Hi,
I am new to homeschooling. My kids went to public school for the elementary school. What books do you use to teach middle school History and Language Arts, Grammar etc ?thanks

What do you follow in the early elementary ?

Kids DS 8,8 and DD6 are going to school now. But next year I am thinking of homeschooling them. I am trying to gather information at this point. One of the biggest worries about homeschooling at this point is writing. I keep reading that homeschooler kids are weak in their writing compared to kids who goto school. Is that true ?
What is a good curriculum for writing ? Right now, the boys are learning grammar, comprehension, spelling etc at school and I don't see a whole lot of writing going on at school either.
I am a bit scared that I might not be able to do a good job for their language arts. I feel teaching science and Math is easy. Right now in math, they are doing SM 4A/4B and I will just continue with 5a/5b next year .. and maybe introduce them with AOSP etc.
Science, I don't know, maybe get a few science kits ?
I don't know about Geography/social studies either. But the biggest worry for me is the writing and language arts.
What do you guys follow ? Are you kids good writers ?
thanks

Ah.. Thanks for all the replies. DS is 8. He is leaning SM 4A/4B at school this year. From next year I am thinking of homeschooling but that's a different story. He is falling behind and I need to do something about it. I will look into both LOF and MM fractions.
Thanks

My son is doing 4A/4B in SM and he is struggling with fractions. I think he gets it and doesn't get it. Is LOF a better curr for fractions ? Should i supplement with LOF ?
thanks

Thanks, I will check it out.

DS6 is very bad in spelling. I am looking ways to improve his spelling. I thought I can use a software/game that might get him interested in spelling.
Anyone use any ?
thanks

What is WWE 1 ?
An essay a week
in High School and Self-Education Board
Posted
Hi mamas,
My sons are going to grade 8. I am getting their next year's schedule together. Here is what I have so far.
1. AOPS Geometry and Intermediate Algebra
2. Prentice Hall Biology ( is there a better biology program ?)
3. World History ( Early to mid) ( still haven't decided on the books)
4. They are also taking Spanish lessons here locally.
One thing I cannot figure out is LA and writing. They have done NHD this year. So, they wrote process paper. I read a few times on this board about one essay a week programs. I am looking at essay writing, writing scientific papers, book reports - any and every kind of writing. I really want to drill that in this year. So, they can be ready for high school ( and college)
Can you please direct me toward the one essay a week programs ?What is a good one ?
Thanks
