Heather in VA Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I did a couple of searches and couldn't find a 4th grade plan thread yet. I'd love to hear what everyone is using, especially for grammar/mechanics. I think that's the last thing I have to nail down. For my previous kids I've used JAG at this point but this one isn't ready for that yet. We are currently using Winston (which is going great but we are almost done) and Shurley which is an excellent program but drives me nuts so I'm thinking I might want something else. Anyway - what is everyone doing next year for 4th grade? Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoxcell Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 This is what my ds will be using for 4th grade: Preparing Hearts For His Glory(HOD) R&S Grammar 3 SM 4a/4b DITHR book list 4/5(we may do some of the DITHR guide) Spanish(The Easy Spanish JR., Real Homeschool Spanish, Song School Spanish) Artist study(Renoir, DaVinci, Degas, Van Gogh, Raphael) Composer Study(Haydn, Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart) Nature Study when we get to it. Apologia Anatomy with daddy when they finish the Swimming Creatures book. I'm also contemplating adding in R&S Spelling 4, but not sure yet.

redsnapper Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 We've only been homeschooling for 2 years but this will be my 2nd year of teaching 4th grade. I am sticking with Singapore Math (4A). My ds likes the program and is doing well in it. For science we like God's Design science and I think we will focus on life science with some physics thrown in for my little engineer. For history we are doing SOTW4. It's a light yet broad program that teaches but doesn't overwhelm. For LA, this was my challenge to plan. DS is behind on writing so I need to bump him ahead in this area. I decided to try out SWB's stuff this time around: FLL4, WWE4. We'll see how that turns out. I'm not very optimistic anymore after two years of disappointing LA programs for both kids. Hope you find what you're lookiñg for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kfamily Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Our school year is not lining up the way it used to line up (starting new work in the fall). We've moved a lot lately and are trying to catch up. Some things we've started and will need to finish and some things are for when we are finished.:lol: English: Composition: right now we are using Imitations in Writing (both Greek Myths and Medieval Legends) but I have Homer and may move her into this in a few months. I can't decide if I want to use Homer with my own selections or use it as is... I also have Killgallon's and would love to add some of this to... Grammar: can't find a grammar book I like.... She's excited about Grammarland, so we'll start that very soon. We also do studied dictation, narrate (oral and written), she's working in Italics Handwriting, keeps a copybook and has an editing workbook. I have her working in Intermediate Lang. Lessons but she does this mostly independently. I put some of it on her assignment sheet and some we do together orally. Math: working in R&S grade 4 right now (we took a break from Singapore) but will go back to Singapore in another chapter or two She's doing some Patty Paper Geometry work sometimes and I have Hands-On Geometry for her too. I just recently dug out the very few living math books I have and found some I want to add. Science: finishing up Burgess Animals and Among the Pond People and moving to Astronomy (RS4K), Trees (our own plan), Burgess Birds and later a study of Tidal Pool Life (our own plan) History: will continue with Our Island Story and Child's History of the World will continue with Story of Mankind and Famous Men of Greece with lots of supplement here too keeping a Book of Centuries writing narrations Bible: reading The Golden Children's Bible with MP guide Art and Music: not doing as well here as we should....we need to get to drawing/painting more than we do... keeping with our plan...artist study for now (Leonardo da Vinci) and then moving to opera study plays piano Geography: finishing up her notebook of terms (using A to Z Geography) independently will add Tree in the Trail soon always finding places on map or globe as they come up in readings Latin: Latina Christiana I and Our Roman Roots French: L'Art de Lire (Level 4) with copybook and readers and dictation soon Literature: she's looking at a list I gave her and will get back to me soon for independent reading (she's nearly done with King of Ireland's Son, Black Beauty, etc.) We have this planned so far... The Little White Horse (reading now), Poetry (Longfellow right now), D'Aulaires Greek Myths (reading now with MP guide)... planning Anne of Green Gables (our own study plan) with poetry, Evangeline, etc. planning Parables of Nature, selected tree stories, "Tree and Leaf" by Tolkien, norse myths, etc. for our Tree study planning George MacDonald's fairy tales and At the Back of the North Wind our challenge books will be Ivanhoe, Legends of Charlemagne (from Bulfinch's Mythology) and the above Evangeline so it looks like a lot, but we're nearly done or already reading some of it and the rest will be started when the first books are done...

SunnyDays Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm typing out all of my tentative plans... we may end up streamlining along the way! :) For my rising 4th grader, who is 9 1/2 (the half is brand new and very important to him, LOL): Math: Singapore SE 4A/4B and probably 5A; LOF Goldfish through Ice Cream, just for fun, and then probably going through Fractions and Decimals & Percents, too. Other supplements as appropriate (EPGY, Zaccaro). LA: MCT Grammar Town/Practice Town/Caesar's English I; elements of Bravewriter; adding in pieces of Abeka Language A for practice with usage/mechanics as well as "practical" writing (letters, book reports, etc.). Assigned independent reading and read-alouds. History: American History & Geography with a government/election unit, and likely a world history overview with "A Little History of the World." (We just started hsing last year, so we haven't done a history cycle yet.) We may also add in a state history unit. Science: Abeka Health, Mr. Q Life Science, and possibly Mr. Q Earth Science/Astronomy. Also adding art & music appreciation, outsourced art class, some sort of starting French... we'll see what else. I usually count PE through sports and other activities, and I'm not including our other extracurriculars. Huh... that sounds like a lot. But it won't all be every day, and we'll see how it flows once we get rolling!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
