    Please share your 6th AND 7th grade schedule for 2010-2011

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Posted

    Here's our grade 7 time table and schedule. Our school year starts at the beginning of February and finishes at the beginning of December, so we are half way through. My daughter will go to school next year (all my children go to high school)

     

    5:10am - Up and swimming

     

    7:00am - Shower, breakfast, make bed, tidy room

     

    8:15am - Religion Bible reading and Religion for Young Catholics

     

    8:30am - Maths Excel Year 7 (It was Saxon Algebra 1/2, and I have loved the Saxon series, but thought for next year she needs to have covered all the bases that other Year 7's here would have covered)

     

    If she hasn't finished a chapter within the hour, she just stops and continues on from there the next day.

     

    9:30am - Piano Scales and theory

     

    10:00am - English : Galore Park English

    : Jump In - Apologia

    : Wordly Wise - Book 4

    : Spelling (made up from WW or Galore)

    : Grammar - Rod and Staff 6

    : Literature - Lightning Literature 9th Grade

     

    She always does the first four but if she's really interested in her Jump In writing then I leave the grammar and literature for the next day.

     

    11:30am - Science - Education Exploration (I love, love, love this science programme) Science in primary schools in Australia is virtually non-existant, so anything is better than nothing but I still LOVE this. We also read a little bit of Physics - Real Science for kids Level 1

     

    If dd is building a science project we can go a bit longer, but usually next is

     

    11:50am - German - Muzzy DVDs

     

    12:00 - Angelus prayer and lunch

     

    12:45 - History We are focusing on Australian history for this semester and reading various books. I read and she draws.

     

    1:05 - Art - How to Talk to Children About Art - another book that is really good. I think I bought this one in an art gallery somewhere (either here or in London).

     

    1:20 - Poetry - Read 2-3 poems a day by the same poet. Every week the poet changes. This week is Wordsworth.

     

    1:30 - Piano - Play exam pieces. We have broken piano playing into 2 parts so it's not too much in one go of things that she has to do. She plays other favourite pieces throughout the day.

     

    2:00 - Stretching/Ballet - Trying to get some stretches/ballet in while I read a saint's biography to her. Some days it works, others not so well :001_smile:

     

    Others: She has had the last four weeks off swimming while the pool gets repainted over winter, so we have had later mornings - Yay!! However it will be back to normal at the beginning of August.

    She swims four mornings a week and also Saturday morning and three afternoons a week.

    She goes to piano one afternoon a week from 1:00pm

    She goes to ballet two afternoons a week.

    She goes to scouts one evening a week.

     

    She is also the only child that I have at home. My son finished school last year and my other daughter is in year 11, so obviously my time table would be a lot different if I had other children to teach as well.

     

    Oh and I've just ordered a logic book. Hopefully, it will arrive in the next couple of weeks.

     

    HTH and all the best.

    Rod & Staff Grammar done mostly orally.....

    My daughter (11) is working through R&S6 and she answers everything verbally except for diagramming sentences. Her retention rate is very good and if she forgets something we simply go back over that lesson. The lesson we are doing at the moment I find difficult, so this is the third day in a row that we'll be working through it (even though she understood it yesterday).

    Hope that helps,

    Suzanne
