Oops, duplicate account :/ Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 :D So far, I've settled on: HWT Cursive Math-U-See Apologia's Flying Creatures I still need a spelling (had settled on AAS, but now can't decide between a phonogram or morpheme approach, ugh) and writing (MAJOR UGH!!!) curr. I have WWE, but am not stoked on the fables and such, but would love something similar and CMish. We're not doing "formal" history and geo. until fourth grade (MFW) or grammar (Shurley) until 5th grade. So, what are you using? I need some ideas! :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.... Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 With the exception of math and language arts, I started creating my own curriculum this year. We switched into the new school year at the end of May. Math: Miquon + Singapore 3a and 3b, lots of math facts review, Building Thinking Skills 1, living math books Language Arts: Primary Language Lessons Writing with Ease 3 I have SWO, but there was a mutiny. 8 yro and 9 yro refuse to do this workbook...so we're working thru Webster's Speller until I decide what to do long-term about spelling. :confused: Reading: Hall of Doors: Dragon's Hoard The Drinking Gourd Boxcar Children Peter Pan Historical fiction to go with our US History studies lots of space open for him to choose reading Read-Alouds to go with US History (we're currently reading Carry On, Mr. Bowditch) History: US History up to Civil War lots of historical reading, want to do some primary source document stuff I might have them memorize the Preamble memorizing early presidents so far, history has been a HUGE hit Foreign Language: Latin and German. I think we are going to start Song School Latin in September. For German, I have a bunch of readers (Tobi Fibel 1 and 2 and Lesemaus). Science: Biology. We're halfway thru Apologia's Botany and Land Animals. We're also going to work thru some dissection kits later this year. Lots of interest-led stuff. Geography: Geography cards, Geography from A to Z, Maps and Globes, etc. We cover some geography as we read, also. Art: Art history book from the library. Doing some Native American art projects. We went to a Native American cultural center, toured the museum, watched Stomp Dancing, singing, etc. My kids did some painting based on that experience. I also might buy Meet the Masters later this year. Religion: Reading through John. I'm going to buy MFW's Hero Tales and Kingdom Tales. Good luck with 3rd grade!

laughing lioness Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) Here's my curriculum picks for the year. my 3rd grader is at the end of the post. Add in All Ye Lands for history. I also just nailed down memory work. I'm making my own "world conflict" cards using LM and google images. Also IEW poetry- level 3, science (LM), VP history and Bible, Latin. For history I'm going to have them listen to MoH (a break from 4 yrs of listening to SOTW- they still love it and have parts memorized- it's mainly more so that they have something new to listen to). We are going to get all 3 levels since we are doing World Hx overview. Books on tape and read-alouds. Enrichment co-op- art/drama/unit study. Karate with Dad.
