funschooler5 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) This is what I have (tentatively) planned so far for this year: Grammar: Growing with Grammar 7 Writing: Wordsmith Spelling: Spelling Power Math: Teaching Textbooks 7, Life of Fred Fractions, & Life of Fred Decimals History: Story of the World 3 (she'll be doing this along with her brother, but also adding in Kingfisher History, The Human Odyssey, and other supplemental reading) Science: Singapore MPH (yes, this is techinically for 5th-6th grade, but she'll be doing this with her brother also) Logic: The Art of Argument Latin: Lively Latin (we're still finishing up book 1) Art: Artistic Pursuits Music: Continuing 3rd year of flute lessons A few subjects are at a lower level than what she could be doing, because it's so much easier to combine subjects. She does do a lot of outside reading in different subjects (history and science especially) so I'm not too worried that she's missing out. Edited June 22, 2010 by funschooler5 Forgot music and art!

Night Elf Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I may not be a good candidate for comparison. I start with a classical schedule in mind, and end up falling back to traditional methods. Also, I outsource subjects because dd12 must have some classroom time. (7 years of really bad time without social opportunities, and last year was her best year because she took outside classes so I'm definitely not changing that) Grammar: Growing with Grammar 6 (will move to 7 when she finishes up) Writing: Writing assignments she gets from History; Creative Writing course outside home Vocabulary: Vocabulary from Classical Roots A Litarature: WTM reading selections for 6th grade; middle-school Literature course outside home Math: Math-U-See Algebra, with Saxon Algebra 1/2 as a backup plan History: K12's part 1 American History (5th grade history, hoping it will be okay for her grade level if we do the more challenging assignments my son skipped when he was doing the program at a younger age) Science: focus on Biology in a course outside the home Logic: Mind Benders, and thinking of Critical Thinking Book 1 Latin: Due to multiple failed attempts, I decided to leave any foreign language out of our homeschool program until it's needed in high school Music: continue piano lessons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I have waaay too much stuff. I think it's this board's fault! I need to sit down over the summer and see if/how I can actually make it all work! Things with question marks are things I'm strongly considering but haven't 100% decided on. Wherever it says dd1 or dd2, only one twin will be using/doing that, otherwise they're together. We're just finishing up 6th grade and starting summer term... Regular school year doesn't start till Sept. You people who are starting now scare me!! :tongue_smilie: For Summer term, we're mostly continuing with math and German - one kid's doing LOF PreAlg/Bio, the other wants to tackle AoPS Number Theory (at least part of it), and they're both doing a German grammar book and we continue with history and we're finishing up some loose ends in a couple of other things. Then in the fall: History K12 Human Odyssey, The World in Ancient Times, Story of Science, Little History of the World (outline/German), Map Skills Science CPO Earth Science, Carbon Chemistry, Science Club for Girls (outside, free weekly classs)? Literature LL8 (partial), LLfLOTR (partial, when fits with history), Figuratively Speaking, Book Club? Writing Essay Voyage, Lost Tools of Writing? Poetry World of Poetry (MCT), Keepers of the Flame, Memorization Grammar Practice Voyage, Sentence Composing for Middle School, Editor in Chief Vocabulary Caesar’s English II, Word Roots Math Lial’s BCM (dd1), Discovering Mathematics 1a/b (dd2), Math Detective, Patty Paper Geometry? Math Club (dd2, outside, free class)? Logic/Philosophy Philosophy for Kids, Critical Thinking I, Grid Perplexors Art/Art History Outside class(es), Story of Art Music Violin, Orchestra (dd1), Piano (dd2) German Sat. School, Little History of the World (combined w/ History) Spanish Breaking the Barrier II, Juegos y actividades III, Rosa y Ernesto/Cajas de Cartón, Practice Makes Perfect, Show Time Spanish Latin (dd1) Latin Prep I Programming/Engineering (dd2) Snake Wrangling for Kids, Robotics Club, Electronics kit, Thames & Kosmos kit PE/Performing Arts Ballet (dd1), Skating (dd2) Yeah, and this doesn't include the montly Engineering classes I'm considering through a local homeschooling group, or the Economics unit I'd just love to throw in, or the musical two of my kids will most likely do. :blink: And did I mention I have another kid too???

mcconnellboys Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Here's what I'm planning: Grammar: Rod and Staff Writing: Using Rod and Staff; also some writing assignments related to geography, history, etc. Spelling: I'm beginning Vocab for the College Bound and may work on spelling of those words.... Math: He's beginning his second year in a small group using a Dolciani algebra book. I'm using Russian Math 6 at home for drill work. History: Story of the World 3, also adding in Kingfisher History, other history encyclopedias and tons of other supplemental reading. Science: I'm putting together my own stuff and he's supposed to also do a weekly small group with an organic chem professor I know from UK..... Logic: Introductory Logic Latin: finishing up Latin Primer II and beginning Latin Primer III; also doing Elementary Greek and Barron's Spanish grammar (has a once weekly outside Spanish class with a native speaker). Art: He's going to continue an outside art class and I have some art appreciation stuff to do with him at home. He also does some reading about artists, etc. in association with his history studies. Music: Continuing piano lessons (I think we're going into about year 5). I have some music appreciation stuff at home, too..... I also have him doing a mish-mash of things for Bible this year, as well as some geography studies. Reading/lit will be tied to the history period under study. I'm using a variety of things for lit study. He's doing an outside lit class, too...... I'm not sure yet what I'm doing for PE..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke King Arthur is part of history but with half the questions and several of the projects (1 day per week). Writing is a mix of MCT and whatever else. I am a stickler for copywork/dictation and I really like it mixed with lit analysis ala Brave Writer-style. LToW is here and I have listened to the first CD, but am currently buried deep in Geometry with the older kids. Hence the Patty Paper Geometry. My dh is reading the directions for PPG while the rest of the family, myself included do the constructions during dessert - at least in theory. We start on that tonight.:tongue_smilie: I am still waiting for my copy of Don Quixote in Spanish which I foolishly agreed to read with someone on this board and I am now 4 chapters behind.

jpklehm Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hi Stephanie, No, we haven't started using it yet. I heard about it here and then found them at Amazon (both A and B) very inexpensively. I also found the student and teacher guides cheaply, as well. But no, we haven't started using them yet. I like the content, by what I've seen so far. I just want to make sure they are thorough enough, which is why I started another thread about combining K12's Human Odyssey and History Odyssey. I may still do this...

We own Rosetta Stone Spanish 1-5 but I am not sure if it is the best choice right now. I am looking into the Educacion Espanola videos & workbook on Discovery Education. She will participate in cheerleading, soccer, and Girl Scouts outside of normal school hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
