHLW resources to be a great addition to our science studies this term, so thank you for compiling them!Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-65192145411097190052015-10-02T23:51:34.357+10:002015-10-02T23:51:34.357+10:00You're welcome, Heather.You're welcome, Heather.

I hadn't read the book before myself and her older brother didn't read it until he was older. If time is a problem you could put it aside until you have your next one doing year 4 & read it to both of them; leave it for a few years or even spread it out over a longer period of time so that you can fit it into your schedule & not feel overwhelmed?? The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is another book I wanted to read aloud even though my girl is a very good reader - it has some supernatural & superstitious elements I didn't want her reading on her own.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820925595506920754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-87946349062197351712015-09-30T07:03:54.265+10:002015-09-30T07:03:54.265+10:00Oh and I can't wait to look into that audio Ro...Oh and I can't wait to look into that audio Robinson Crusoe...although I just got a beautiful Scribner copy! :)they call me mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774097239695639582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546783121640385268.post-8964962995733644192015-09-30T07:02:15.010+10:002015-09-30T07:02:15.010+10:00I love this post, Carol! :) I'm struggling wit...I love this post, Carol! :) I'm struggling with Age of Fable for some reason...just the content matter...lovers etc...I know these stories are important to know, but I'm just hesitant for some reason...probably part of my problem is that I should pre-read the selections. Ugh. I find that difficult with a few students! <br /><br />We all LOVE The Story Book of Science, we are just in the beginning chapters...that's interesting that your daughter found connections with MHLW! I can't wait to peek at your Story Book of Science link.<br /><br />My oldest loved The Incredible Journey but HATED Bambi.<br /><br />This is our first term for Plutarch! Overall, my dd is doing pretty well narrating and the Anne White Guides are so helpful! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing what AO 4 looked like for you this go-round! :-) It's so helpful for us behind you!they call me mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09774097239695639582noreply@blogger.com
