3 SYLLABUS SKILLS TO BE DEVELOPED: Improved reading, listening, and comprehension. Effective note-taking. Confident oral presentations. Clear writing and increased vocabulary in the field. Effective test-taking. COURSE PLAN METHODOLOGY: has worked diligently to create the best possible course plans with the home schooling family in mind. Remember, however, that our program is intended to be flexible. Per the principle of subsidiarity, these course plans are a suggested course of study. As the teacher, you should adapt and modify them to meet the individual learning needs of your child. Do not feel obligated to follow these course plans exactly. In the course plans that follow, Our Life in the Church is represented by the abbreviation and St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism # is represented by SJBC. Each weekly assignment is summarized in the first line of the week s daily course plan. The specific daily assignments are outlined in the following lines indicated by the,,, and abbreviations. Parent daily guidelines are given to the right of the student assignments. The quarterly schedule is set up such that one lesson, investigation or test can be done on a fiveday schedule. Although most of course plans are set up for a four-day week, the mathematics courses at this level do benefit from a five-day week schedule. This can be altered if the student would like to double up on an assignment or test on the final day of their week. A family s schedule can and should vary as needed. A weekly grade book is included at the end of the week s course plan as a convenience. Parents should use the grade book only as a help to their homeschooling and not as a hindrance. It includes a cumulative list of written assignments from the week s course plan as well as space for additional assignments, if needed. Kolbe Academy does not require that you keep record of all student work. If you intend to report your student s work to for an official record, only one sample of written and graded work is required per quarter per course along with the signed and filled out report card. The weighting suggestion in the end of quarter grade book is there for convenience and may be modified as the parent deems fit. Please consult the welcome packet for a full tutorial on using the grade book. This course contains 6 weeks broken into four 9-week quarters. Week 8 is a lighter week, and usually includes a few days for review. You should use the review days as time to catch up if necessary and then go over the subject matter. If you intend to use the tests provided, look them over before teaching the subjects and make sure you review the material in the tests throughout the quarter. Finally, begin every class with a prayer. This is a good way to help the child memorize new prayers. Repeat the same ones every day until they are known. Be sure to explain the meanings of the prayers. Repetition in all areas of study is most beneficial. Our Life in the Church
