COURSE PLAN METHODOLOGY: Kolbe Academy 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 these course plans to meet the individual learning needs of your child. Do not feel obligated to follow these course plans exactly. Founders of Freedom is represented by the abbreviation FOF. Each weekly assignment is summarized in the first rows of the week’s daily course plan along with the goals and notes for that week. The specific daily assignments for the student are outlined in the following lines indicated by the DAY 1, DAY 2, DAY 3, and DAY 4 abbreviations. Parent daily guidelines are given to the left of the student assignments. Most families will use Days 1-4 as a Monday through Thursday schooling schedule. This leaves Friday open for review, catch-up, field trips, or other activities. 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. It includes a cumulative list of written assignments from the week’s course plan with point values given as a suggestion. Space for additional assignments, if needed, is included. Kolbe Academy does not require that you keep record of all student work. If you intend to report your child’s work to Kolbe Academy for an official report card, only one sample of written and graded work is required per quarter for each course along with a report card submission. Parents should use the grade book only as a help to their home schooling and not as hindrance. Point values and weighting are suggested for convenience and may be modified, dropped completely, or added to as the parent deems fit. Please consult the welcome packet for a full tutorial on using the grade book. This history course contains 36 weeks broken into four 9-week quarters. Week 8 is considered a review week and week 9 is dedicated strictly to examination. Your student may not need all of Week 8 for review. You can use this 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 teach the material in the tests. Some children have a difficult time doing written exams, but it is important for them to learn how to take them. If your fourth grader does poorly on them, give them to him orally a couple of days after he has taken them and average the grades. 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.
