Storm Bay Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Ds will be Gr. 3 in the fall. His latest line is "School is Cruel"--it doesn't matter what we're using, he'd rather play. We're planning: Singapore Math 3 with CWP, workbook and text. Plus MUS (we have the latter already, and the SM texts already) SOTW 1 (we start history late) Easy Grammar (because we already own it and have too much other stuff to buy to buy new grammar.) plus Grammar Songs. Real-Science-4-Kids Latin Primer HWT Cursive Explode the Code Spelling--unsure Copywork for Little Boys Phonics Pathways as needed plus trade books, etc for reading (which he hates) I'm probably missing something here as I often do in these types of lists.

Sarah CB Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I'm really looking forward to next year. For LA: handwriting for a reason FLL 3 Poetry memorization Possibly (just possibly) CW Aesop, otherwise we'll continue with narration, dictation and copywork. I have an older child who will start Diogenes in Sept so I know there's no point in rushing CW. Reading good books and discussing using TTC techniques All About Spelling 3 History: Taking a year off TOG (we're Canadian) to do the years 1600 to 1850 on our own. I'm working out the book list. It will be literarture rich with lots of hands-on activities. Right now I have grand plans to integrate music, art, and geography as well. Science: Probably astronomy using Exploring Creation with Astronomy and Signs and Seasons. We'll do a unit on structures using Arty Facts: Structures. It teaches science through art projects. Math: Singapore 3B/4A with Math Express (math fact strategies and speed development) and i-Excel (problem solving). Languages: Continue with weekly Italian lessons. French with Easy French Junior and supplements. Music: Suzuki violin PE: Taekwon-do, homeschool gym class, swimming (not all at the same time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanaTron Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 My rising 3rd grader will be 8 when we start; he is my third dc, and has been the child that has taught me the most so far....mainly how to say "no" and mean it the first time. :) I've been so focused on planning for my rising 7th grader, that I haven't put my 3rd grader's work all on a list to see what I've got planned. So, here goes: English--FLL 3, Writing with Ease, ETC 5/6 (I consider this spelling for now) Math--Finish Singapore 2, begin Singapore 3 Reading--Finish Phonics Pathways, finish Grade 2 Pathway Readers if he doesn't finish this summer, historical fiction to go with SOTW 4? Science--My World Science (Red) Art--hoping to do Atelier over the summer Music--we may or may not continue with music co-op; if we do, he wants to play trombone, and he will be in choir and music theory History--SOTW 4 w/ older siblings Foreign Language--Learnables French...we'll see how this goes. His other option is LfC, which personally I think he'll like better, but he wanted to try the French first. P.E.--Home school tennis, home school P.E. Cub Scouts I think I've got it all...and if I don't, I think I've got enough! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5wolfcubs Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 My ds will be in 3rd next year: Math: MUS Delta & CWP 3 English: CLE Latin: Minimus Writing: Happy Scribe and narrations from history (maybe add WT 1 in January) Logic: Building Thinking Skills 1 Literature: Middle Ages (SOTW AG) & FIAR Vol 1 go-alongs Science: Science Through Children's Literature & CLP Nature Reader 2 History: SOTW 2 & AG I have ordered CLE reading but might not start that until January. We'll be doing some Nature Walks, Artist & Composer Appreciation, Mind Benders, and the Phonics of Drawing as a family. He'll be going to FIAR co-op w/ his little brother and Chess Club w/ his big sisters. I feel this particular child needs *more* academics because, while his older sisters spend their free time reading or creating elaborate paper people worlds, he only wants to play computer games. Thanks for starting this thread, let's see what else I can add to his day... :sneaky2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLHCO Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 My son is one who, if in the public schools, I would have held back a year for maturity so keep that in mind when he's on half-way assignments for the year. Singapore 2B-3B, he just leaped in math and is flying so he may make it further if it keeps up. I admit I didn't even start him until he knew most of his add/sub facts well though so I'm not surprised. ABeka Language 2 to at least half of 3 Spelling Workout 2 to at least half of 3 Rod and Staff 3rd to 4th grade Bible Readers. 2nd has been too easy so we may skip a bit. Handwriting Without Tears Cursive Story of the World - finish 1 early then get through 2 He's obsessed with science so I unschool that. It's covered. Trust me. Violin - about an 45 min. to an hour, with off and on piano and mandolin. It's his thing so the time isn't hard on his age.

Novafan Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 This is fun! This is the first full year of HS'ing we have planned for (we just started in Jan.) and I will have a 1st and a 3rd grader. As some of you can imagine, I'm still tweaking the plan a bit. So far this is our plan for our 3rd grader. 1. Phonics - ETC, once he's finished with ETC, we will use Megawords 2. Grammar - FLL 3 / Montessori style grammar boxes and sentence anal. 3. Cursive - he already writes in cursive, but I have him practice for neatness, we will continue to use Cursive Connections as needed 4. Writing - WWE, Words I use When I Write journal 5. Spelling - Sequential Spelling 6. Reading Comp - SRA Reading Lab 1C 7. Memorization/recitation - IEW Developing Linguistics Through Poetry?? (may drop this) 8. Lively Latin 9. Rosetta Stone German (we'll see how this goes, it may fall by the wayside) 10. Math - Singapore 3 w/ CWP / Montessori math lessons and materials and Math Facts in a Flash CD-ROM 11. History - SOTW w. Knowledge quest maps and timelines **Geography, Literature, Science and the Arts will generally tie in with history. I'm still trying to figure out how to do this effectively. I'm most likely going to use a "spine" for Science and add in experiments and books. I'm also looking at Noeo science. 12. Violin lessons 13. YMCA Swimming and local kids fitness class at my gym 14. Homeschool hiking club (I run this), Nature studies using The Usborne First Book of Nature and The Usborne Young Naturalist 15. Unit studies on Austria (we are moving to Austria in June 2009) - 1 per month (Geography, history, culture, art, music, language, etc) 16. Artistic Pursuits is on my maybe list, but if we can find an art class locally, we'll skip this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragons in the flower bed Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I'm trying to battle my inner planner, with regards to the content areas, and just let the kids read and do some notebooking about what they're learning. It's hard not to even assign broad themes or goals. I had planned an astronomy unit (and started a semi-co-op type thing), but the kids really want to study chemistry instead. We'll also be reading a lot on the middle ages theme, doing enough US studies to keep our school district happy (probably through Wee Sing America) and doing geography with the Geography Coloring Book and Audio Memory. Oh, and he's definitely doing a lapbook keyed to D'Aulaire's norse myths. Language Arts Lively Latin/Minimus combo CW Aesop A discussion of titles a la Deconstructing Penguins memory work from Plaid Dad's new book and/or our own poetry selections Maths Singapore Math 3 Challenging Word Problems 2 Intensive Practice 3 LivingMath.net C1Q2 (or is it C2Q1?)
