Liza Q Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I noticed two things - will she be taking Biology in the 9th grade? If so, that is going to be a lot of the same science two years in a row. have you considered beginning a foreign language? I think that having some prior experience in the language of your choice makes high school level study a little easier - just my opinion here!

Linda in NM Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 What we did...lots of different subjects still in 8th grade...a la Charlotte Mason...we'll be more structured in 9th. We studied algebra (Videotext), geography (various sources, including Mapping the World by Heart), computer programming (Lego/LOGO), writing (IEW), history (Trisms' HistoryMakers), Latin (Latin Prep), German (Rosetta Stone), health (Total Health), language arts (various sources), logic (various sources), and keyboarding (Garfield!)...classical viola, PT, and hockey, hockey, hockey... I'd say your schedule looks do-able, but I'd second Liza's idea about a foreign language (or two)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
