There&#8217;s no need to use a different curriculum for each child in those departments.

It was fun watching my kids expand in this area through the year. By doing some creative activities they&#8217;d never tried before, they not only gained new skills, but also became braver about tackling other creative challenges.\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Teaches deeper level thinking skills<\/h3>\n<p>The high caliber thinking skill puzzles and books were what first attracted us to Timberdoodle some thirty years ago, so I was especially happy to see items from this category included in the 3rd grade kit.

The 3rd grade kit includes curriculum for language arts, math, thinking skills, history &#038; social studies, and science, plus lots of art and STEM activities, as well. Get out of your homeschooling rut! As long you follow the lesson plans provided with this kit, your kids will never feel like they&#8217;re doing the same-old-same-old every day.<br \/>\n<strong> <\/strong><br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4679.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Famous Figures 1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4679.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4679.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4679.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4679.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4679.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4679.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4678.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Timberdoodle 3rd Grade curriculum - Famous Figures 2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-23237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4678.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4678.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4678.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4678.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4678.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.flandersfamily.info\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMG_4678.jpg?w=3870&amp;ssl=1 3870w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Things I didn&#8217;t like about this kit:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>A lot of it is consumable<\/h3>\n<p>There were several work-book type products in the 3rd grade kit, a fact that admittedly bothers me more than my children. Having homeschooled so many for so many years, I usually try to pick curriculum I can reuse from one student to the next. I will have to replace several components in the 3rd grade kit before I can use it again.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>Some went unused (for now)<\/h3>\n<p>There were SO MANY components &#8212; especially in the Elite kit &#8212; that we simply couldn&#8217;t get to them all. However, they are great products, so I&#8217;m scheduling time this summer to go through a couple of the ones that didn&#8217;t get enough attention during the school year, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/timberdoodle.com\/products\/typing-instructor-for-kids-gold-pc?utm_source=flanders_family&amp;utm_medium=BRT&amp;utm_campaign=3rd_grade_kit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Typing Instructor<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/timberdoodle.com\/products\/beginning-word-roots-grades-3-4?utm_source=flanders_family&#038;utm_medium=BRT&#038;utm_campaign=3rd_grade_kit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Beginning Word Roots<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/timberdoodle.com\/products\/scratch-coding-cards?utm_source=flanders_family&#038;utm_medium=BRT&#038;utm_campaign=3rd_grade_kit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Scratch Coding Cards<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>It&#8217;s short on &#8220;Living Books&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>I felt a little overwhelmed by the <a href=\"https:\/\/timberdoodle.com\/products\/mosdos-press-literature-opal-3rd-grade?utm_source=flanders_family&#038;utm_medium=BRT&#038;utm_campaign=3rd_grade_kit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Mosdos Literature<\/a> program and ended up defaulting to reading an eclectic assortment of the &#8220;living books&#8221; we&#8217;d enjoyed when our older children were growing up (and counting that for our literature studies). If you are a mom who worries about educational gaps or obsesses about crossing all your Ts, then Mosdos Literature may be a great fit for your family.

When we take notes in longhand instead of typing them on a keyboard, we not only retain the information longer, but also understand it better. It also helps with reversals and with reluctant readers. So I&#8217;m glad Timberdoodle still includes <a href=\"https:\/\/timberdoodle.com\/products\/a-reason-for-writing-transition?utm_source=flanders_family&#038;utm_medium=BRT&#038;utm_campaign=3rd_grade_kit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">A Reason for Writing: Transition<\/a> with their 3rd grade boxed curriculum, and glad, too, that my kids have been gung-ho to learn it.<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3>How helpful the handbook was<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/timberdoodle.com\/products\/2021-curriculum-handbook-3rd-grade?utm_source=flanders_family&amp;utm_medium=BRT&amp;utm_campaign=3rd_grade_kit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">3rd grade handbook<\/a> that accompanies the 3rd grade is a life-saver. It contains a detailed description of each component and how to use it, plus a weekly checklist to keep you on track, and even suggestions for steps to take if you start to feel overwhelmed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Give Timberdoodle a Try<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in a complete boxed curriculum, by all means, check out the ones Timberdoodle offers. Although I&#8217;ve only tried the 3rd grade kit, we own and have used and enjoyed many of the components of the kits for other grade levels, too. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not ready to jump in feet first, then you may want to invest in a couple of the stand-alone products to enrich your children&#8217;s education (whether you homeschool or not).
