regentrude Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 We are nearing the end of 9th grade. DD did: Art of Problem Solving Geometry/ some algebra 2 Physics (algebra/trig based college class for life science majors) English Great Books - Ancients History: Ancients French For these core subjects, we did not have a schedule (aside from the physics class: lectures MWF, homework and reading TR). School starts at 8am. She is expected to spend five hours per week on each subject. We get through however much material is possible working at this pace. Some weeks she focuses more on math, some more on literature. It averages out. Electives: choir, horseback riding, web design (part of her cumulative computer credit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Here is what I have planned for my dd who'll be 9th in the fall, too. All this is written in pencil because my dh may be losing his job, and I don't know if I'll be able to keep being home. Bible & Worldview: Taking the OT Challenge & Starting Points by Cornerstone History: Ancients (doing my own plans, pulling from Biblioplan, TWTM, & MFW) English/Comp: IEW The Elegant Essay, CLE English 1 (1st half), Vocabulary for the HS Student, Composition in MFW Ancient Literature Supplement, writing accross the subjects Literature: Ancient from history sources above & literature in Starting Points Science: Dive ICP with BJU Syllabus Math: BJU Algebra 1 Foreign Language: Visual Link Spanish PE: She's not involved in a sport at this point, so she'll probably log exercise (walking, biking, Wii, and basketball in the cul-de-sac). Still researching electives for high school as well as outside activities. She is not involved in any organizations (girl scouts, rec department sports), so we are researching what she can do.

Ester Maria Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Currently doing it: 1. Italian IV lycee program and materials as a solid "official" base (Italian w/ literature - chronological, Ancients; History & Geography - chronological, Greece; French as a foreign language; Math & Natural Sciences in regular progression, but supplemented and broadened; for classical languages see below, as she is past school requirements) 2. English w/ literature (mom-tailored mishmash, but outsourced re: instruction and output correction) 3. Classical languages Latin: Cicero (Pro Archia Poeta, De Oratore, selected parts from De Natura Deorum), periodization of literature and history, parts from Livy's Ab Urbe condita + Machiavelli's Discorsi, poetry: selected Virgil's Georgica and Bucolica, selected Ovid's Tristia and Epistulae Greek: selected parts from Homeric epics, anthology readings of historiography, few lines from tragedies as they are studied for (Italian) literature 4. Hebrew w/ Judaics and Philosophy Hebrew readings + language; Jewish pre-Rambam philosophy (and the issue of philosophy in Judaism in the first place) and main points in Rambam 5. Art and Music additions to History, mostly informal (a bit of everything, from Jansen to SOTW) and accompanying philosophy readings as they fit the schedule and topics studied (did a bit of Plato there with Cicero and Machiavelli, a bit of Aristotle when tragedy was studied and when Greek sources for Jewish philosophy were studied + Philo, of course), but not for credit + music: violin and solfeggio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChemMommy Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 My 2nd is in 9th grade this year. Here's what we've done. Foerster's Algebra 1 French 1 with Potter's School Apologia Physical Science Tapestry of Grace, Year 3 at the Rhetoric Level One Year Adventure Novel Killgallon for high school Building Spelling Skills Level 8 This child is a wonderful creative writer and spends 2 hours a day at least writing. But, she is not a great speller, so we are "reviewing" that area. She is not interested in science, so I didn't go nuts with a rigorous science program.

Elaine Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 This has been so helpful, thank-you all. :001_smile: I admit that high school planning has caused me some consternation. We had a few years of upheaval and turmoil and that set us back. We have been using our summers to get back on track. I know that the beauty of home schooling is setting your own pace, but I can't use that as an excuse to let the academics go. KWIM? Thanks again.
