dragons in the flower bed Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) What are your 4th grade curriculum plans?? Or, what did you use last year for 4th grade? We started 4th grade July 1st with . . . Mathematics - Life of Fred + Living Math Composition - Writing With Ease (dictation yr 3, narration yr 4) Classics - Lively Latin 2, Elementary Greek 1 Music - Pianimals Book D Memory Work - selections from Living Memory, Science Verse, and religious sources Grammar - The Language Mechanic History - Story of the World 2-3 (half of 2 last year, half of 3 this year, I think) Geography - the Americas through crafts and living books Logic - Art of Argument Religion - Paganism: An Introduction by Higginbothams Science - Real Science 4 Kids Chemistry Level II Visual Arts - Artistic Pursuits 4-6 Book One Literature - Timeless Themes (nonsectarian Bible) and Sutcliff's Homer + Spiral Scouts and cycling It looks like a lot, but everything above the line break is done daily, and everything below it is scheduled for just once a week. So the kiddo's days are still pretty short. Edited July 10, 2009 by dragons in the flower bed I keep forgetting whole subject areas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do “history club†with two other families once a week to do the activities from the guide. It’s great to rotate preparation with 2 other moms as we all have different skills. Each family does the mapwork and reading (SOTW and literature suggestions) on their own. South African living books program in parallel to SOTW (we do this in the weeks when progress on SOTW3 is held up – the drawback on doing it with others). Geography: Discovering the World of Geography Working through the “Planet Earth†book by Farndon et. Al. This is a lovely book with two-page spreads on each topic followed by neat activities. Science: We’ve do an eclectic mix of Singapore My Pals are Here Science, Sonlight Discover and Do DVD’s and reading through various books as thre is interest in a subject. Logic: Steck-Vaughn Critical Thinking level C Religion and Character study: Finished reading through Vos’s Children’s Story Bible. Now reading stories from other religions. Music We do a “composer of the monthâ€. http://www.classicsforkids.com is a great resource. Violin lessons Art “Artist of the monthâ€. I print out paintings from http://www.artchive.com and put them on the wall. We read books about the artist. Pottery lessons PE Horse riding Homeschool netball Dd does math, violin practice and religious study daily, and the rest of the subjects follow a rotating schedule.

Ali in OR Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I know I need to update my signature with this year's stuff. And I know if I actually type it out it will be an overwhelming list that seems like way too much! Sigh. Here's what I've got on hand and hope to use: Math: Singapore 4A/4B/CWP 4 and supplement with Horizons 4A/4B Science: finish informal geology then REAL Science Life History: Biblioplan America and the World 1850-2000 with SOTW 4 Grammar: R&S 4 Spelling: finish R&S 4, go on to R&S 5 Writing: Writing Tales II. May also get WWE 3 workbook when it comes out. Latin: Latin for Children B Spanish: Spanish for Children A (from lesson 13 to end of book) Bible: Voyages 4th grade Geography: I have a couple of workbooks Art: Artists from 1850-2000 using Discovering Great Artists and Great American Artists plus library books. Music: Piano lessons, study composers from 1850-2000 as part of Biblioplan. PE: outside activities--gymnastics, swimming, softball, maybe ballet. Also have Mavis Beacon typing, want to do some poetry memorization and recitation, do a little Teaching the Classics style discussion on books read, etc. Not enough time in the day! Anyway, we begin our incredibly slow ramp up to a full schedule on Monday. Maybe just history to start! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvonne Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Judo Mom, I noticed that you're switching from LfC A to Latin Prep 1. If you don't mind saying, why did you decide to switch from the LfC series to Latin Prep? Also, I noticed you're moving from WWE to Imitations in Writing Aesop. I'm thinking of doing WWE 4 with my rising 4th graders, but I haven't been able to actually look at the level 4 yet. Why are you switching from WWE?

Greta Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 ...if anyone has ANY input to offer, I'm all ears. My dd is not exceptionally strong in Language Arts, so this amount may seem too light. But I'm trying to ease into more structure/rigor in that area. And what isn't obvious from the way I've written the plans here is the amount of narration she'll be doing, as well as copywork and dictation, which I think will be tremendously beneficial. MATH -- RightStart, finish Level D, then Level E LATIN -- Latin Prep, finish book 1 (Galore Park) ENGLISH -- Junior English book 3 (Galore Park) ART/MUSIC APPRECIATION -- Ambleside Online LITERATURE/POETRY -- Ambleside Online HISTORY -- Story of the World, finish Vol 2 and start Vol 3, with corresponding readings from Our Island Story and This Country of Ours, with a few biographies sprinkled in. GEOGRAPHY -- Continent Study and mapwork associated with History readings. CLASSICAL STUDIES -- this year, focused on Rome: Famous Men of Rome, The Story of the Romans SCIENCE/NATURE STUDY -- Nature Study ongoing, done pretty informally. Science for first term will be a study of the periodic table. Haven't planned out the other terms yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
