mazakaal Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I've spent so much time trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my rising 9th grader that I suddenly realized that I hadn't even begun to plan for the younger kids. I started to panic but then realized that we can just continue on with most of what they've been doing. Here's the plan for them. Could you just let me know if there's anything that I've left out. (I almost forgot to add handwriting for ds!) both: Bible - family devotions science - Apologia Zoology 2 or 3 and some physics materials we have on hand history - finish SOTW 2 and start SOTW 3 geography - map making ala The Core and country studies with home ed group art - continue very slowly working through I Can Do All Things and study Renaissance artists music - Classics for Kids online dd 5th grade: math - finish MM4 and start MM5 spelling - R&S 5 vocabulary - WW5 grammar - JAG writing - WT 2 logic - Reading Detective, Building Thinking Skills Latin - finish LL1 and start LL2 Spanish - still not decided on this ds 3rd grade: math - MM3 spelling - R&S 3 vocabulary - WW3 handwriting - HWOT Cursive Handwriting grammar - Grammar Land writing - WWE3 logic - Reading Detective, Building Thinking Skills Have I missed anything?

Hedgehog Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Looks good Megan - the only thing I noticed was that you don't have any foreign language for your 3rd grader yet? Not essential but some do. Assuming they do some sport, it looks like you've got it covered :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 I started my older boys with Latin in 3rd grade and kind of regretted it. I thought it was a bit too much too soon and wanted to give the younger ones more grammar background before they started Latin, so dd started Latin this year in 4th, and I'll do the same with the youngest. He does follow along a bit with dd's Spanish, but I don't push it with him. I'm not sure if you noticed while you were here, but he's very antsy and active. It's hard enough to get him to sit still for the necessities, so I don't push the Spanish. I don't list pe because we don't use a program for it, but dd does gymnastics and they both swim weekly. I'd like to add a sport for the youngest, but haven't yet. Living in the middle of nowhere makes joining clubs difficult. We may be making a move to a more populated area, so maybe can find a club he'd enjoy then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazakaal Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 That does look pretty good. I also might just start to 'assign' some active games on the Wii during their lunch break. They could do pe challenge activities on clear days and Wii on rainy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Megan - McGraw-Hill Practice Makes Perfect Spanish and "Vamos a Cantar" (Let's sing) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1905780133/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1330735084&sr=8-1. That's a link to the spiral bound version; you may be able to find a regular copy for less. Another option is to get dual language children's story books in Spanish and English; or Spanish story books that your children already know in English like "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle - "La Pequena Oruga Glotona".
