gamommy Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Here are my tentative 5th grade choices and a rough schedule. I'd appreciate any feedback as we're relative newbies. Thanks! Math:Singapore 4A/4B (based on placement test, we're coming from Saxon). Science:BJU Science 5 History: Ancients, listening to SOTW being read to 1st grader, supplementing with timelining and outlining using Kingfisher Latin: Lessons 11-25 of Latina Christiana 1 (covered 1-10 last year) Logic: Mindbenders A1,A2 * Could we also cover Critical Thinking 1? Spelling: Abeka gr5 Grammar: Abeka gr6 Reading: Ancient suggestions from WTM Writing: Writing Strands 4 *New to series... is this a good starting point for an above average 5th grade writer? Tentative schedule: Math: M-Th45 min, Fri 45 min challenging word problems History:MWF 60 min Science:T/Th 60 min Latin:M,W,Th 30 min Logic:T,F 30 min Language Arts: M-F Spelling:MWF 15 min Grammar:MWF 30 min Writing:T/Th 45 min Reading:M-F 60 mins (30 mins assigned, 30 mins free reading) Thanks for you input!

elegantlion Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Looks good to me. I have a 5th grader as well. We switched to Singapore last year and started with 3a/b for 4th grade. It worked well for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Looks good. The only other things I can think of are art/music and P.E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I think your plan looks good. I don't suggest attempting to outline from Kingfisher. SOTW would be easier to outline. You can probably get through at least part of CT I, as well as the Mind Benders you list. I think WS 4 is an okay place to start. If you start and feel you need to backtrack, the level 3 book is also a good starting place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacy in NJ Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Looks like an excellent schedule. I'd skip the Critical Thinking book. We found it pretty easy and it didn't add much to our hs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
