momma2three Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 We're going to do a second year of kindergarten, because I want to wait another year to start SOTW and she's a young kindergartener (birthday right near the cutoff date here). I think our spine will be the Elemental History of the US. It has read-aloud selections, and I'm going to build on the lessons with additional activities and projects. We're going to start Building the Foundations of Scientific Understanding. I was planning on starting it spring of this year, but we never really got to it. I'm going to stick to the Zaner-Bloser handwriting, spelling, and grammar. She's almost done with the kindergarten level of all three, so I guess we'll start on the first grade level. I don't know how necessary they are, but she really likes them. I'm still trying to figure out how to use both Math Mammoth and MEP without overloading the poor kid. I like both, and would like to use both. We'll continue with Reading Eggs and Dreambox Learning. The Scholastic Teaching Express activity guides quickly became my favorite curricular resources this year. We end up doing something from one of them almost every day. I now have the monthly guides for every month, so we'll do that. I think I might buy the first level of Atelier Art. She'll continue to take dance, swimming, yoga, and maybe gymnastics, and we'll add in the town sports (soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, softball in the spring). Not sure if I'll add piano next year, or wait until 1st grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsH Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I'm trying to get my dd to step things up a bit next year, since we've been quite low-key this year (it was our first year homeschooling). 5th grade math: finish Singapore 4A and keep moving ahead. I hope to finish 5A, but time will tell. We use ixl.com to reinforce skills. reading/lit: Selections from her bible, Classical House of Learning Ancients, and some poetry. music: daily flute practice w/ a weekly lesson; choir; The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. History: ancients using SOTW and Classical House of Learning. We'll add mapwork and perhaps a Jackdaw portfolio Spelling: continue w/ AAS. Starting about 1/3 into book 4, hoping to finish most of book 5. I'll probably add a bit more advanced dictation into her spelling time. Foreign Language - I approach this with fear and trepidation, but we'll most likely do Spanish. We might use Learnables, and then I'd set up conversations with Spanish-speaking friends, and get some basic readers/audiobooks from the library. Science - if we end up having my son at home, we'll use Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding. If not, we might use the WTM suggestions or do something else. I am lost in this area. Logic - we have a lot of logic stuff around so will not do something formal. I do keep a few workbooks in the car for when she's bored, and we play a lot of games. She'll also complete the (small) logic section on ixl.com. art - we'll get a basic "how to draw" kid's book at the library for her to work from and will see where that goes. I'd like to also move into painting and modeling but it's not a huge priority to me. writing and grammar - I really want to weave this into all the other subjects and not do a formal program at this time. We'll continue notebooking and narration (just started that in the past few months). If she seems ready, we'll start outlining a bit.

Hunter Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) I have to be on my toes, and switch up on a moment's notice, as the students I tutor come into and out of my life. I'm able to be a bit more steady in my own self-education. Handwriting: I love WRTR, and that is all I teach with. If they want something else they will have to go elsewhere. Mastery of handwriting is a priority, probably #1. Spelling/Grammar/Comp: WRTR, Riggs and CGE and Understanding Writing. Composition will focus on writing the friendly letter and reports. Dictionary and reference book skills, including the respelling exercises in CGE 2 and 3. Sentence Family along with the figure drawing resources listed below. Reading/Lit: Spalding's McCall-Crabb, Pathway, NIrV and KJV. I'm a big believer in using the Bible as the primary literature book. For reading aloud I use the NIrV. For literary appreciation I use the KJV. I want to cover at least one movie in Movies as Literature. Strayer-Upton Math, and Aufmann junior college remedial texts and free software. Science/Social Studies/Bible: Mostly Bedell, but a little BFSU, and Mr Q for about 2 labs. Great Adventure Bible Timeline. Bits of MOH volume 1 as a read aloud. Encyclopedias. Geography: Lots of map drawing and discussion of biomes with Draw Write Now and R&S grade 4 as a read aloud. Geography Songs. Waldorf for handwork with an emphasis on knitting a scarf, and hand sewing on gingham. To be worked on during read alouds. Art: An emphasis on figure drawing using Draw Write Now, 123 Draw, Ed Emberly Finger Print, and some fashion design books, to be used with Sentence Family (above). The crayon "paintings" in Augsburg using Faber-Castell Beeswax crayons, to make greeting cards, to be included in the friendly letter lessons. CLE and Easy Fake Hymn Book for Music. Joyful noise for scripture memory songs. Read alouds about a different sport each month and attendance at a sporting event, or home viewing of a game or movie. Creating a cookbook notebook for one of my students, to cover handwriting and organization as much as cooking. Mastery of the Greek and Hebrew alphabets and interlinear and word study skills. Emphasis on how languages work. Edited April 14, 2012 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyerin Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 my kids will all be working at PK level in the fall and we plan to have fun with FIAR, which will be new for us, and continue with AAR pre-1 and HWT PK, both of which we started this spring.

yobella Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 We'll be continuing with TOG, PR, MM, and SWI A, and art lessons for 4th and 6th graders. Also swimming and piano lessons. We'll be adding Typing Instructor for Kids, RS4K Chemistry, Biology, and Physics, and maybe MP Greek Alphabet Book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jujsky Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I am moving away from boxed curriculum for the first time, and pulling from many different sources. I'm nervous! For DS & DD who I will consider 4th graders next year I'm doing the following: Curriculum I'm sure about: Math: TT3 for DS, TT4 for DD Art: Meet the Masters Handwriting: HWT cursive Science: REAL Science Odyssey Earth & Space (2 days/week) and Life (1 day/week) Foreign language: Rosetta Stone Russian 1 Things I'm almost sure about: History: History Odyssey Modern Times Spelling: Sequential Spelling Writing: IEW Fairytales, Myths, & Fables plus I'll have them do some writing assignments based on the books they're reading. I want to focus primarily on writing strong paragraphs, summarizing stories or events, and creative writing. Literature: I think I'm going to use the literature suggestions for History as the bulk of their reading, but I'm not 100% sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
