Recommended Posts

Here are my plans:

Analytical Grammar

Phonetic Zoo

IEW

Did I leave off anything?

 

This is what we're doing:

 

Sonlight Core 7 (includes Bible[i've also included the catechism], literature, history, poetry, and a little creative writing)

Latin Prep I by Galore Park

Saxon Algebra I

Apologia General Science

Also takes a Lit. class at a local co-op which also involves writing

Guitar

Taekwondo

 

Are you going to incorporate Latin and Logic? I have never heard of Phonetic Zoo. What is that like?

Rod and Staff grade 7 math

Rod and Staff Grade 7 English

Jamestown Literature program-intermediate level-chapter books and nonfiction (not sure of the exact name of this program since I don't have it yet)

Story of the World Volume 2,Usborne History Encyclopedia and Greanleaf Press's Famous Men of the Middle Ages and Famous Men of the Renaissance.

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.

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.

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

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!

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!
