Do you offer any PDFs? Yes, while teacher guides are in spiral bound handbook only, we do provide Miss Maggie's original FREE Reading Schedules under Program 3: Individual Study.
When will more teacher guides be available? OFE.org is a free service to homeschool parents, coops, cottage, private, and public schools. As God grants our family time, more lesson plans will be made available, however we cannot fulfill personal requests. Our expected publication dates are as follows (subject to change):
Record keeping
Parents are responsible for their own record keeping, however a space for record keeping is provided in each Teaching Guide.
Parental involvement
Our program provides a peaceful morning schedule from 9:00 to 12:00. If you are using our day-by-day lesson plans, no additional prep time is required. Parents are involved and enjoy reading living books and listening to narrations with their children in Programs 1 and 2, plus guide or assign independent work in Program 3 (as determined by you and your child's growth). Involvement is easy and enjoyable!
Teaching method
We believe method is best determined by you and according to the needs of your child. Generally, our lesson plans can be described Charlotte Mason-Inspired. We encourage the use of a Recitation Notebook for repetition which aids in memory work. We incorporate many Charlotte Mason and Old-Fashioned methods into our lesson handbooks. You can learn about our method here.
Family together schedule
First, we group several subjects into each program of study. You will not study every subject every day, but instead the subjects are spread throughout the week. Next, we made programs 1 and 2 family together with grade-level assignments. Do 3 lessons per day (1 per program) for a complete curriculum. See how it works.
our booklists
Old Fashioned Education utilizes many wonderful living books and textbooks from the 1800-1900's which have the great advantage of not being dumbed down, not containing political propaganda, and are in the FREE domain. We selected many books from Miss Maggie's original source (plus lots of others through extensive research) to create a family together program of study to share as a free resource from my family to yours.
All Booklists are carefully selected to meet the following criteria:
*Please note! Our teacher guides are printed commercially which is more affordable than home printing. We receive a small commission which helps to off-set costs to run this website. A few book selections are available in only one format. |
