mcconnellboys Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 We do some religion related studies throughout the year. For math, my son is using a Dolciani book to do algebra. I am using Russian Math 6 at home for drill work in pre-algebra related skills. I'm using Vocab for the College Bound and R&S grammar at home, but he's also doing an outside lit/writing class, so I'm going pretty light on the grammar right now. I'm using a mixed bag of things for geography skills. I'm using Elementary Greek and Latin Primer II/III for those langauges. Finishing up Learning Spanish with Children and moving into a Barron's book on Spanish grammar for the rest of the year. I put together my own history/lit and science studies. He does outside music and art classes. I'm using Introductory Logic and hating the revised version of it right now..... (I was hoping it would be better....)

abbeyej Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Math- Geometry (farming this out -- I'm going to do the work too, but I just felt I was beyond my ability to *teach* well last year doing algebra) English- Stewart English (recommended in my 1st ed WTM for grammar) and Lightning Lit "Early to Mid 19th Century British" for fall and "Early to Mid 19th Century American" for spring. The reading here is proving to be our most challenging work this year, though I would be disappointed in the writing assignments if I were trying to use this for high school (as it's marketed). History- Basically following WTM Logic Stage recommendations here. Using the DK Definitive Visual History, the NG Almanac of World History, and 4 of the Hakim History of US books and some additional reading (mostly from the WTM 7 list). Outlining and summarizing, timeline, etc... Also reading Famous Men of Modern Times. Latin- farming this out too. Greek - Athenaze 1 (suspect we won't quite finish this year) Science- Galore Park "So You Really Want to Learn Science 2" and experiments from the Thames and Kosmos middle school science kit Smaller subjects: Christian Studies (from Memoria Press), reading The Annotated Mona Lisa, doing a "Mapping the World with Art" group once a week, running as a family 3+ times a week, ballet 3x a week, Boy Scouts...

AngieW in Texas Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Oak Meadow 6th grade history - ancient and medieval times Oak Meadow 6th grade English - coordinates with history Math-U-See Prealgebra - still waiting for this to arrive Spelling Power level G along with words misspelled in her writing Art of Construction and Engineering the City - wanted a fun science for this year guitar lessons must do 30 minutes of free reading every day - just finished Uglies and started Pretties today I also do a readaloud almost every day. OM lists suggested supplemental readings, but I've been using other books. I read aloud McCaughrean's Gilgamesh the Hero while we were studying Mesopotamia and am reading Tales of Ancient Egypt for several weeks while we study Egypt, Israel, and Persia. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, my dd works on her history/English project(s). I get her a stack of library books and have url links set aside for her to look at to do the research she needs for her projects. She also works on free writing for about 30 minutes each on Tuesdays and Thursdays. She's working on a couple of different stories right now and this gives her guaranteed time to work on them. I wanted to use Lial's BCM with my dd, but it was far too visually distracting for her to deal with. I really wanted to have her do Kinetic Books Prealgebra, but she won't have anything to do with computer-based math programs. I'm hoping that MUS Prealgebra will work out for her. It has all the elements she needs - black print on white paper with NO color, plenty of white space, and systematic review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osmosis Mom Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 (edited) OK, so far these are my thoughts: Math: Saxon 87 and LoF Pre-Algebra with biology English: GWG 7, Megawords, LL 7, need to decide on writing and vocabulary and possibly another grammar program Logic: Critical Thinking 1 OR Orbiting with Logic Science: Story of Science, Aristotle and possibly McHenry's Brain (looks like it might interest him). He also does programming on his own Arabic and Danish: Different materials. Danish is mostly inclusion PE:Seasonal sports, swimming History: ?? He told me he doesn't like history which makes sense since he doesn't like to read too much. Suggestions welcome, *please*. I'd also be interested in a pure geography course, but not Trail to...as we didn't like those. He did like to draw maps actually. He was interested in learning either Italian or German. I'd be able to help with German and at one point looked into what K12 had to offer. Any suggestions? For art then he is obviously not interested and it isn't getting done at home. If finances allow, then I'll send him to a local artist in the spring who is fabulous with older ds (who has talent and interest). He'd be more interested in technical drawing actually. For music, then he is supposed to be learning how to play the fife for his Fife and Drum Corpse. Again, it might take him *a while* to get the hang of it (he just gave up on learning to play the drum). So, this is a very technical kid with little interests and limited talents for some of the other things. Since he is so different from me, then I find it hard to challenge him and keep him on track.

Abbey, I was looking at The Argument Builder, but am assuming it is too Christian for us to use, right? Anything else like it out there? Also, with your history resources from WTM-book, how do you plan on doing your history specifically? I had picked this same era from the book for ds, but I feel a bit lost as to whether this would work for him and how to make him digest it easily. I'd like your input. I spoke to him last night and he seemed to be willing to put in more effort than last year, so I am hoping he won't give me too much of a fight this year...

He does Ages of Empires. Horrible Histories -would that be on Youtube? With regular documentaries, then he tends to get bored. Anything with the computer and he is interested. As an example, then he is not a reader, but has quite a vocabulary from the computer and looking up synonyms. He is definitely learning in a different way from me.

History: BJU DVD World Studies Science: BJU DVD Life Science Grammar/Writing: BJU DVD English 7 (am trying to decide if we'll keep this or go back to R&S; dd & I like how it covers more ground in a shorter amount of time.) Literature: BJU DVD Lit 7 (start after Christmas) Latin: finishing LFC & Latin Prep I; start Latin Alive after Christmas Spanish: Madrigals Spanish PE: daily walk or bike ride; swim team 3-4 X wk Music: violin & piano Would love to do logic, but there just are not enough hours in the day! My dd's day is already long with the DVD's, but they are teaching her to pay attention & take notes from a lecture. And for the first time ever, I am not spending all my time planning!!!!!!!!
