happycc Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Last year of logic stage 8th grade and I feel like I didn;t get to a lot of curriculums/subjects I wanted to cover. Next four years they will be rather loaded with a-g courses with our charter school. I having them wrap up by July Analytical Grammar Grammar of Poetry Derek Owens Physical Science Math in Focus 3 and Art of Argument. Anything I should absolutely have them do before sending them off to high school a-g courses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Academy Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Have they done any study skills work? That might be really useful if they are going from a homeschool setting to a more traditional school setting. My dd has done several things this year in 8th which I think will be very helpful for high school: Great Course - How to be a Superstar Student What Smart Students Know - Adam Robinson The Science of Everyday Thinking - edX and last year she did Learning How to Learn - Coursera A Mind for Numbers - Barbara Oakley 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your daughter audit this course? A course for purchase? Is it the same as "How to be a Superstar Student"? Thanks for the resources!

Chrysalis Academy Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Coursera has free online college-level courses. Some are scheduled, some are self-paced. Here is a link to the course and more info about it and Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn My dd audited the class, in that we did not pay for a certificate of completion. But she participated fully. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
