Anybody doing the encyclopedic knowledege program?

[Nikita]

I have a book case full of old and relatively new school text books for geography, history, science etc that I picked up cheaply at op-shops (secondhand shops) and garage sales.  Good for kids to use at school for projects/assignments, but also good for encyclopaedic knowledge info.
I also collect old national geographic and australian geographic magazines... great pictures and maps.

It will also help them in school when they're learning various subjects. Like right now I'm teaching Gabriel about states (geography), insects (science), presidents (social studies, history or government), U.S. and world animals (science), space (science), landmarks (social studies or geography, maybe even history), and dinosaurs (science, maybe history). When he learns about thiese in school, he will already know some important things. Learning will be easier.
I read something somewhere about a grown-up who's mother did encyclopedic knowledge when he was young. He found himself remembering all kinds of facts that he didn't remember ever learning.

nhockaday,

Did you do all the 10 magnitudes with Gabriel? Could you tell me a little bit about how you followed the program and if you used LR for it? 

Thanks!

I found a bunch of flash cards with facts already on the back of them. I have been using those according to Doman's rules. I have downloaded some of the EK-like LR files, but I just show them like normal.

[Joha]

Where did you find the ones with the facts? So have you been doing the magnitudes?

[nhockaday]

I bought them at Target last year. I have 8 sets. Yes, I do the program along Doman's lines. I believe we are in the 7th magnitude, as Doman would call it.

I'm sorry to bother you so much, but I just want to make sure I understand  So you show your son 5 categories with 10 BITS 15 times. When you are done with those 15 times, so you start with 5 new categories or do you stat with the second magnitude? Do I make sense? 

Do you know if they still sell those cards at Target? If they do, what are the sets called there?

Thanks for all your help!

[nhockaday]

No. I show 8 sets of cards 3 times a day. I retire one card from every category every day. When I am done going through all the cards (there are many 30-50), I start again, but with a new fact from every card. They do not have those cards at Target anymore. It was a special thing they had last summer.

[Joha]

How many cards does each set have?  Could you give me the name of the cards to see if I can find them somewhere else?  Thanks again!

[nhockaday]

they each have about 36-50. they were made by target, so no one else sells them.

[Joha]

I'm sorry I didn't explain myself well. I meant, how many cards does each set has of the sets you show your son? You said you show 8 sets 3 times a day.

[nhockaday]

I show 8 sets of cards with 3 cards from each set, 3 times a day.

[Joha]

Ok, I see! Thanks again for working here with me and all my detailed questions 

[Joha]

One last thing. Could you give me the name of the flash cards to see if I can find them? Thanks!

[nhockaday]

As I said above, they were exclusive to target so you can't buy them anywhere else. And I threw the boxes away a long time ago.

[Joha]

I was looking at target's website and they have a lot of flash cards that you can order online, so that is why I was asking. Thanks anyways!
