radiobrain Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Well, I will have a 6th and 7th grader, don't ask me how that happened. :confused::tongue_smilie: I think everything is in my sig, except that I might be doing a beta test on The Logic of English, I have started using a weird high school writing thing I got for free called Build Your Writing Skills 1 & 2, that is pretty good so far. I can't believe it is considered HS, seems pretty easy for an 11 & 12 yo to do, IMHO. I do several odd things outside of our house all year. We should be doing fencing this year, young eagles, we always do science classes at the gifted enrichment program I volunteer for, and we might have a writing class with a teacher this year. Oh, and I might try to teach Latin this year, too. I am trying to work out a reward program for my kids actually doing and finishing work. It is driving me crazy.

Quiver0f10 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Because she is a curious bird and wants to see a MONSTER thread. :) The question is, will anyone read all the replies once the monster thread is several pages long? Jean has to because she started it!:D Sorry. I'm a question-asker and I always wonder why anyone else would even care what I do or how I do it. I could care less what anyone else uses! Whatever works for you - go for it! The funny this is I forgot that I posted this until I signed on this morning. I am losing my mind.

SorrelZG Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I am not comprehending how one can call a thread like this dangerous in the midst of a forum like this. :confused: :lol: That said, I LOVE the idea of a thread several months from now on the topic of what, if anything, has changed from the original plans. Actually, I'm pretty sure I recall lurking over one late last year so I guess that's not a novel idea. It will probably happen before Christmas and I'll be looking forward to it. Can't wait to post and read updates! :D This year I can join in! :001_wub: It may not be read by all and no-one may ultimately care but rest assured, I was happy typing about it anyway. :D This year I'll be using: Math: MM1, supplementing with The Verbal Math Lesson and Mathematics Power Learning for Children. Language Arts: I'm intensely focused on wrapping up phonics. I'm using HOP 2 + phonogram drills. I'm making reference to Blend Phonics to make sure I'm covering everything and will perhaps supplement with it. Once phonics is completed I'm adding Spelling Workout A and Song School Latin. If SW A gets completed this year, we'll move on to SW B and add FLL1. Everything else: Heart of Dakota's Little Hearts for His Glory including A Reason for Handwriting A, Thinking Skills Gr. 1 and Our Father's World. I'll also be using Little Hands to Heaven with my youngers, the oldest of which I am using Blend Phonics with and who will eventually start Saxon K Math.
