emmsmama Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm leaning toward the following for my 5.5 and 9 yr. old kiddos: SOTW 1 RS4K pre-chem & bio, Noeo Bio I and II FLL 1 and 3 OR Emma Serl's PLL and ILL Donna Ward books for Canadian History Reading selections from Ambleside L'Art de Dire for French Rand McNally Geography Workbook English from the Roots Up RS Math A for ds and D for dd Listening to music & observing art prints for Music and Art study - maybe reading about composer and artists Copywork from poetry HWT printing for ds and cursive for dd Some kind of reading program for ds but haven't decided which - Teach your Child in 100 Lessons, Phonics Pathways, McGuffey Readers, Hooked on Phonics, Teach Your Child in 10 Minutes a Day??????

Mama Lynx Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Continuing .... 10 yo, 5th grade: Right Start Math Level E, then Singapore Latin Prep 1, goal of finishing the book Lingua Latina, goal of finishing through Cap. VI Elementary Greek TOG history, field trips Literature from time period/my choosing Classical Studies - unsure. I may have him re-read Greek myths, because he was pretty young when I read them aloud to him the first time, and because I think you can't re-read Greek myths too many times :) I'm still, yes, still, unsure about what he'll do for writing this year. We will either continue using CW, or I may have him do the same assignments as his brother's writing class, or I will just use SWB's ideas for his stage ... no idea yet. He'll also do science informally and through Scouts, and is learning html and UNIX. Piano Swimming lessons 6 and 7 year olds, 1st and 2nd grade: My nearly 8 year old is a little slower in language arts, and my 6 year old is terribly bright, so they're pretty much at the same level. My 6 year old is actually the better reader. Writing With Ease First Language Lessons (they're at different places in the book) Right Start Level B (they're at different places in the book) Explode the Code for the older one All About Spelling Lit selections from LCC - fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and Greek myths. TOG history, field trips Piano, Swimming, Scouts Older one is a geology nut, so I will try to find lots of geology/natural history activities for us. Luckily, there's this big Smithsonian thing here ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragons in the flower bed Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 My goal for the year is to become a hard-nosed, draconian homeschooler who makes her kids do difficult things well every possible day. HHAHAHAHAH!! That is quite funny! Yeah. I'm reluctant to list what materials we'll be using because I'm tired of feeling guilty and flaky when I drop them three or six months into the year. For the 8yo, our goals are - instant recall on those times tables, - intro to long division and operations on fractions, - mastery of the pencil so that writing isn't such a chore but a tool, and - awareness of the "detective work" good readers do when analysing literature - finish Big Book of Lively Latin Volume I For the 5yo the goal is to get him up and reading. Yesterday he sounded out popcorn on the microwave. Yay! I really have no math goals for him yet. He's naturally mathy, and the sort of playing around with concepts he's inclined to do is enough at this stage. I also have a reading list set up for the year, focusing on the medieval era, but with a few American history and classical mythology books tossed in to meet state requirements and for religious purposes. When it comes to science, opportunities and resources abound, and my kids would do everything if they could. So, rather than setting a science goal, I'm setting science priorities: astronomy, meteorology, physical geography, and geology. Not very traditional, hm? Maybe next year I'll be sick of having a curriculum in the original sense instead of "curriculums" in the homeschooling sense, and I'll do a 180 and buy Calvert or Oak Meadow or something.

Annabel Lee Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 We're getting a late start this year, the 15th of Sep. was day 1 of homeschooling for us. Ugh, now we'll really have to cram. We had an "unforeseen glitch." :tongue_smilie: So, here's the plan: For my Kindergartener: Abeka - penmanship (manuscript), phonics charts, readers, ABC Bible memory verse cards Calvert - phonics sliders, Discoveries in Music, readers Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading, with flashcards and magnet board Horizons Math K, with Primary Math Manipulatives from Calvert BOB Books - we use these for his reading practice w/ OPG SOTW 1 & Streams of Civilization 1 Hodge-podge of Life Science sorted by phylum/class/etc. (Animal Kingdom, Human Body, Plants) Art - ?? Still choosing! Atelier or Artistic Pursuits PE - Martial Arts Lessons Bible - we use a Bible (there's a novel idea!), various children's Bibles, Abeka Flash-a-Card series, Daily Bread devotionals, etc. Weekly, we do a story, character value discussion, memory verse, and if it relates to our history/science then I highlight those links. Structured Reading - I read to him and follow the words w/ my finger so he can follow along from a book I select based on content or grammar/literary elements. Fun-Time Reading - I read any book he wants to him, or he looks at them on his own. For my 2nd Grader: Abeka - Penmanship (WWP 2 manuscript to cursive), Spelling 2, Primary Bible Reader, & Phonics Charts for drills Writing - WWE 2 Grammar - FLL 2 Bible - same as little brother Math - Horizons 2, but he's on L. 50, so I think we'll move into 3 before year-end. Also Primary Math Manipulatives from Calvert for hands-on learning. SOTW 1 & Streams of Civilization 1 Science - same as little brother, more feedback required though Music - Guitar Lessons Art - Still choosing, either Atelier or Artistic Pursuits PE - Martial Arts Lessons Structured Reading - Primary Bible Reader for now, we'll move on to other titles through the year (Aesop's Fables are on the list next) Fun-Time Reading - He's reading a Geronimo Stilton book right now Add to that lots of library books, board games, hands-on real-life learning in the house & garden with me and outside with Daddy (changing tires & other vehicle maint., hunting, ATV rides, household repairs, etc.), "recess" (bike-rides, backyard football, and other PE activities), and a homeschool co-op that meets every other Fri.! Hopefully I can re-introduce Spanish after the new year. By then we should be settled into this schedule and be able to add something. For now, I'm just trying to stay afloat! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

at the beach Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 We're in our third week, though some of the stuff we started earlier. Here's our line-up. This schedule is a total change from what I had intended to do. DD 11 wanted Sonlight, so I got it for both after looking at the catalog. :) DD 11 Sonlight Core 5 for history/lit/Bible Galore Park SYRWTL English 2 Calvert Spelling CD 6 Galore Park SYRWTL Science 1 Galore Park Latin Prep 1 Singapore Math Artistic Pursuits Book 1 (grades 4-6) Piano, violin, dance DD 9 Sonlight Core 1/2 for history/lit/Bible ABeCeDarian and Phonics Pathways (she's a good reader, but needs phonics) Apples and Pears Spelling (just ordered this) HWT (finishing print then cursive) Developmental Math with Singapore (DM is working well for her) Living books for science (Pagoo, Handbook of Nature Study per AO) Barry Stebbing's I Can Do All Things Piano, swim team For both, artist and composer study, nature study, I'm trying to add in some of the AO books and Shakespeare, plus additional poetry. But I'm not pushing it if I can't except for poetry. The Sonlight Core 5 poetry book is kind of lame IMO. Plus, dd 11 is doing some of the books suggested by her English book. I've also decided to try to add in some DVD's this year. Shakespeare, for example. History documentaries. Science. I think that's it...and fwiw, it's going really well...but it's early yet. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay in Cal Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 We'll be doing everything in my sig line (which includes some things we're finishing from last year).
