MorganClassicalPrep Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Since we have established that we are all crazy and like to plan early.... If you've already made a curriculum list, or are in the final stages of making a list, what are you using next year? (I'll come back and add what I'm doing in a little bit, but I wanted to get this up while I was thinking of it! :D ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truebluexf Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Well I know we'll move on to Singapore Math 2 and 4, FLL 2, and WWE 2 & 4 (or my own version of it). Still debating on FLL4 or something more independent. However, knowing now that the next level will be out soon tempts me to stick with it. SOTW1...I think. Toying with MFW ECC, but it might be "too much". I'd like to keep it simple and actually do everything next year. RSO...biology maybe? If we ever finish Earth & Space this year, that is! DS wants chemistry, but I'm not sure DD1 will be ready. We'll see. Maybe LFC A, if DD1 is ready. She'll be a young 2nd grade, so we'll see. Maybe La Clase Divertida 2. AAS and HWOT. I guess I'm still pretty undecided, but I have direction...lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorganClassicalPrep Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 I love reading these lists!!! Okay, for us. Next year will be our first year reporting, so I'm a little nervous. Jenna: (5.5 at the start of the year. Officially kindergarten, unofficially 1st grade) Subjects required by state: English - Literature: We read 30 minutes a day, will continue. Just reading a bunch of good books. Spelling: continuing with AAS Math - will be continuing with Singapore and Miquon. Currently in 1A, will probably be halfway through 1B by the end of this year, so 1B-2A for next year. Science - Elemental Science Biology Social Studies - SOTW 1 Art - Unsure if I'm going to design the program myself or get a prepackaged curriculum. Music - self-designed music appreciation, recorder Health - I'll probably just pick up Abeka's health book for something quick and easy. But we cover "health" everyday. Physical Education - dance, soccer, maybe cheerleading. Extras: French - finish L'Art De Dire, maybe do Le Francais Facile Jr? It'll be mostly repeating information, but could be a good review. DD won't be old enough for any of the other french programs I've found. I'll eventually start L'Art de Lire, but that's for grades 3-up. Spanish - Might do La Clase Divertida. DD is doing really well with French and has expressed a strong interest in learning Spanish also. I'll wait until it's closer to next year and see. We might really focus on French for the first semester, and then start Spanish the second. Logic - finish Lollipop Logic, move on to Primarily Logic. Religion - Thinking about the new program from PHP. It looks like something we'd enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne J Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Next year I'll have: Ds, 3rd grade: Math--Horizons 3 and Math Mammoth Latin--Latin for Children A Composition/Grammar--Classical Writing Aesop A and Composing Sentences (Kilgallon) Spelling--Spelling Workout (determining which level now) Classical Studies--Memoria Press's Famous Men of Greece Literature--Black Ships Before Troy The Wanderings of Odysseus DD, 1st Grade Math--Horizons 1 and Math Mammoth 1 Phonics--OPGTR Composition--WWE 1 Grammar--FLL 1/2 Spellling--Spelling Workout A Literature--Blue and Red Fairy Book, various other fairy tale collections They will do together: Bible--A Bible Study Guide For All Ages *or* the new Olive Branch Books Bible study just published. Science--NOEO Chemistry and GEMS kits Nature journals History--US History I, cobbled together by me, largely literature based, with Mem. Press's new edition of the Guerber US histories for the spine and Homeschool in the Woods' Time Travellers series, History Pockets and various craft books for "fun." Geography--Beautiful Feet's American Geography using Holling C Hollling books. And maybe some random logic workbooks from The Critical Thinking Co.

Dmmetler Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Continuing-- Math-Continue Singapore Reading-Continue Scott Foresman reading series for comprehension practice, plus literature related to history and lots of free reading Handwriting-Copywork and HWOT cursive Latin-Continue LfC/Minimus combo, with LfC B/Minimus Secundus Other-Lab science class, Ballet, cheerleading/tumbling, piano Changing next year- Greek-Hey Andrew, mostly because I don't think DD is ready for GfC yet. Spanish-Spanish for Children. DD's enjoyed Elementary Spanish, but I don't feel like she's learning much new. Science-AIMS just plain didn't work. Too much work for mommy to set up experiments that get downright boring to repeat. We've ended up mostly reading books from the library. I'm looking for a good spine, something like SOTW for Science, where we could read about a subject and then get resources and come up with activities to try together. History-DD wants to do American History. She's enjoyed CHOW and Sonlight for Ancients, but I'm not sure about a lot of the literature selections for Core 3, so I'm thinking I'll use the spine and put together my own booklists. Music-DD is finishing Kindermusik this year, and I want to find some sort of group class to accompany piano lessons since she really likes the group, maybe a good children's choir?

d.g. Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 We already have most of the materials for next year waiting in a plastic tub in our basement. I'm collecting resources as I go, with an eye to what we'll need in the future, especially since our income can fluctuate quite a bit from season to season. The only things I have left to buy are RS C, a telescope, (possibly) a Spanish program, and (also possibly) a typing program. DS6 will be in second grade next year, and he's mostly at grade level with the exception of his reading, which is much higher, and his handwriting, which is a bit behind. Writing - For actual handwriting, we'll continue our homemade copywork with a focus on readability and breaking some bad habits that I doubt we'll eliminate before then :glare:. For the process of writing, we'll continue WWE without the workbook. I might try to find occasional supplements for creative writing, and we also have Writing Strands 2 if needed/wanted. Grammar - We'll continue FLL 2 (we're in FLL 1 now, will prob. finish before year's end) Spelling - We'll be using a homemade spelling progression based on Phonics Pathways. Reading/Phonics - Our reading will be loosely based on WTM recs. with lots of library time. We'll finish Phonics Pathways if needed and choose several family read-alouds (TBD, except for a few neat ebooks I found: Chaucer tales for Children and Spenser for Children!!) Math - We'll finish RightStart B, start RightStart C, and maybe explore some supplemental word problems. History/Social Studies - SOTW 2 with activity guide, Geography for Every Kid, many many extra resources. Science - We'll be doing WTM-style astronomy and earth science plus using Earth Science for Every Kid, Astronomy for Every Kid, and a LOT of other resources. Language - I'm uncertain at this point. I'll be researching Spanish options if our budget allows for it. Art - We'll be using Draw Write Now, but not in any serious way. Other Extras - We'll start actual hands-on kitchen/cooking stuff. (If I don't schedule it in, it won't get done.) I have several kids' cookbooks to work with. We'll also being doing another round through Dave Ramsey's FP Junior set for reinforcement. We might start a formal typing program, if I can find one I like that we can afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Bible/Religion: videos on different world religions and other materials I already own Math: will continue with Dolciani Algebra II Grammar: will continue with Easy Grammar, adding Daily Grams Writing: I'm working on a more intensive outside class for him. Vocab: will continue with Vocabulary for the College Bound Latin: will continue with the Latin Primer/Grammar series, finishing up Primer III and doing Grammar I Spanish: will continue with Barron's Spanish Grammar the Easy Way at home and outside class; currently deciding on a different workbook for the class. Greek: will leave it up to him whether he wants to continue or not, so haven't decided on a program. History: I have a basic list from my last time through Modern World and will be tweaking it for use. Physics: I have a ton of resources and kits; I just need to sit down and put together a plan for using them.

SilverMoon Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) We're not changing up very much for next year. Most of it will be the next level up in the same curricula they're using this year. I'll need to buy the consumable parts for R&S books and FLL 3, and everything for the oldest.
