ElizabethB Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 What's in my signature, except we will do RS4K physics and my daughter will be in 4A math, she completed 3B. My son is halfway through 1B. Also, we're moving from Adventures to ECC. I haven't updated yet. We just started light summer school, 2X a week math for my daughter and phonics for my son. (Math jumps out of her brain but LA stays in, phonics jumps out of my son's brain but math stays in.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Because she is a curious bird and wants to see a MONSTER thread. :) Here is ours. It is subject to change. 15yr: old STILL not ready for 'real' high school Math: no idea. Leaning towards BJU or Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra. Not sure I want a computer program, though. English: Lit Lessons from TLOTR cannot afford anything else History: History Odyssey L2 Middle Ages and likely Early Modern, as well Science: no idea. Rainbow Science with younger brother, maybe? 12yr old: Math: no idea. BJU? or ABeka? Something that moves relatively fast and is not very spiral. English: Saxon Gram/Writ finish 5, move to 6 (He loves it.) MegaWords 2 Sadlier-Oxford Vocab A/B Memoria Press Lit guides, maybe History: History Odyssey L2 Ancients then Middle Ages or may change as he does not like this. Memoria Press maybe? Science: Rainbow Science Yr 1/2. I have been waiting ages for him to be old enough for this. 7 and 6 yr olds: Lang Arts: Either McRuffy or Memoria Press 1st grade Math: either McRuffy or R&S (within MP) REALLY leaning towards the MP package as it has everything I want. Not sure about Latin. 3yr old: POTTY TRAIN!!!!! start learning letter names and sounds formally (any simple ideas?) R&S About 3 wkbks (she wants her own schoolbooks.) As you can see, lots of indecision still to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chepyl Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I have a first grader: Classical Conversations Foundations for memory work (Cycle 1) RS4K - PreLevel 1 Chemistry and Biology (I am planning to do 10 weeks of Chem in the fall and 10 of Bio in the spring to add some content to the science memory studies in CC) SOTW 1 - Just reading the story, and supplementing with reading if a topic is of interest to us. (to add some content to our CC timeline) Handwriting - I am making/pulling together this. We are writing the Hist. Sentence from CC each week and I purchase Happy Scribe Copybooks from CurrClick, we will use Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome as we hit those periods in SOTW. The rest will be Bible Verses and Poetry from What Your First Grader Needs to Know. Just 2-4 lines a day. Singapore Math 2A and 2B along with Mammoth Math Geometry for 1-3 grades to supplement. Shurley English 1 - We will start with this, after looking at it, I think I should have put him in 2 - but you can never get too much grammar practice! If we don't like it I have R&S 2 on the way. Spelling Plus and corresponding Dictation book for spelling. (Spelling list one week, dictation sentences the next. Core Curriculum of Basic Skills (2nd Grade) for reading comp, phonics and extra practice on math if needed. (Will use The Writing Road to Reading for more phonics review but his decoding skills are at a 5th-6th grade level, I am more concerned with comprehension at this point). Reading (5 books per month is the goal, more if he can!): 1 history, 1 science, 1 chapter book, 2 of choice (1 must be read aloud to me or Dad). Outside the house: Group piano, 3 hours of dance (first year on competition team :001_smile:), gymnastics once a week, co-op PE and lit based enrichment classes. I may alter this plan as we get going, but for now, this is what I have planned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I am curious what everyone will be using next year. :) I've used the same curriculum for the most part lo these many years, and while at one point I suffered in the doldrums, I'm now soothed by the familiarity.:) I feel rather like I'm in a groove and that's not entirely a bad thing. In fact, I'm looking forward to revisiting some of the same materials & books with my youngest two because I have more time & energy now than I did a few years ago. My 16 yo junior will be attending community college full-time. I sorta-kinda anticipated that (and we're both more than ready for him to fly the homeschooling coop!), but it still feels odd, kwim? He'll also be taking fourth year German via Oklahoma State University. All my other guys will continue using: ~ Sonlight history ~ Singapore Math (4th & 1st graders) ~ Lial's Algebra & BCM (8th & 6th graders, respectively) ~ Sonlight language arts (along with various & sundry other bits, such as online Bravewriter classes for the 8th & 6th graders) ~ Getty-Dubay Italic (6th, 4th, & 1st graders) ~ Sonlight science (aside from the 8th grader, who will take an oceanography course elsewhere) ~ German 1 with Oklahoma State (8th grader) ~ Rosetta Stone German (6th grader) ~ Typing Instructor (6th & 4th graders) ~ First Form Latin (new to me, I'll dabble in it with my 6th & 4th graders as we study the Roman Empire) ~ Minimus Latin (for my 1st grader...I always toss this in for younger ones when we study ancients) ~ Telling God's Story (adding this in for my youngest because I love it, and in appreciation of Peter Enns and SWB) My oldest does three sports ~ cross-country, swimming, and soccer ~ on the high school teams. My second son does soccer and track with the middle school, and plays rec league soccer. My younger three play rec league soccer in the fall & spring. So all of that covers PE! Musically, the middle three will continue with piano lessons. My oldest is done and my youngest not quite ready to start. The younger four will be in an art class. I hate spending the money on that, but they love structured art time and I just do NOT get it done at home, no matter my good intentions. I do cover art & music history at home, using various resources, so that's something. Is that it? I think so. I've offically added a chunk to what will become The Monster Thread.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdalley Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 MFW ECC - beefed up for the older two. STOW where applicable. Lit selections to go along with whatever country we're in. Math U See for the older two and Singapore for the youngest. Apologia General and Physical for the older two. We're two weeks into the science that came with MFW ECC and I don't like the text at all. I'm going to probably switch the younger to one of the Apologia Elementary series. Rod and Staff for Grammar and I'm going to give IEW one more try before I curl up in the fetal position and sell it and try something else. The boys hate to write. Just hate it. Oldest is going to continue with his tutor for the foreseeable future. He works out five days a week. Middle plays golf constantly. Youngest gets plenty of exercise bouncing off the walls and the mini tramp. I'll supplement with other things here and there - lapbooks - notebooking pages, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoToSchool Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 So far, this is our list...it's still being tweaked since this is our first year:) 4th grade DD- *Math- Saxon 54 *LA (Grammar) GWG (Writing) WWW (Spelling) R&S (Vocabulary) WW 3000 *Science- Real Science for Kids (1 per semester Biology & Chemistry) *History- Hodge podge of US history using The History of US series with stories mixed in *Latin- Prima Latina *Art- 1 artist per trimester, studied with works of art, field trips to the art museum and reading various biographies *Music- Much like art study but with composers 2nd grade DS- *Math- Saxon 2 *LA (Grammar) GWG (Writing) WWW (Spelling) R&S (Vocabulary) WW 3000 *Science- Real Science for Kids (1 per semester Biology & Chemistry) *History- Hodge podge of US history using The History of US series with stories mixed in *Latin- Prima Latina *Art- 1 artist per trimester, studied with works of art, field trips to the art museum and reading various biographies *Music- Much like art study but with composers As you can see...both of my kids' curriculums are very similar, but I'll tweak and add/subtract as we go:) My pre kindergardener will be working on basics (learning letters/letter sounds/numbers/counting etc) I am hesitant to buy any kindy curriculum because he's really not ready just yet, but may be by the end of summer. All ready in just 3 weeks, he's learned 3/4 of the alphabet/letter sounds as well as numbers:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warneral Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 3rd Grade * Sonlight Core B and Core C (attempting to mix the two and drop what I wish to make it doable) - History & Literature. I'm tweaking the bible to go through Leading Little ones to God every day and then move on to Telling God's Story mid year. We also read from a NIV bible which has pictures and tells the stories to children with NIV words and a little paraphrasing. * AAS (I broke down and bought the first 4 levels used as I think my son needs to learn the rules) - the words will be too easy for him so I may add in HTTS words. * GWG 3 & WWW 3 * Wordly Wise (we'll see how it goes - might drop it) * Math Mammoth light blue - level 3A & 3B hoping to cruise on to 4. Also have Miquon but don't know how I'll work it into the schedule. * Evan Moore Daily Geography plus additional Geography books. * RSO Biology and hopefully moving on to Earth Science mid to late year. * Abeka Health - we'll see - might just glance through the workbook together. * Home lessons on the keyboard My 2nd grader will do Sonlight along with us and then her own level of Math and Language arts.

Ack, don't feel like a slacker.:tongue_smilie: I'm just a little crazy:willy_nilly::willy_nilly: Some of the things I listed are half-way done and will be replaced with another on the list part-way through the school year. My kids like doing different things every day too so they do well with a mish-mash of different things. I won't finish many things on that list in one school year either (hence the half-way done things from this school year). We are doing three languages right now, but I will need to add another one because we are moving to a country where we will need to speak the new language. We go slow with the languages. The languages are all quite different so I haven't noticed a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Robyn Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 We started July 1st and most of my K, 2, and 4 picks are in my signature. We're using a few Evan-Moore books that aren't listed, but other than that.... Well, okay I guess our art books aren't listed and neither is Grammar-Land which we just got in the mail yesterday, and I started reading it to my middle ds last night.

NanceXToo Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Oak Meadow 6 for my daughter for everything but math. Teaching Textbooks 6 for math plus LOF Fractions 1x/week. And because I'm stretching 6th grade out over a two year period, I'm supplementing with various things, including: Continuing with SOTW 1 Story Grammar for Elementary School Getting Started With Spanish Meet The Masters (art) Typing Instructor For Kids Kidshealth.org for health Weekly cooking lessons using Rachael Ray's Cooking Rocks cookbook. Plus extra-curricular activities- continuing with Girl Scouts as a cadette, continuing Judo classes at the Y, and adding on guitar lessons this year. With my son, I'm using Oak Meadow Kindergarten.
