Saille Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) We're in the midst of a move and it's messing up all my homeschool ordering...plus some of this we've already started. We've always been offset by about half a year with Language Arts, and we're headed that way with math, too. Language Arts: Michael Clay Thompson, Voyage and Level 4, Time Trilogy, Jefferson's Truths, further assigned reading (I'll post a list when it's finished) Math: AoPS Pre-Algebra Latin: BBoLL2 (cont.) Greek: Review Greek for Children, begin Athenaze Spelling Workout Copybook History: Oxford World in Medieval Times (...and lots of civics, since it's an election year. Last time we went door to door and worked at the local headquarters for our candidate. Whatever your political leanings, I highly recommend it. My kids were fascinated by stuff they'd have found stultifying if it had been part of a formal curriculum.) Science: Earth Science, though I'm still torn on curriculum. Classiquest if it comes out? We'll also continue with Lego Robotics. We've not done much of The Snake and Fox, so we'll continue that. Religion: Comparative world religions. This year, we've done a fair amount of Bible study and some Torah. Next, we'll do some Qur'an, more on Buddhism. And the Middle Ages year is when we really get going with UU History. Part of me would LOVE to get back to Living Math, but I'm just not sure we can fit it in. If the library system in our new town is up to snuff, maybe.

iquilt Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This is my plan for my rising 6th grader: TT6 (finish, and start TT 7) SOTW3 along with Kingfisher Formal outlining practice Memoria Press Literature and guides from grade 6 Red Herrings Logic The Language Mechanic Spelling Workout F French 1 Mavis Beacon Typing for Kids (wants to start this summer) Real Science 4 Kids Physics plus Mythbusters Choir at church Gymnastics? Also we have a bible study for families at our church on Mondays that she will participate in this year. We are celebrating our last day of school today and will pick up where we left off in July. When we start again it will be summer olympics so we may delay the start of science while we spend time watching the olympics. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaNYC Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I'm considering a somewhat relaxed Ambleside Online for 6th Grade. I've been playing around with schedules to see if it looks manageable. Ds seems into it. I still have all the books from when dd used them, so I figured why not. Here's what I'm thinking: Spelling & Grammar: Spelling Skills 6, Simply Grammar Math: TT7, Khan Academy, and then some Math Skills 6 (Harcourt) for extra practice History: Continuing with 1700s-1800s America: This Country of Ours, George Washington's World, Poor Richard, Abigail Adams. Mapwork & timeline Geography: Minn of the Mississippi Science: Nature Study (Outdoor Power Hour blog, Handbook of Nature Study), The Storybook of Science, Physics Lab in the Home Spanish: maybe. If so, we'll continue with DK Language Learner and LiveMocha Literature: Age of Fable, Robinson Crusoe, Kidnapped, The Incredible Journey, Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Paul Revere's Ride, Rip Van Winkle, The Chronicles of Narnia books, The Borrowers, Tom Sawyer, Shakespeare, & Plutarch's Lives Composer Study: Using the AO schedule Poetry: Using the AO schedule Art: Artistic Pursuits Also, weekly field trips, choir, & CCD I'm sure we'll thin things out as we go.
