Science my way using the Handbook of Nature Study and a book about biology and a book of expiriments along with some science kits we already own. Vocabulary From Classical Roots A Critical Thinking book 1 First Start French and learning about careers. I plan to add in some literature-some books from TWTM suggested reading list for the history we are studying,some Sonlight books from the second part of Core 6 and some books that I think dd should read because they will expand her mind (I hope) at least a little.

Mama Lynx Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 The Plan So Far: Latin Prep 2/Lingua Latina Elementary Greek 1/2 Classical Writing Homer B/Diogenes History: Reading, early modern time period Literature: the liad, perhaps the Odyssey, and literature that relates to early modern times. Maybe some Lightning Lit. Science: Bite Size Physics ... other TBD. I'm not big on formal science, but we'll figure something out. Hopefully he'll do Lego League again, too. Math: DH handles this, but I think he's going to use an older Dolciani algebra text for algebra I this year I hope we'll get some computer programming in there, too. Scouts. Draw Squad. Piano lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacalm Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 For coming 7th grader, ds11 (12 in June) for 2008-2009 Pre-Algebra/Life Science block - Regina Coeli Agnus Dei Uses Lial's BCM/Apologia Gen. Science and Holt's texts. He's finishing the Singapore PM series and want to continue with NEM 1. He also uses ALEKS daily. He's math, language arts, Henle and history heavy at the moment. Latin I - RCA Agnus Dei - continue with Henle and Lingua with me Composition - RCA Agnus Dei - progymnasmata Literature - RCA Agnus Dei - Meaning of Myths Vocab - VFCR C K12 World History B - this time I'll add books from SL 7 Looking for a Bible study to round up. He's into scouts and guitar too. Let's see how this goes. I almost put him in private school at the start of the year. Those pesky hormones acting out and threw me off the loop and didn't know how to handle. Completely took me by surprise. My once obedient, no question asked, smiling child got kidnapped!

JennW in SoCal Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 hoping the heavens will open and a science program will appear LOL, Gail! My younger son is finishing up 7th, and this is what we've done: Math: Life of Fred (started the algebra book this spring) Logic: Fallacy Detective, Thinking Toolbox Latin: Latin Prep 1 Literature and History: Nothing formal, really, but we've done quite a bit. We used the Boomerang program from BraveWriter, and also have lots of discussions about everything ds reads -- he is a voracious reader. I assign writing topics, work on spelling and grammar as needed. For history, we mostly focused on Asia this last year, reading mythology and epics from China, Japan and India, looking also at geography and culture. We basically are taking a break from the 4-year cycle for now. Science: Again nothing formal. Nature journals, some reading and note taking from Usborne science encyclopedia. He's taken some field biology courses this last year, and was on a competitive robotics team. He is in weekly theater classes (improv), was cast in 2 musical productions, and sings in the church choir. I'm enjoying this bit of time with him before the formality of high school kicks in. I'm not worried about being able to ramp it up -- I'm half way through high school with his older brother, and feeling like I can handle any and all of it now!

Deanna in TN Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Bible: Kay Arthur Discover 4 Yourself/Plants Grown Up Language: Rod & Staff English 7 Vocabulary: Vocabulary from Classical Roots Literature Analysis: Progeny Press Guides, Teaching the Classics Logic: Thinking Toolbox, Fallacy Detective, Art of Argument Math: Jacobs Algebra Writing: IEW History Based Writing - outside class Science: Either BJU Life Science (at home) or Apologia General Science (outside class) History: Mystery of History 3 He is also into Scouts, Tae Kwon Do, and guitar.
