momee Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) My son did TOG year 1 - history, geography 1 credit philosophy and bible 1/2 credit each composition, literature - almost as written, a very heavy workload along wih Our Mother Tongue grammar book as review 1 credit Apologia Biology with labs and lab reports 1 credit Oklahoma State University German 1 Online 1 credit Teaching Textbooks Algebra 1 1 credit Drum and guitar lessons and weekly worship participation 1 credit Civil Air Patrol youth group bible study This year was hard in terms of ramping up the work required. His independent study skills are weak and he was frustrated by the amount of self study required to do well. We also had issues with his desire to have things come easily to him as they have in the past. I've tried explaining he's really learning new things in each subject and this is to be expected. We had a tough year but he's grown alot. Edited June 3, 2009 by momee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lllll Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 When I went to pick up my library work, I seemed to have grabbed 16yod's schedule which she just revised, so may as well put it up here. I tell her what subjects must be included and she (& all our dc) arrange their own schedules around preset group times and their own person interests. She hasn't included things like practicing the piano (I heard her playing about 9:30pm last night), individual Bible study, chores, other subjects she does on her own (German, etc.), gardening and other hobbies, etc. She also does a bunch of stuff on weekends. Just not sure what all of it is. I know she gives me math to correct, sometimes, on weekends. And I see her reading a GB or a history bio or eyewitness account, frequently, so the hour for history is misleading. Anyway, this is for Monday - Thursday. Fridays are open for whatever subjects they want to do, focusing on writing longer papers, library work, hobbies, etc. Weekends are also open for the same. Chores are constant and it's up to each of them to work them in around their school. Monday - Thursday 8:30 Greek 9:00 Math 9:30 Logic 10:00 listen to J. Vernon McGee on radio 10:30 run 11:00 Latin 11:30 Math 1:30 listen to John MacArthur on radio & eat lunch 2:00 Science 3:00 History (GB's, etc) 4:00 Bible 4:30 listen to sermon on CD (MacArthur again) 5:00 Rhetoric Sunday Walking with Daddy & sisters Bridge with Daddy & sisters HTH Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) Our 9th grade DS struggles with some mild LD, so we do a LOT of the reading/discussing out loud together; next year we'll cut back on the coursework to really help him focus on study skills and writing. But he worked hard this year and earned the following: 1.0 credit = English - Literature (Lightning Lit. 8) - Grammar (Winston Advanced; Chortling Bard) - Spelling (Megawords; individualized program) - Writing (several short literature responses; several longer papers; weekly timed essay practice) 1.0 credit = Math (Algebra) 1.0 credit = Logic 0.5 credit = Science (Biology) -- 1/2 textbook & labs this year, rest next year 0.5 credit = Science (Anatomy) 0.5 credit = PE (tennis; swim laps) 1.0 credit = Elective ("The Great Books"; covered 8 classic works of literature together) 1.0 credit = History (20th Century World History) - about 300 pages in history textbook - parts of several other history resources - read 6 historical fiction books - every 3 weeks wrote down 20 timeline entries - wrote 4 longer research papers (also counted towards English) Extracurricular: - Public Speaking class (10 ninety-minute classes, plus some prep for presentations) - Student Council Representative for homeschool group (monthly meeting) - tennis team (10 week season with local public high school) - Sunday School assistant (12-15 Sundays out of the year) - Church Youth Group (1 night/week) - 20 hours family volunteer community service (mostly done over the summer) Edited June 3, 2009 by Lori D. added info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs an idea of what is expected of other 9th graders. Thanks so much! For Ds who plans to be an astrophysics major and wants to get as much done in the next two years as he can, then attend college full time under dual credit... His 9th grade of 12 credits Language Arts: grammar & comp 10th grade (1 credit) Math: Algebra 2 & Geometry (1 credit each) Science: Conceptual Chemistry & Conceptual Physics (1 credit each) Latin: (for "fun" as he figures will help in sciences) (1 credit) Consumer Education & Economics (1/2 credit) Lifetime Health (1/2 credit) World History (1 credit) World literature (we are going to mix lit with history and LA) Human Geography (1 credit) Intro to Computers (1/2 credit) Intro to programming (1/2 credit) Physical Education (Kung Fu, bowling league) (1 credit) Science Olympiad (1/4 credit) Math Olympiad (1/4 credit) Boy Scouts (1/4 credit) Piano lessons (1/4 credit) For Dd who plans to major in music and wants to go a bit slower in some areas to focuse more on music. She also wants to attend college full time as a junior/senior... Her 9th grade of 11 1/2 credits: Language Arts: grammar & comp 10th grade (1 credit) Math: Algebra 2 (1 credit) Science: Biology (1 credit) Italian & Sign Language (1 credit each) Consumer Education & Economics (1/2 credit) Lifetime Health (1/2 credit) World History (1 credit) World literature (we are going to mix lit with history and LA) Human Geography (1 credit) Intro to Computers (1/2 credit) Fundamentals of music (1/2 credit) Music Appreciation (1/2 credit) Guitar, clarinet, piano, drum lessons, homeschool band (1 credit) Physical Education (Kung Fu competition/demo team) (1 credit) For science, computer, music they may take them at the jr college... they take placement test next week. The 1/2 credit courses they will either take the whole year, or do a few at a time more quickly. It is up to them. Also we are doing year round schooling (3 semesters of 14 weeks). Many courses they will take the 3 semesters to complete as they want to go a bit slower (history, geography, language arts, literature). Not sure if/how much they get credit for some of the extracurricular activities... figured I would list them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithr Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Wow, thanks everybody! I think he'll be impressed about how much kids do! I gave my older two kids lots of free time and they gravitated to their own thing. My oldest did a lot of stuff with our church and was involved in our teen homeschool group. My oldest son gravitated to lots of music, lessons and performing and studying a lot on his own. This kid, the rising 9th grader, seems to gravitate to watching youtube videos in all his spare time. . . which doesn't make his momma happy! So I'd like him to have a more structured day to get him up and moving and living life, instead of watching it stupidly on youtube!!!!! (Though there are some pretty amazing things on youtube, but really, only so much . . . .) Here's what I have planned so far: Math- Saxon Algebra II Science - K12 High School Earth Science Writing - Learn to Write the Novel Way Latin - an outside Latin class - pretty rigorous History/Literature - Ancients - lots of reading for this Religion - maybe a Bible study -not sure yet He may also have: CLC - church group for boys; meets on Wednesday nights Pilgrims of the Holy Family - kind of like a Catholic Scouts guide we might be doing with a group of boys. Would meet 2x a month with occasional projects at other times. Choir - he says he's interested - 1x a week practice; sing at Sunday Mass Tennis lessons - in the fall and spring, 1x a week Cotillion - this is an etiquette course lots of homeschool high schoolers take around here; teaches manners and dance. 6x a year about. Weight lifting - at local Rec center - couple times a week; he'd do this with his older brother Youth Ministry events at our church, plus the homeschool high school group's events. Thanks again for your lists. I'm going to show his this thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrison_B Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) Next year, my ds and I have tentatively scheduled the following: o (1 Credit) - Geometry using Math w/o Borders or Jacob's o (1 Credit) - World History w/ Geography I (Spielvogel's HO 1/2 book) using 4 Primary Books (Ancients - Middle Ages) o (1.5 Credit) - Prentice Hall's Biology: Exploring Life w/ 20 labs o (1 Credit) - English I - Windows to the World (Literature Analysis) - Warriner's Grammar - Vocabulary to the Classical Roots - Classical Writing (Diogenes - Maxim) - Classical Writing Intermediate Poetry o (1 Credit) - Classics and Compositions (Elective) o (1 Credit) - Traditional Logic I (Fall) Traditional Logic II (Spring) o (1 Credit) - Cambridge Latin I & II o (1/2 Credit) - Fine Art Course (either Music or Art History) o (1/2 Credit) - Intro to Computer Programming (Intro to Alice) (Spring) o (1/2 Credit) - Public Speaking (Great Communicators) (Fall) o (1/2 Credit) - Health (Alpha-Omega LifePacs) o (1 Credit) - PE (Karate, Swim Team, Boy Scouts - Hiking) He is planning to work through some of the courses through the summer (i.e., Health, Traditional Logic I, and Swimming). He is also taking a two week 2D Video Game Camp in the summer, but I decided not to use it as a credited HS course. Some of the above might change because the co-op we belong to has not finalized their schedule yet.

mcconnellboys Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) LOL, well, you can show him what mine did, but I wouldn't ever ask anyone to do that much again. Poor thing, at least he couldn't complain of being bored: Monday 8-9 Algebra II using Videotext 9-10 Do reading/work for Ancient Greece History and Culture course through IU* 10-11 Do reading/work for Greek Mythology course through IU* 11-12 Do reading/work for Geology course through IU* (I went through the study guides before he started the courses and broke the work down into what I thought would represent an hour of work for each day on which he worked on that course.) 12-1 Lunch 1-2 Do reading/work for UK high school level course on family, etc. studies. (1 semester course) 2-3 Do reading/work for UK high school level course on art history. (1 semester course) (Similarly broke down the work for these courses into hour long blocks.) 3-4 Spanish I using BJU (He also did an 8 week outside course using Barron's Spanish Now!) 4-5 Latin II using Latin Grammar/Primer series - last of the primer books (He also did an outside class for the year using Jenney's Latin) Of course, some things cut into these times as he had swimming from 4:30 to 6 that year most days, but he usually finished his work prior to 5, anyway. This included built in "homework", so when he was finished, he was done for the day. Sometimes when he had a big written submission due for one of the college courses he had to work over the weekend to get those ready so we could get them mailed out or sent via email. Swimming in evening Tuesday Similar schedule: Math Ancient Greece Greek Myth Science Lunch Family Studies Began a guitar class during the 2-3 time slot during the third week of school that year. 3-4 Latin 4-5 Grammar and Vocab work Swimming in evening Wednesday Math Ancient Greece Greek Myth Science Lunch Family Studies Art History Spanish Grammar and Vocab Swimming Thursday Math Ancient Greece Coop Day: Theatre Health (Study Skills after the half) Lunch Logic (Political Science after the half) 2-3 Art History Latin Grammar and Vocab Swimming in evening Friday Math Ancient Greece Greek Myth Science Lunch Art History Spanish Grammar and Vocab Extra time to catch up on any reading or written work Swimming Saturday mornings Swimming 9 - 10:30 So that's 5 hours a week of math; 5 hours a week of Greek history; 4 hours a week of Greek Mythology; 4 hours a week of Geology; 3 hours a week of Family Studies; 4 hours a week of Art History; 3 hours a week of Spanish (plus outside class of about 16 hours); 3 hours a week of Latin (plus outside class of about 30 hours); an hour a week of Guitar lessons; 4 hours a week of Grammar and Vocab studies; and daily swimming for the year. He also had an hour a week of health/study skills and logic/political science for 12 weeks each. He did have some homework for these outside classes, as well as his outside language classes, but none of it was time consuming. The Theatre work culminated in a musical performance of a play in the Spring. He did have a speaking part in that, so did have lines to memorize and more time spent in play practice leading up to the performances, but by that time, many of his more time consuming courses were finished. Now, as he finished up the courses, I didn't add more in, so he then had more time to spend on each remaining class. As I recall, he finished up the two high school courses right after returning to school from Christmas vacation, for instance, and I believe he finished up the science course by about February, so he freed up 1-3 hours a day of time to concentrate on other things at that time.
