It has been years since I have posted on the forums! My last child is going to be in 8th grade starting June 1st. He will be the only one still homeschooling as my oldest graduates this year and the middle is at private school.
He will be doing:
Math: Algebra 1 with a private tutor Maybe Jacobs? Maybe AoPS? I am still deciding if I think he can handle the AoPS
History: I have basically created a shelf of books that go from Ancient to Modern History. I expect him to start with Ancient and then just read through at his own pace finishing by 11th but possibly as early as 10th. After that he will dual enroll
Literature: I am mixing this in with his history. This year he will do Progeny Press Literature guides, but that will likely change as he gets older
Writing: This is the one thing I am not sure about. He asked to do Cover Story. I am going to have to work on making it more rigorous, but I want him to be excited about writing, and this program has potential for that. I will have him do Easy Grammar as a grammar review. He doesn't really need a full on grammar program at this point.
Science: Novare Physical Science. Because of how his year falls, he will probably also make a start on Earth Science.
Electives:
Robotics with EV3. My brother is zooming this class with him
Spanish with a private tutor
Logic. I already owned the Jason Lisle one and its pretty basic, but does the job. I am back and forth about even messing with it this year, but I think we will try and see how it goes
Over all I am pretty happy with this and even happier to be on the homestretch of homeschooling!
