Mom-ninja. Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 For something similar for middle school or late grammar, you might want to look at Science Detective (they have two levels, for grades 3-4 and 5-6). The Biozone books reminded me a bit of a high-school level Science Detective. Science Detective from Critical Thinking Co? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's our plan for the first year of 5th grade ever: Reading: Reading lists in WTM as well as from history, classics sprinkled in. Start literary analysis per WTM recommendations Writing: R&S English to cover grammar and writing WTM recommendations for 5th grade (narrations, outlining) Spelling: finish AAS Level 6, go onto 7 Latin: First Form Latin I Math: Math Mammoth 5/6 Logic: Mindbenders, Logic Liftoff Science: Elemental Science: Logic Stage Biology History: History Odyssey: Ancients Level 2 Music: piano lessons Art: projects found on internet Memory work: AWANA, CC memory work at home: history timeline and science songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristiana Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) I start to hyperventilate when I think that my ds will be 5th grade in the fall. So I'm still working on getting that under control! I feel the same way! I've been lurking on this board for a while, thinking some day I'll really appreciate all these posts. You know, some day, when I have a child in the logic stage. And then I realized--we're here! And I'm not ready for this! I have made some plans though: Math: Singapore 5A/B, LoF fractions and decimals eventually Language Arts: MCT Town level, WWE (we're still in WWE3), Sequential Spelling, thinking about adding in IEW Latin: First Form Latin History: SOTW with WTM logic stage rec's Geography: Maptrek maps with history, finish Beautiful Feet's Geography through Literature (we only did two books of the four this year) Science: ES Physics until December, then probably ES Logic stage Biology starting in January Logic: Mind Benders, Sudoku Literature: We read tons, but I probably should start something a little more formal.

I forgot to subscribe to this thread, so I am just seeing this now. Which one is better? I still haven't decided. I want to use the set theory material from the MSM 1970's one, but the Accelerated approach 1980's one has a really good section on word problems and does get into more advanced skills that wouldn't usually be covered until algebra. I am actually starting a list of all the topics in each and looking to see where they overlap. I will pick one to use as the main text, but I will definitely supplement from the other. I'll let you know how I decide to do it when I finish my comparison list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemykids Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) I have changed as well. We are going to do AO year 3 with all of the children combined. I will mix in other books/activities according to age. Math is still up in the air, as is grammar (she's doing a workbook now). SL 5 will have to wait for next year; when we do it in its entirety. The rest will stay the same, I believe. Thankfully this is not my VSL dd, so she adapts well to anything we do (except in math). Last year, we took a break from all the Bible studies...:glare: Next year we plan to start those again. Whoops, how could I forget? We are doing MCT grammar right now (here and there), and will continue this year. She has also just started LOF, at her request. Another thing we may do as a group will be the new MCT Lit guide, and she will do Greek with her brother. Dd is also sewing this year, and hopefully doing some other handicrafts that she has enjoyed previously (needlepoint, crocheting, pot holders etc.). Gee, I think we will have to go light on the Bible studies. :D Edited July 15, 2011 by lovemykids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
