swimmermom3 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Didn't we have a 6th grade schedule thread? Can anyone point me in the right direction? My search didn't yield what I was looking for; however, camping with 6 kids may have fried my brain.:tongue_smilie: Thanks, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claire up north Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 our 6th grade plans: Science - Sonlight Science 5 (biology) Math - NEM 1 & A Beka's Basic Mathematics History - Sonlight 6 (Finishing up ancients & middle ages) Spanish - Espanol para Ninos y Grandes Geography - focusing on Europe (no specific curriculum; we just fill in maps) Music - beginning piano Grammar - Analytical Grammar, Season 1 Logic - Critical Thinking, Book 1 Spelling - Sequential Spelling 2 Writing - as assigned Reading - tons of it I think that's about it, though I do have a few fun topics that I plan to cover. We're going to do some intentional movie watching--mostly "classics," tho I am also partial to Star Trek reruns. :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlockOfSillies Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I just updated my siggy with our schedule for 2009-2010. My rising 6th grader will also be doing Logic Liftoff, Orbiting with Logic, and any other books I can find for her. We'll also be doing Bible reading, and per the suggestions of others on this board, I'll be having her keep a Memory Work page that she'll need to review regularly. PE will be soccer in the fall, probably softball in the spring, or horseback riding lessons. She'll also be doing scouts again (American Heritage Girls). Art usually consists of ceramics classes at the local art center. She takes piano lessons, and I'm going to try The Story of the Orchestra this year as well.
