2019 NR Grade 5 Kit Items

Why We Wrote These Guides for You We are often asked about the documentation included in our Curriculum Kits, and with good reason. You know that your curriculum handbook will set the tone for the year and you want to make sure it will be a good fit for your family. With that in mind, we wanted our curriculum handbook to be extremely simple, easy to use, and promote independent study as early as possible. Our guides are designed to get you up and running—today—without being overwhelming, boring, or confusing. So What Exactly Do You Get And What Does It Look Like? Each Curriculum Kit comes with its very own Curriculum Handbook; a soft-cover, 8.5" x 8.5" manual, easy for you to reference as needed without being cumbersome or overwhelming. New this year, you'll find a reading challenge in every grade level. It is made to allow you to choose what challenge level will work for you - Light Reader, Avid Reader, Committed Reader, or Obsessed Reader - all of the information is included in the handbook. Handbook length varies depending on the grade. For instance, the PreK Handbook contains a 36-week science course supplement, so it is significantly longer than the 7th Grade Handbook with no supplemental additions. If You're Purchasing A Guide This guide comes completely free with its respective curriculum kit. However, at your insistence, we've made them available for purchase as well. Please note that due to the proprietary nature of these books, they are non-returnable. (If you have any questions about the contents, please don't hesitate to contact us to inquire before you purchase this non-returnable item!) Each handbook you purchase comes with access to our custom scheduling site. Simple Is Better We really believe that, so your guide is as simple as we could make it. First up are the annual planner and weekly checklists, the absolute backbones of Timberdoodle's Curriculum Kits. More on those in a moment. Next up are short bios of each item in your kit, ideal for refreshing your memory on why each is included or to show Dad exactly what your fifth-grader will be covering this year. We've also thrown in our tips or tricks to make this year more awesome for all of you. Finally, we'll conclude with favorite articles and tidbits amassed in our 30+ years of homeschool experience. Annual Schedule Planning Now back to the most important part: schedules. Included with your handbook purchase will be access to the Timberdoodle Scheduler site, which will allow you to customize your schedule the way you want it. You can do things such as customizing your start date and number of weeks, including building in vacation weeks; add or remove items or alternating courses; adding custom courses; printing recommended checklists; adding lesson numbers; and choosing which courses you want to do on which days. You can also easily add in a second student or teacher. If your schedule changes mid-year, no problem, you can add things in or adjust it when you need to, and can print it in large font for the little ones to see so they can be more involved. Even pre-readers usually love crossing things off their list, and this takes you away from micromanaging your students while encouraging them to be responsible for their own work. In our experience a weekly checklist is the perfect blend of enough structure to finish in a timely fashion and enough freedom that your adventures won't make for stressful catch-up days. You’ll also find a standard paper copy in your handbook. How We Used Checklists In our own family we had a family night every Friday, but only those with their lists done were welcome to be a part. I think each child had to have at least one week where the realization would sink in that it is Friday, and no schoolwork has been done yet. After doing math while everyone else was having fun, time-budgeting became a much more relevant concept! And, of course, learning to be an independent learner is an invaluable lesson in itself! More Manuals Are Included Of course, you'll also find all the necessary teachers' manuals and program-specific resources you need included in each Homeschool Curriculum Kit. Our curriculum handbook is not meant as a substitute for those manuals, but rather as a helpful summary and planning guide to get you up and running.

101 Doodle Definitions When your child needs to master unfamiliar words, hours of tedious memorization is not the only way. With 101 Doodle Definitions, your student will discover that by drawing a picture to remind him of a word, his brain will more readily remember the word’s meaning. This groundbreaking mnemonic approach to learning and remembering word meanings covers 101 of the most-used words on standardized tests. Using clear and concise definitions and prompts on how to draw a picture that accompanies each word, 101 Doodle Definitions is an amazingly clever book to teach vocabulary to children. But that is only the beginning. Once your child has completed 101 doodles, he will know how to make his own unique doodle for any other unfamiliar word he encounters. 101 Doodle Definitions is fun. The words are hard. The drawing cues are spot on. Features Illustrator: Deborah Zemke Publisher: Blue Apple Books ISBN: 9781609050672 Publication date: 07/12/2011 Pages: 96 Product dimensions: 7.30(w) x 9.40(h) x 0.60(d) Age Range: 10 Years Grade Level: 5th-6th Faith-Based: No review by Oaxacaborn ”Drawing cements the meaning into the memory nearly twice as effectively as writing does, so kids who utilize this method will be left with vocabulary they understand, and remember.” Read the Review review by Cummins Life ”It is easy to use and it doesn't take a ton of time to learn new words. It's also fun.” Read the Review review by So Every Day ”It’s been a lot of fun, a very tiny time commitment, and paying great rewards for such a small burst – and the words are all right there ready for me each week.” Read the Review

Mosdos Press Coral Coral’s integrated literature and language arts study for fifth grade includes selections by Cynthia Rylant, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Isaac Asimov, and well-known poets Shel Silverstein and Edna St. Vincent Millay. In the Coral textbook, the curriculum encourages thinking about important themes. There are over 600 pages of prose, poetry, plays, and nonfiction narratives to challenge the mind of the fifth-grade reader. The Coral set consists of the Student Reader, Student Activity Workbook, and two-part Teacher’s Edition. The extra student pack includes only the Student Reader and the Student Activity Workbook. Coral includes: 26 short stories 39 poems 9 nonfiction essays 2 plays A complete novel Brief author biographies About Mosdos Literature Literature cannot be neutral but will clash or harmonize with your family’s values. Mosdos Literature is a complete literature program that does not glamorize evil nor present subject matter that is not age-appropriate. It never portrays a cynical disregard for positive values as normal, but it reinforces the universal ideals of courage, honesty, loyalty, and compassion. Nearly 2 decades ago, Mosdos Press launched a unique literature series that would teach all necessary language arts skills through a curriculum that promotes traditional values. Readings are from both classic and contemporary works that are wholesome and stress caring for others and a concern for the natural world. Student Reader Mosdos Literature begins with the Student Reader, which is beautifully illustrated using many full-color photographs, color drawings, and black-and-white pictures. From the beginning, Mosdos committed to collecting for the Student Readers only the most engaging, morally rich, and intellectually challenging selections of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, the novella, and for the older grades, novels. There is an introduction to every story in the Student Reader and an explanation of some facet of literature. That literary focus can include defining character, theme, internal and external conflicts, setting, climax, foreshadowing, and more. This academic component is developed and illuminated through the stories. Vocabulary words that might be unfamiliar are presented in boxes on the pages where the word first appears in the account. The stories are followed not just by the classic review questions designed to assess reading comprehension but also by more complex questions that require thoughtful analysis. Every unit concludes with activities such as writing a short skit, doing a craft, or memorizing a poem. Pick the ones that best suit your child; there are far too many to do them all. Student Activity Workbook Next is the consumable and engaging Student Activity Workbook that works to expand the value of the Mosdos curriculum. For nearly every story in the Student Reader, the Student Activity Workbook contains corresponding vocabulary, creative writing, or comprehension questions. It also provides extended reinforcement of the literary elements being taught. These assignments help you evaluate areas of progress in your child and concepts that might require additional work. The literature, vocabulary, and writing components all tie together, giving your child a chance to truly understand what was taught by approaching it in various ways. Student Activity Workbooks vary by grade levels. There are more word games and puzzles for vocabulary practice, activities that focus on various language arts skills, and brief composition work for younger grades. In older grades, the puzzles and games gradually decrease while the number of writing assignments increases. Teacher’s Edition Each Teacher’s Edition is detailed and well-organized. The Teacher’s Edition will make lively discussions with your child possible through great commentary plus questions and answers. Homeschooling parents will appreciate that Mosdos Press did not assume any level of expertise or teaching degree when preparing their Teacher Editions. So whether new or experienced, anyone can teach literature. Each page of the Student Reader is duplicated at a smaller size in the Teacher’s Edition, still abundantly easy to read. Information is arranged in the ample margins around these replicated pages, discussing the literary components found in each story with clear, concise explanations. Of course, the Teacher’s Guide also includes the answers for the Student Activity Workbook. This makes teaching a lot easier for every homeschool parent. Mosdos Press is the ideal literature curriculum for any family who wants an excellent academic program that encourages wholesome values without any religious content. The thought-provoking selections are colorful and engaging, and while not religious, they still reflect good principles. Features Download PDF Student Edition Sample.

Math-U-See Epsilon is typically a good fit for a student entering fifth grade; to find the Math-U-See level that best fits your child you can try the placement test here. Math-U-See Epsilon In previous lessons, students have learned basic operations with whole numbers. Epsilon covers these same operations with fractions. Fractions are presented intuitively with visual explanations of equivalent fractions, common denominators, and fractions and numbers larger than one. Fractions and operations are illustrated using Math-U-See Fraction Overlay manipulatives. About Math-U-See Curriculum For more than 20 years, Math-U-See's renowned mastery-based, multi-sensory, student-paced program has been the answer for countless families. Math-U-See is a comprehensive K-12 math curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach the concepts. If you regularly experience tears from your child whenever new mathematical topics are introduced, you need Math-U-See's systematic, precept-upon-precept math program. This manipulative-based curriculum ensures your children will be able to fully understand each mathematical concept before moving on to another one. Math-U-See is mastery-oriented, clear, to the point, and compelling with simple, uncluttered pages. In Math-U-See, new ideas are introduced step by step logically. At the same time, concepts that have been mastered are reviewed periodically. The lessons are short, and there are many opportunities for multi-sensory experiences using videos and manipulatives. Math-U-See books are organized into levels, not grades, so students can proceed at their own pace as they master concepts. This is particularly helpful for the child that is not performing at grade level but would rather not have that be a daily reminder. Student workbooks are softcover, and the pages are perforated and punched so they can be removed, completed, and placed in binders if you choose. Occasional fun exercises, like dot-to-dots and crossword puzzles, have been incorporated into the student workbooks. Student workbook pages are consumable, so each child will need their own copy. Instruction manuals include complete answer keys with solutions for all problems. This is more a necessity at the upper levels than the lower ones. The Math-U-See Manipulatives are more than a supplement. They are an integral part of the curriculum. Used from the Primer through Algebra 1 levels, the manipulatives build each concept from place value through polynomials through Integer Blocks, Fraction Overlays, and Algebra/Decimal Inserts. Math-U-See does require a fair amount of parental involvement, especially in the younger grades. They have bent over backwards to make the lesson planning as painless as possible. But to get the most out of Math-U-See, parents should be prepared to plan and not start the lessons unprepared. Math-U-See's teacher guide and supplemental DVD will teach you, the parent, more than just how to solve a math problem. They also show why the problem is solved in this manner and when to apply the concept. Each lesson is demonstrated on the DVDs with such kind-hearted enthusiasm. I now understand why children line up at homeschool conferences to give the instructor, Steve Demme, a hug. DVDs can be played on a DVD player or computer; however, Windows 10 users will need to download a separate video player. Math-U-See is laid out with step-by-step procedures for introducing, practicing, mastering, and reviewing concepts. How do you know when your child has 'mastered' a math concept? Not just when he gets the answers right but when he can teach the concept back to you, especially if he can do so with a word problem. Math-U-See will show you how. So, if you want to give your child a rock-solid mathematical foundation, if your child is shaky on the basics, or just looking for a no-frills, common-sense program, you will be pleased with Math-U-See. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Is Taught In The Epsilon Level?Major Concepts and Skills Include: Recognizing and generating equivalent fractions Understanding addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions and mixed numbers Fluently adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions and mixed numbers Additional concepts and skills: Using multiple strategies to recognize common factor Understanding grouping symbols and their effect on order of operations Interpreting and solving word problems Comparing and converting decimal fractions Finding the area and circumference of circles Classifying quadrilaterals Representing fractions and fractional measurements on line plots and number lines Using coordinates to represent ordered relationships --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In What Order Do I Use the Math-U-See Levels?There are seven books for elementary grades which can be used in the following order: Primer, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta. These first seven books are followed by Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, PreCalculus with Trigonometry, and Calculus. Placement tests for the different levels are available here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How Do I Choose Which Curriculum Set I Need?Epsilon Universal SetThe Math-U-See Epsilon Universal Set includes everything a new customer needs to be successful with Math-U-See Epsilon. The Instruction Pack, Student Pack, Fraction Overlays, and the Epsilon Digital Pack are conveniently bundled so customers can be certain they have all of the items they need.Epsilon Level Up SetThe Epsilon Level Up Set is geared toward families who already have the required Fraction Overlays. If you are looking for a complete set, minus the required Fraction Overlays this is what you want. In addition to the Instruction Pack and Student Pack, the Epsilon Level Up Set also includes the Epsilon Digital Pack with access to streaming instruction videos, instructional PDFs, and all the other online resources for the Epsilon level in one convenient location.Epsilon Student PackThis is the right choice for families who have more than one student in the Epsilon level and who need a second workbook, or for families who have previously used Epsilon for one student and already own both the Fraction Overlays and the Instruction Pack. The Student Pack includes solely the student workbook and the test booklet; the Digital Pack is not included. You must have the Instruction Pack to utilize Math-U-See effectively. If you do not already own the Instruction Pack, you should purchase the Universal Set or Level Up set, not the Student Pack. Features View a sample lesson for Math-U-See Epsilon.

Math-U-See is laid out with step-by-step procedures for introducing, practicing, mastering, and reviewing concepts. How do you know when your child has 'mastered' a math concept? Not just when he gets the answers right but when he can teach the concept back to you, especially if he can do so with a word problem. 
 
Math-U-See will show you how. So, if you want to give your child a rock-solid mathematical foundation, if your child is shaky on the basics, or just looking for a no-frills, common-sense program, you will be pleased with Math-U-See.

These first seven books are followed by Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, PreCalculus with Trigonometry, and Calculus. Placement tests for the different levels are available <a href="https://timberdoodle.mathusee.com/" target="new">here</a>. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How Do I Choose Which Curriculum Set I Need? Epsilon Universal Set The Math-U-See Epsilon Universal Set includes everything a new customer needs to be successful with Math-U-See Epsilon. The Instruction Pack, Student Pack, Fraction Overlays, and the Epsilon Digital Pack are conveniently bundled so customers can be certain they have all of the items they need. Epsilon Level Up Set The Epsilon Level Up Set is geared toward families who already have the required Fraction Overlays. If you are looking for a complete set, minus the required Fraction Overlays this is what you want. In addition to the Instruction Pack and Student Pack, the Epsilon Level Up Set also includes the Epsilon Digital Pack with access to streaming instruction videos, instructional PDFs, and all the other online resources for the Epsilon level in one convenient location. Epsilon Student Pack This is the right choice for families who have more than one student in the Epsilon level and who need a second workbook, or for families who have previously used Epsilon for one student and already own both the Fraction Overlays and the Instruction Pack. The Student Pack includes solely the student workbook and the test booklet; the Digital Pack is not included. You must have the Instruction Pack to utilize Math-U-See effectively. If you do not already own the Instruction Pack, you should purchase the Universal Set or Level Up set, not the Student Pack.

Increase Your Knowledge by Drawing Most adults can probably do a rough sketch of Texas, Florida, and California. But unless you or a loved one lives in Iowa or West Virginia, you may be at a loss if asked to sketch those states. Draw the USA will give your child an opportunity you probably didn’t have while significantly increasing his knowledge of the United States. Learn in Small, Incremental Steps With small, incremental steps, your student will work through the USA, drawing each state as it connects to its neighbors until he can draw it all from memory. Students will especially appreciate the author’s brief helpful comments. Statements such as “Appropriately, Louisiana (LA) is shaped like a thick L” give your students a hook to hang their memory on. Draw the USA is a fun, easy way for your child to learn the states so that he can connect them to weather, history, and current events. Non-consumable. From the Publisher:Drawing a map, like reading, or algebra, is a difficult skill to learn and if one sets an 8-year-old down with a map of the US and says "draw this," the child will be as overwhelmed as if he were confronted with reading Shakespeare before he could read The Cat in the Hat, and will quickly abandon it. Sure, a child could understand and appreciate the story of Hamlet as well as read a map at the age of 8, but if you ask her to READ Hamlet or DRAW a map, that is another story. The intellect of a child far outpaces her skills and if you ask too much too soon from her skills you can forever extinguish a desire for more.I simply want to introduce children to geography by giving them a primer in the borders and locations of states, provinces and countries. By doing so I hope to invite them further into the beautifully complicated world of geography. Are these drawings cartoons? Absolutely they are, and in the best sense of that word. The word "cartoon" originated in the Middle ages and meant what we would today call a "sketch," something that the artist drew as he thought out, or prepared to draw his masterpiece. By engaging students in drawing "cartoon" maps I hope to give them enough self-confidence to someday give the real thing a try. Geography is essential to a child’s education. And basic to that study is a simple outline of states, countries and continents. In Draw the USA I have tried to give students an easy introduction to committing the map of the USA to memory.

USA ScrunchMap Wall maps are great unless you want access to them in another room. Portable maps are convenient until you need to put them away and face the complex origami of the traditional map. Now you have both convenience and portability with a ScrunchMap. Is there any easier way to fold a map than to scrunch it up into a ball and stuff it in a fist-sized bag? Printed on water- and tear-resistant material, ScrunchMaps are as kid-proof as you can get. So take your ScrunchMap out to the treehouse, down to the beach, up the mountain, and across the country; this map is designed to be tested. Very detailed with gorgeous colors, ScrunchMap is portable, practical, measures 36 x 24 inches, and can be used in any weather! Stuff one in your purse, backpack, desk drawer, or jacket pocket; ScrunchMap comes with its own drawstring bag. Features Manufacturer: ScrunchMap Size: 24 x 36 inches Faith-Based: No review by Joyful Wife Life ”Having maps on the wall isn't an option for us with the limited space we have. Paper maps are also not an option because I don't have time to fold the maps properly.” Read the Review review by Laura Noelle ”ScrunchMap offers a unique experience with tangible, touchable, scrunchable maps.” Read the Review

This set, Part 1, includes books 1-5. Note: Written for a mainstream audience, A History of Us does contain some bits of evolutionary supposition and the like.

Still, we encourage parents to often dialogue with their students and, if possible, read or skim ahead of them.

About Real Science-4-Kids Building Blocks of Science Kids ask real science questions. Building Blocks of Science enables them to discover real science answers. Because science disciplines are so interlaced, learning one subject requires a foundational understanding of another. Building Blocks of Science addresses this by introducing students to the five core scientific disciplines of chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. With Building Blocks of Science, students learn science in a sequential and logical order, beginning with fundamental building blocks of science and expanding on these as they advance in grade level. Hands-on experiments for each chapter encourage critical thinking, experimentation, and creativity. Exploring the Building Blocks of Science is a year-long program for grades 1-7, covering all five core disciplines. It's based on a spiral teaching method where subjects are repeatedly visited and built upon over months and across grades. This has proven to lead to better long-term mastery of facts and concepts. Building Blocks of Science is written to accommodate both secular and Christian homeschoolers. The publisher, Real Science-4-Kids, has received several awards, including the Practical Homeschooling Reader Awards. The study bundles contain a student textbook, teacher's manual, laboratory notebook, printable lesson plans, quizzes, and a study notebook. See our optional lab kit here.

Mixed By Me - Holographic Thinking Putty Kit

Building Blocks of Science 5 Laboratory Notebook The Building Blocks Laboratory Notebook includes the 5 core science subjects (chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy) integrated into one softcover notebook. The Laboratory Notebook is meant to accompany the Building Blocks Student Textbook and Building Blocks Teacher’s Manual for one year of study. There are (22) experiments in each Laboratory Notebook that align with the chapters in the Student Textbook. There are also (22) optional “Just for Fun” experiments. Students perform their own investigations and record their data directly in the Lab Notebook. About Real Science-4-Kids Building Blocks of Science Kids ask real science questions. Building Blocks of Science enables them to discover real science answers. Because science disciplines are so interlaced, to learn one subject requires a foundational understanding of another. Building Blocks of Science addresses this by introducing students to the five core scientific disciplines of chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. With Building Blocks of Science, students learn science in a sequential and logical order, beginning with basic building blocks of science and expanding on these as they advance in grade level. Hands-on experiments for each chapter encourage critical thinking, experimentation, and creativity. Exploring the Building Blocks of Science is a year-long graded program for grades 1-7 covering all five core disciplines each year. It’s based on an upward-spiral teaching method where disciplines are repeatedly visited and built upon over months and across grades, which is proven to lead to better long-term mastery of facts and concepts. Building Blocks of Science is written to accommodate both secular and Christian homeschoolers. The publisher, Real Science-4-Kids, has received several awards, including the Practical Homeschooling Reader Awards. The study bundles contain a student textbook, teacher’s manual, and laboratory notebook, as well as printable lesson plans, quizzes, and a study notebook. What Topics are Covered in Book 5? Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 5 Student Textbook has 22 chapters and gives students an in-depth look at the atomic model and periodic table, chemical bonding, how to define living organisms, biological cells, viruses, bacteria, force, energy, and work, plate tectonics, volcanoes and earthquakes, Earth's layers, the Moon and the Sun, terrestrial and Jovian planets, and much more. Students begin open inquiry with suggested questions found in the Teacher’s Manual, which also has directions for guiding the experiments. The Laboratory Notebook contains 22 experiments that explore topics covered in the Student Text. Experiments include modeling molecules, identifying chemical reactions, observing the effects of enzymes on starch, preparing agar plates and testing for bacteria, exploring gravitational potential energy, understanding the concept of work, observing the environment, testing minerals, modeling plate tectonics, observing constellations, modeling lunar and solar eclipses, and much more. Each book has 4 chapters of each of the 5 core science subjects (chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy) and an introductory and a concluding chapter, for a total of 22 chapters.
