Mom0012 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) There isn't much planning involved for me at this point because, fortunately, we've found resources that work well for us, so we pretty much just use the next level of what we've been using already. This is everything I intend to use with my son and daughter next year: Son - 6th grade: R&S Math Saxon Grammar IEW Writing Class and Sentence Composing Wordsmart Vocabulary cd-roms Hands-on Equations Type to Learn EPS Reading Comprehension Books SRA's Spelling Mastery Daughter - 4th grade: CLE Math WWE 4 CLE LA A Reason for Handwriting Piano Possibly CLE Reading For both: SL Core 5 (everything except LA) La Clase Divertida IEW's Poetry Memorization http://www.sheppardsoftware.com for geography review Edited January 26, 2011 by LisaTheresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta look at the convention Piano I'm probably forgetting stuff, but I need to get back to school. We also are in a co-op this year that my kids love...but I'm not sure if I will do it for both semesters since it is mainly just for fun and takes up one full day for 24 weeks....it's hard for me to stay on schedule while we're doing it. This includes things like gym, cooking, art, music and other stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
