Guest mrscrafty Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 So, this will be our first year trying to follow TWTM. I have read the book and taken notes of possible curriculum for each subject but would love to hear what others have planned. Thanks for your input!

King Alfred Academy Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 We don't follow the WTM closely, but I do have a 5th grader. History/Literature/Bible/Geography/Arts & Crafts: Tapestry of Grace Year 1 Ancients Science: Apologia Zoology 3 Land Animals (This will be our first year trying this curriculum) Math: Teaching Textbooks and Math Mammoth Writing: IEW Ancient Theme Based Writing Spelling: IEW Phonetic Zoo Grammar: Rod & Staff and MCT (I know it's overkill, but...) Art: Meet the Masters Latin: I am undecided. Either Latin For Children or Visual Latin Other: Typing, Building Thinking Skills, Proverbs study w/ Dad, Handwriting Without Tears Cursive, Activities: Drama @ the local theater, Brazilian Jui-Jitzu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnlvr Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Math: Math Mammoth 5 (4x/week), Singapore CWP 4 (1x/week) Lang Arts/Literature: MCT Town (their lit component came out and we will use it, too...."Peter Pan", "Alice in Wonderland", and "Wind in the Willows" for the year), Winning with Writing (very short daily but he needs more writing help) History/Geography/Civics: Hakim (I read to him, he verbally summarizes with the goal of him outlining or summarizing in writing), Intellego (self-study civics, geography, and American History with Socratic discussion and projects) Science: Singapore MPH 5/6 (entire program....tests, homework, HOTS, etc) daily. DS9 is very science-y. He will also do "Stumbleupon" in Astrophysics (spends hours on different websites of interest). Foreign Language: Latin/Spanish (short and daily, both from the "Getting Started with...." series) Logic: Logic Liftoff (once per week) Piano: 10 minutes/day Character/Leadership/Community Service: 1 hour/week whatever DS9 wants to do to help others. DS will be engaged with school (not necessarily in a chair, but learning) for 4-5 hours daily. But he is also interested in career in physics, so I build the year toward that ultimate goal (MIT....HAHA). bcn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
