Brindee Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 MFW has a Health Elective available: http://www.mfwbooks.com/products/M50/50/25/0/1#health Just thought I'd throw it out for consideration, since you said you were still working on that.

DebbS Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I think it looks realistic and complete. Are you going to divide the physical education and the Health into two semesters or will you do them concurrently throughout the year? The reason I mention it is because my kids seem to like having a few courses where they spend a little less time weekly, so for some things we'll do what could be one semester of work over two semesters. Plus, phys-ed could be a nice break from the academics throughout the year. Either way, the credits still add up the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TammyinTN Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Brindee...thanks for the suggestion...off to check it out. DebbS...Exactly...it will be covered over the whole year. Some weeks more book work, some weeks more PE. Thanks for your responses! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I think it looks great, because it's quite similar to my own 9th grade plan! :D We're doing: Notgrass World History IEW writing Windows to the World review of some weak areas in math, followed by TT Algebra 1 Apologia Physical Science art ("How to Look at and Understand Great Art" lectures from Great Courses, plus Artistic Pursuits Senior High Book 1) Beginning Japanese Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Math - TT Alg 1 and LOF Beg. Alg Science - Chem at co-op - was going to be Science Shepherd Bio - but taking advantage of an awesome science teacher! For.
