kailuamom Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 After using Calvert for 2 years (chosen because of an overactive toddler, a cross-country move and one stressed out mama), I am contemplating putting things together on my own again. If some of you could share your plans for 8th grade, I would greatly appreciate it. It is easier to put together stuff for the other kids because I have btdt, but 8th grade is more difficult, and the content so important at that age! I think I can do it...but could use some help. :) Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 We are just finishing up eighth grade (still have two chapters each of algebra and physics) but I thought you might like to see what we've done: Discovering Algebra (Key Curriculum Press) and a workbook/puzzle book on cryptography. Conceptual Physics with workbook and assorted labs taken from here, there, and everywhere. Muse magazine articles every month, mostly on science. Science museum exhibits: Darwin, Leonardo da Vinci, and Aliens. Beginning Spanish using old textbook and conversation with me. Didn't get very far; ramping it up next year. History of US through the Civil War and Reconstruction, with related books: Witch Hunt (Salem witchcraft trials) and The Crucible; biographies of Madison, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet Beecher Stowe; chapters from Lies My History Teacher Told Me and That's Not in My American History Book; primary sources taken from internet, particularly on slavery and Civil War; A Kid's Guide to the American Bill of Rights; Gone With the Wind DVD (for its apologetic bias). Short readings related to history, such as poetry of Whitman, short stories by Poe, Emily Dickinson, etc. Also lots and lots and lots of science fiction/fantasy reading, undirected but discussed extensively. For some reason my child adores writing various alternative versions of book reports, from re-writing main events as newspaper articles to comic strip versions to alternative endings. I just let her go at it. PBS series The Story of English. Volleyball in the fall; riding and jumping horses, working at the stables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

at the beach Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 8th grade plans and, even at this late date, plans are always potentially changeable: :D History/Lit/Composition: Humanities I RCA (Church History & World Lit) Math: Undecided. :eek: She's taking AoPS Intro to Algebra this summer. Not sure where we'll go after, whether another Algebra or Geometry or what. Will wait until end of summer to see what we think. AoPS online classes might be too much during the school year w/re: to time commitment. Science: Oh, no! Another undecided. :tongue_smilie: Either Physical Science with RCA or Apologia Biology (probably with MODG syllabus) Foreign Language: Latin 2 Henle RCA & OSU German 1 Other: Vocabulary for the College Bound Student, another year of grammar review but not sure with what, SAT Question of the Day, Draw Squad, art/music appreciation CM style, and religion but unsure what we'll be using. Extracurriculars: Dance, piano and/or violin I think that's it. No logic next year because she's doing two foreign languages. She may be taking most of her classes online. Not sure how I feel about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
