Curriculum Packages

A Note from Sarah Bennett, Developer:

“These HCOS Curriculum Packages are

designed to give you everything you need

to cover your grade level while enjoying

the benefits of homeschooling together.

I’ve chosen a variety of materials to allow

you to experience some of the best

resources available for homeschoolers.

You’ll love some of

them, and you’ll hate others – and that’s

Ok. I hope your first year of using the

packages will help you to learn what

works for your student and what you’ll

need to approach differently the next

year.

Most of the resources I’ve chosen are

very explicit. They include instruction and

assignments. Some of the resources do

not. There are a few ways to approach a

resource that does not include specific

assignments. You can

discuss the book with your child (and be

sure to mention the discussion in your

weekly email so that your teacher knows

the topic was covered), you can choose to

do a project or some additional research,

or you can take a look at the Learning

Outcomes page (under Family Resources

on the HCOS website) for assignment

ideas. Your teacher will also be able to

give you ideas.

Spelling: You’ll notice that we don’t

include a spelling program in the

package. There are too many differences

between the spelling programs to

recommend one that will work for the

majority of kids. When choosing a

spelling program you’ll need to think

about whether your child is a more

natural speller – in which case an

independent program that is more

workbook based would probably be a

great fit, or whether your child needs

more interactive instruction in order to

learn to spell. I highly recommend the All

About Spelling program for students who

need more explicit instruction and for all

younger learners. It’s a hands-on

approach that teaches the phonograms

and the rules of spelling. For students who

pick up new words easily I recommend

Spelling Workout or

Building Spelling Skills.”

SPELLING All About Spelling Interactive Kit (purchase once

for all levels), $49.95

Level 1: $49.95 Level 2 - 7: $65.00 each Spelling Workout (order by

grade), 20.95 each Building Spelling Skills by

Evan-Moor (order by grade):

$25.95 each

FINE ARTS

”Students can choose between dance,

drama, music or visual arts to cover their

fine arts. If you choose to do visual arts

at home, I highly recommend the Artistic

Pursuits program. It teaches art using

well known pieces as examples of

different art concepts. Each lesson has a

hands-on component and these projects

use a wide variety of art materials. The

materials list is in the book and materials

can be purchased at your local craft store

(Michael’s, etc.)” -Sarah Bennett,

Developer Artistic Pursuits, $59.95 each Gr. K - 3 Book One (An Introduction to

Visual Arts) Book Two (Stories of Artists and

Their Art) Book Three (Modern Painting &

Sculpture)

Gr. 4 - 6 Book One (Elements of Art and

Composition) Book Two (Colour & Composition) Junior High Book One (Elements of Art and

Composition) Book Two (Colour & Composition)

Senior High Book One (Elements of Art and

Composition)

Book Two (Colour & Composition)

MATH OPTIONS “Any of the following three choices in

math should meet the needs of most

homeschoolers, and are closely

aligned with the BC Prescribed

Learning Outcomes. Use Decadice

or Radical Math to meet outcomes in

statistics and probability when you

choose Singapore or RightStart.” –

Sarah Bennett, Developer

SNAP MATH: Can be

used as a supplement to any of these math programs, and are a good review of BC curriculum expectations.
