When learning a new concept or a new language there are key phrases to remember. These key phrases should be repeated, written down, or both. Ideally, they become a learned concept that is fully committed to memory. Like the numbers in Pi or formulas or rules of language, bible verses, simple facts, and dates. In a world where we don’t even know our own phone numbers memorizing the things we use all the time should be a part of your curriculum. There are some things we don’t need to look up.

Letter K
Aiden wants to learn a few different languages. One of which we started this year is Spanish. Although my language skills are pretty limited I hope to help him to learn how to speak it in the next few years. To help him, we’re using keywords and phrases to help get the language started. Things like where is the bathroom? Can I have this? Or what is your name? It just feels more functional to me than conjugating verbs, at least at the beginning.
The letter K is the eleventh letter of the alphabet. Aiden picks kite, kick, and key when he’s asked for a K words.
A K sounds like kay.
Activities and ideas:
- Fly a kite
- Make a kite
- Create a knot bracelet

As a homeschooling mom, I know one of the homeschool essentials is a good-quality printer with cheap ink. Make sure you look at the cost of the ink before you buy. The printer price isn’t the price to worry about. We have an old one we bought about 10 years ago. Totally worth it. It doesn’t even have to have both print cartilages to print.
