Another Lynn Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Still very undecided here.... Math - CLE 500 English - grammar?, IEW, SWO E, Literature Literature - particpate in LLfLOTR discussions with older brother (W/out re-reading the books), some of CHOLL Ancient History for Logic Stage, various literature re. to Ancient History. Bible - BSF History - VP Self Paced Greece/ Rome, still choosing spines (Early Times or Oxford's WIAT - only a couple, though), still thinking about weekly assignments and notebooking, <sigh>. Science - maybe RS4K - probably 2 of them? Latin - possibly Henle, very slowly, not sure which "study guide" Logic - keep forgetting .... something along the lines of the WTM recommendation, and chess Extras - Chess, piano lessons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeteranMom Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I will have twins in fifth grade next year.

2_girls_mommy Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) We did do one, but I have done much more planning since then! Here is where I am as of now. I can't wait to have the science in my hand to plan the year: Math: Rod and Staff 6 Spelling: Rod and Staff 6 English/writing: Rod and Staff 5 After reviewing WTM, the authors feel the writing in here is enough. So I am not adding anything else, besides the outlining and narrations and dictation from across the curric. Literature: Classical House of Learning History: WTM style with Kingfisher History Encyclopedia and listening in to SOTW1 w/sis. I will use the KHE pg. #s from A.G., but she will do the work from WTM logic Geography: finish the Complete Book of Maps and Geography and then get the Geography Coloring Book Latin: First Form Spanish: Spanish for Children Music: piano and R&S music workbook Logic: haven't looked into it yet. Will most likely be the WTM rec. Science: Memoria Press grade 5 science set and John Hudson Tiner's World of Biology and an owl pellet kid and dissection kit from WTM recs and a microscope (and and and..I am still working on this... ) Art: Complete Drawing with Children, then maybe What Your 5th Grader Needs to Know, SOTW1 projects, and possibly a watercolor course at some point in the year.

2_girls_mommy Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Science: Memoria's Insect guide with younger brother; and one book from God's Design physics series. Oh, I wanted the insects too. I liked it a lot when I looked at the samples. I really wanted to do the birds from 5th grade, the bugs from their 4th grade, plus the history of medicine from the 5th, AND the biology book from the same author of the history of medicine. I just don't see how I can fit it all in. So we are doing just the 5th grade set and the biology reader to make sure we cover all bases (with the couple of hands on kits I mentioned. ) I guess we will get the birds in depth this year. That is probably better. We have done lots of insect studies over the years, but I don't know anything about birds. Might be fun.. I also forgot in my list: Bible: Memoria Press Christian Studies I don't know how we are ever going to get it all in. But dd7 specifically asked for more Bible for next year. How can I turn that down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reading list takes us to September. I have no idea what she's reading after that. History: notebooking with Kingfisher History Encyclopedia, listening to SOTW 1 Black Ships before Troy (reading this now - this is just awesome) The Wanderings of Odysseus In Search of a Homeland Archimedes and the Door of Science D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths this takes us to September in history...after that, my plans aren't solid, but our reading list is: listening to SOTW 2 Stories of Beowulf Told to Children Dangerous Journey Favorite Medieval Tales King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table The Adventures of Robin Hood Michelangelo D'Aulaire's Book of Norse Myths we finish physics in September and are moving into Astronomy (with what I have no idea). I can tell you our hits/misses already, too. The Creative Writer is AWESOME. I was originally going to throw the book at her and have her do TCW on her own...but I decided that both of us are going to work thru it together and critique each other's work. ;) Also, I love Kingfisher H.E., but my daughter thinks it is excruciating to notebook from it. As we add WWS, I may ease up on the notebooking a little. Latin Prep is just awesome. I think that might be her favorite thing. Art: A History is really neat. (There's nudity in it, though - just a warning.) She jots down notes about an artist in her notebook, then she does a colored pencil sketch of one of their famous works.

Clear Creek Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm curious about what Daily Mental Math 5 is. Thanks! Lisa Here it is. We have been using the series since third grade. It covers all sorts of mental math topics...for example, the fourth grade one includes the four basic operations, imagining a 3D shape (like a triangular prism) and counting the faces, basic geometry (perimeter, symmetry, tessellation, etc.), measurement conversion, word problems, calculating totals or change with money, the next item in a sequence, prime and composite numbers, squaring numbers, rotate a patterned shape mentally and draw it, decimals, fractions, and a whole lot more. There is no explicit teaching, but the lessons slowly build on each other to teach concepts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Math- AoPS Pre-Alg, last little bit of MM Blue maybe LOF Pre-Alg and some sort of Challenge Math Writing- WWW, CTT creative writing 2 Grammar- MCT Town, Spectrum Grammar Vocab-Caesars English Lit.-reading to go along with History and then what ever else I can convince him to actually read. History- CTT "Early European Wars", and "Life in the Dark Ages" with additional reading from K12 HO and Oxfords "The Medieval and Early Modern World" series. Science- Co-op and maybe CTT Biology FL- not sure yet even which lang. DS wants Spanish DD wants French. Art- Co-op with some "Art Appriciation" from my old college text books. Logic- CTT Information Right or Wrong (had planned to be doing already but putting off til next year) Also one or two of the following: Orbiting with Logic, Mind Benders, Red Herring Mysteries....

mytwomonkeys Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 hmm. still really undecided here. these are some tentative thoughts though... Science - Apologia (not sure which one. we're using astronomy this year and really like it though) History - SOTW and Activity Guide Geography - Daily Geography (by Evan Moor) Math - CLE Grammar - Growing with Grammar ?? Spelling - Phonics Zoo maybe??? AAS??? Writing - IEW A Typing - ?? Literature - ?? CLE is the only thing we will definitely use. everything else is in the research stage. we currently use BJU for spelling and english, which i like fairly well. i'm considering switching to IEW though, as it will be cheaper than the bju dvd route and can be used with both kids. i'm considering SOTW too, as it can also be used with both children.

JadeOrchidSong Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Careful there;) It may look like much, but we go slow and steady and he will probably only spend about 90 minutes a day on all of those put together. Good to see you here. I am still interested in learning Arabic, at least at the introductory level, thanks to your inspiration. Whenever I think of you, I want to do more foreign languages. And we are going to start Getting Started with Spanish, just like Halcyon, who already finished it, though. I just recommended Getting Started with Latin to a mom who was thinking of getting Rosetta Stone, which is way more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greek anyone? :D We're not done with GSWS but will be by fall, if not sooner. It's much faster than GSWL for us, perhaps because I already know Spanish somewhat.

JadeOrchidSong Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) She's inspiring me to do more languages as well. Greek anyone? :D We're not done with GSWS but will be by fall, if not sooner. It's much faster than GSWL for us, perhaps because I already know Spanish somewhat. I started this Tuesday with a library copy of Getting Started with Spanish. we already did 15 lessons since it is so very easy. I haven't studied Spanish, but I have three years of French study. I want to buy a used copy now if I can find any. If anyone is done and ready to part with theirs, let me know please. However, I am not very pleased with our Lively Latin 1 study now since it is very easy after we are done with GSWL. Ds7 misses the sentence translation! Lots of the grammar is very simple and i dont think it will last more than 30 weeks to finish. Each lesson takes less than two weeks to finish. I mainly want to buy some time for my ds7.1 so that I can keep both boys together for Latin, and all other languages we are doing. I don't want to go at different speed because I want to make it easy, even though it means ds9 has to slow down a little. Ds7 is A fast learner of the two, so this approach does work well. In a year or so we hope to add French. Halcyon, did you ds6 do GSWL before he started Lively Latin? Edited March 3, 2012 by aomom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
