Not only does Elizabeth Haughton write her own curriculum for a bunch of different subjects, she also has probably tried/knows about/or owns most of the widely used curricula that exists!
Here are some of the new curricula, materials, prorgrams or workbooks I'll be using and learning about this year:
-Either Saxon Math or Math-U-See (still figuring out which one is better)
-Mind Benders
-Math Minutes
-Dolch crosswords
-Read Naturally
-No Glamor Reading (sounds awful, doesn't it?)
-Super duper games
- Help 2
-Listen to this nouns and verbs
- R.A.N. (Rapid Automatic Naming- this is one of Elizabeth's)
- Sentence expansion
- Building thinking skills
-Culture Lit.
-Sadily Oxford Vocabulary
- Words every (ex: 5th grader) should know
- ARC
- 6 way paragraphs
- Daily oral language
- Visualize/Verbalize
Has anyone had any experience with any of these...?
I'm so excited to be learning about so many different materials- teaching straight academics to typically developing (gifted) kids is going to be quite a change! This experiences is going to make me a much more rounded teacher.
