Did you mean currently? or planning for next year?

 

My oldest will be 7th next year....so this is still in the "thinking" stage...

 

Bible - Bible Study Fellowship - Acts

History/Geog/Lit. - Probably TOG finish yr2 begin yr3

Science - maybe Apologia General

LA - SWO F - grammar undecided (maybe CLE 600)

Math - CLE 600

Spanish - Visual Link

Extras - Chess, Co-op w/P.E. and JV Basketball, etc.

 

When I see all the probably/maybe/undecided... I'm not sure I'm much help! :lol: (Well, maybe it will be helpful to me to see it in black ink and finish deciding soon).

History, Bible & Science -- MFW Expl-1850 (had started it earlier this year, but decided to put it on hold a year)

 

Apologia General Science

 

Saxon Math

 

Foreign Language -- Continue dabbling in French and Latin rather loosely.

 

Language Arts:

-- Continue with Building Spelling Skills from CLP

-- Undecided about the rest, but it's either going to be MFW recommendations (All-in-One Grammar, Writing Strands & Progeny Press), or Abeka or CLE. I'm working on our LA decision right now.

 

Fine Arts:

-- Ballet

-- Music studies in Expl-1850

-- Piano either taught by older sis, or going back to formal lessons if we can afford it

-- Undecided about Art

We'll be using:

 

Math: Saxon

English: Rod & Staff

Greek: Elementary Greek

Latin: Latin Alive (I think)

Writing: Writing Strands, WTM Writing, Killgallon, Exploring Poetry

History/Literature: SL7, Figuratively Speaking

Geography: Map Trek, and I think we're going to work through Evan Moor's new 7 Continent series (the Europe on will be here today, and if I like it, we'll keep with them).

Logic: Critical Thinking Books 1 & 2

Spelling: Sequential Spelling

Vocabulary: Dynamic Literacy

 

My boys get art and some science at a one day a week enrichment program. We'll continue with Judo, piano, and Trampoline & Power Tumbling, but I think we're going to drop Public Speaking for a year or two.
