My Music Appreciation Curriculum
I'm Speaking for LEGO® Education!

Sometimes you just want to abdicate the instruction of certain subjects in your homeschool. One area that seems to trouble me is writing.
How do I adequately evaluate my child's writing?
Am I qualified to teach my daughter how to improve her writing skills?

Music appreciation is kind of "our thing". Being a degreed musician and former elementary music teacher leads me to choose music materials for our homeschool quite carefully. I look for quality music, the opportunity to learn about composers, and a "unit study" approach to music appreciation.
I know, however, that a music appreciation course needs to be easy for the non musical parent.
Enter Zeezok Publishing and their new music appreciation curriculum.

I am a firm believer in children learning keyboarding skills.
In our home we start in second and third grade - the goal being proficiency in typing by the time you hit the middle grades, so mom or dad don't have to type your research papers!
This summer, my youngest (8) is getting much better at his typing, thanks to Typekids, an online typing course for children.
