deeinfl Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I am pretty much set on what I will be using with my soon to be second grader, but still am unsure of my 8th grader. Please share what you will be using. Thank you and Blessings, Dee in FL ps It took me a while to figure out the boards had completely changed and were over here. I wonder if I was the only one, or if others are still searching as well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaLisa Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have a dd who is officially registered as an 8th grader this year because of a summer birthday, but many of her classes will count for high school. Here is her current year: Bible: Old Testament, using primarily Greenleaf Guide to the OT; devotional material from church; memory work Math: Saxon Alg. II Science: Apologia Physical Science (with 7th grade ds); Science Roots (prep for biology next year) Latin: Latin I through Florida Virtual School English: Ancient lit list; Vocabulary for Enjoyment (Amsco); Calvert Spelling; IEW SWI-C and CC; Shakespeare Class Logic: Intro to Logic, Nance and Wilson History: Ancient history using primarily Speilvogel Health: Total Health Debate: NCFCA Debate Team and class That's pretty much all of her academic work. She has some separate reading that doesn't correlate with ancient history and various extracurricular activities. HTH, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendra, my guy is not an academic guy either, and your line-up looks like it will fit his personality well. Okay, let me go and make my list. Blessings, Dee ps does anyone know what a larvae on these boards are? I'm the ditz who just doesn't get it? I mean, I know what larvae is, but what does it mean on these new boards...and am I the only one who misses the older boards. I know, I'm resistant to change. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
