2012/2013 School Year - What do you plan to use for the three R's?


Recommended Posts

7th grade LA

Latin Road(2nd yr)

Shurley Grammar 6(2nd year)

history lit from Tapestry of Grace, possibly a Total Language Plus guide with book

Write Shop(2nd year)

All 2nd years mean that we have also worked on them this year, but with all the choices I have picked, we are doing each over a span of 2 years instead of doing just one in one yr. Hope that makes sense!

 

3rd grade LA

over the summer we will finish PR 2. Im thinking we will do The Writing Road to Reading with the 3rd gr teacher's guide I have.

Tapestry of Grace's lit suggestions and maybe Total language plus

continuing Shurley 2(yr year)

MCT Music of the Hemispheres(2nd yr)

 

1st grade LA

Continuing PR 1

Tapestry of Grace's lit suggestions for read aloud

 

7th grade math

Teaching Textbooks Prealgebra or Saxon 1/2(not sure yet)

 

3rd grade

Rod and Staff 3

 

1st grade

Rightstart B(we've already started)

For dd7, who will be in 2nd grade...

 

Math-Miquon, MEP, and Ray's arithmetic, Games for Math

 

Writing-FLL2 and maybe WWE (not sure if I'll use the workbook or pull from our own readings...) or PLL, not sure yet. Games for Writing.

 

Reading-she will be starting a reading program at VT (Dynamic Reader), which we will also purchase for home use. I'll continue with WRTR and ABCTheKey, since both of them really like it. *IF* we have it in our budget, I'd love to get LOE, but I might just have to get the game book and use it with WRTR. Also Games for Reading and AAS 2&3.

Spelling (counting this as the dictation part of our writing also) - Apples& Pears B/C/and hopefully D

Ds will be doing:

 

-Phonics Pathways

 

-ETC- I think he will be in books 1 1/2 and 2 (1 1/2 for review) I hope he gets into book 2 by the summer though but I am not sure.

 

-A Reason for Handwriting book A (He just finished book K and started this today)

 

-FLL 1-We are going SOO. SLOWLY though it now but he loves it and its all oral at the moment (we are only on FLL 1 lesson 10 though)

 

-WWE 1

-Math- we will continue Horizons until ds can read then we will be switching to teaching textbooks. I will need to be right at his side once he does that but I think he will enjoy that much more than Horizons because its computer based

 

Also I think we will give AAS 1 another go. We tried this year and he just was not ready.

I will ofcourse be reading aloud to him often and we will be getting leveled readers for him to read. We also have Reading Pathways that he reads from.
