Another Lynn Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I didn't find one in my search and the one in my favorites is from 2009. Maybe I missed it - but does anyone want to share 6th grade plans? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmamainva Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Most of my 6th grader's subjects are in my signature line. Just add in Spelling Power and various art books from the craft store for art. Then there are the extracurriculars of science club, chess club, public speaking class, and swim team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be doing: Religion: Faith and Life and St. Joseph's Baltimore Catechism Math: Saxon 7/6 English: Sadlier-Oxford for Vocabulary and Composition, but we are also still going to use WWE (since my son enjoys it so much; the S-O stuff might be supplementary or to take a break), Rex Barks for grammar, MCP Word Study; Kolbe's cursive workbook Literature: Kolbe's middle school lit guides; poetry study at Co-op History: we are doing our own thing. Romans (Famous Men); American: Gold Rush, Civil War, Western Expansion Science: Kolbe's Harcourt Science text Geography: Kolbe's Map skills book, Co-op projects Latin: continuing with Latin for Children B Greek: we're just doing a fun intro with Song School Greek Art: art class PE: homeschool group tennis lessons, running class Extracurricular: 4H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcconnellboys Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Here is what I did last year: Bible - Memoria Press Christian Studies III, followed by readings from Bennett's Moral Compass during the last part of the year. Math - Singapore 6; used some Key to.... series books for extra drill work. Son also was in a once weekly outside algebra class using a Brown, Dolciani book. Grammar - Abeka C and oral language lessons. Also worked on some Remedia Publications outlining workbooks during the language arts time block. Spelling - Spelling Workout H, which was really also a word study by this point.... Writing - Writing Strands 3; did writing from the Abeka Grammar, as well. Also did writing assignments from the outlining workbooks and some writing related to history. Worked on several lapbooks this year, for the first time. Literature - we had a literary genres workbook that we used once weekly (he did writing related to this, too), as well as discussing the literary works we were reading aloud during the year. He had time set aside to read alone, too. We alternated Latin/Greek study on one day with Spanish the next. I used Latin Primer II and the Greek Code Cracker. For Spanish, I used Spanish for Children. We alternated geography and logic. He did a Beautiful Feet study (and maps) using a Holling book at the beginning of the school year, then worked out of a couple of geography workbooks the rest of the year. For logic, we covered informal fallacies using Thinking Toolbox and Fallacy Detective. All work was done orally. In the afternoons, we alternated history and science. I put together my own studies for those, using lots of living books. We studied medieval history and earth/space science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpklehm Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) We're finishing up 6th grade with our oldest son. Here is what he did: Math - Singapore 6A & 6B + ALEKS History - Finished a two-year American History study using Joy Hakim's A History of US Science - Apologia's General Science Music - Piano Spanish Class Language Skills: Spelling - Spelling Workout F Vocabulary - Wordly Wise 3 Grammar - Growing with Grammar 6 Online Writing Class (most of the year) Read his choice of books (he's an avid reader) Daily Grams Penmanship practice and Journal a couple times a week each **For penmanship practice, we used the Living Memory book that was posted about here last summer. We found several items that worked well with his history that he practiced his penmanship with, such as The Gettysbury Address and the Bill of Rights. Art (drawing class once a month for three hours) **I wish this was more but it's hard to find around here!** P.E.

Another Lynn Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 Thanks for responses - I'm going to read through again more slowly! Here's what I'm thinking so far: Math: CLE - finish 500 and get through half or more of 600 History: Diana Waring's RRR Literature: Middle Ages list from various sources, Logos Upper Grammar Lit Guides (partial), - also have Logos Poetry Primer and Figuratively Speaking mostly for myself right now. Spelling: SWO E/F Latin: Latin Prep Writing: Probably SWB's Logic Stage Writing Lecture suggestions, though I have plenty of other things on hand (I will not tell how I answered Aubrey's poll :D) Grammar: Either finish CLE LA 500 or jump to "6th grade" in something that doesn't have to be done everyday. Science: probably Rainbow Science, but I kind of want him to do SL 5 Science this year. Bible: BSF's Isaiah - and maybe something else? Art: AO artist study, Artistic Pursuits? Music: AO Composer study, piano lessons PE: Summer swim team, maybe homeschool gym/swim Logic: Art of Argument Competitive Chess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMom2One Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 For 6th grade, we will be doing the following: TOG Mostly at Dialectic Level - History/Geography/Literature/Writing YR 1 U4 Ancient Romans through YR 2 U3 Establishment of 13 colonies. Bible Calvary Chapel Bible study lessons. Here is the link to free lessons online. (I'm very anxious to get this going. I recently found it through a hs forum recommendation.) Grammar We are continuing our EG level 5 that is still in progress. 6th grade grammar is so similar that I see no need to buy another set of books. This is the second time we've stretched one year of grammar over two years, and dd is doing fine. We also do the daily grams. Spelling We use SP and will be at Level G when we start 6th grade. Composition I will be following TOG assignments and will use their Writing Aids instruction book. Math Dd is doing very, very well with TT Math, so we will level up to 7 for sixth grade. We will also supplement with Life of Fred: Decimals & Percents and Life of Fred: Fractions once per week at the recommendation of TWTM. Science Dd is part of a general science co-op in our community that is based on A.C.E. curriculum but supplemented with lots and lots of hands on activities by an amazing science teacher. (We are soooo blessed to have this opportunity and my dd LOVES the class.) Pre-Logic This is new for 6th grade, and I've never studied logic before. The plan is to follow the recommendation of TWTM by using Mind Benders and Fallacy Detectives four times per week. Foreign Language Dd will pick up where we left off with LFC B and complete it during 6th grade. (We started it late and only worked on it 3 x's per week this year, so she is about half-way through the course.) We are also going to begin Power -Glide French 1 this year. Fine Arts I am a art teacher at a Classical Christian school, and also teach a private hs group from my studio on Fridays. My daughter will be in this group for 6th grade. This year's focus will be on technique, but it will also include some art history and attention to the seven design elements. That about sums it up for now. I am in the process of writing a more detailed description of our 6th grade curriculum and studies that will be posted to my blog within a few days.

FlockOfSillies Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Most of mine is in my siggy, but I need to explain/update a little: History is WTM-style with K12's The Human Odyssey as our current spine. Language Arts has settled into Daily Paragraph Editing from Evan-Moor, Sentence Diagramming by Hefty, Ortiz, and Nelson, and Megawords.
