naturally Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I feel like I'm missing subjects in trying to plan for next year. I'm not looking for specific curric, just the subjects. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Twain Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Here is my list of subjects, though they don't all have the same priority. We concentrate on the 3 R's for elementary age kids. This list is not in order of importance. Math Grammar Spelling Composition Penmanship Vocabulary (starting around 2nd or 3rd grade) Logic Reading/Reading comprehension Literature Memory work World and American History Sports for physical activity Foreign Language Weekly subjects: Music/Music appreciation Art/Art appreciation Science Geography Civics/Government/Basic economics Other/Periodic Subjects: Health Library and Research skills Oral reports Test Preparation Typing/Computer skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 What ages? For my 3rd grader, I'm doing: Math Grammar Composition Literature Spelling History Science Latin For my K'er: Math Phonics/reading Handwriting Read-alouds Tagging along with brother in science For both kids, the core subjects are math and language arts. Other things can be dropped if necessary at this age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joani Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 What grade level are you looking at? For instance, this year, my 2nd grader did: Math Language Arts (spelling, reading, grammar, writing) Science History Geography Handwriting Art Music And my 8th grader did: Math Language Arts (literature, vocabulary, grammar, writing) Science History Logic Latin Spanish Religion/Bible is probably the most common one that I see here that we don't study.

MeganW Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) I'll copy out of my Homeschool Tracker list. This is a comprehensive list of everything I would like to get to eventually, NOT something that we are attempting to do all of every year! (I tried to set up HST to grow with us rather than needing to be updated every year.) 01 Christianity (Bible, Morals, Values) 02 Memory Work & General Knowledge (CC memory work, AWANA verses, calendar, weather, number line, themes, etc. - most of this is from Core Knowledge - anything that didn't fit in another category got assigned here) 03 Therapy (flexibility, gross & fine motor exercises, vision therapy homework, etc.) - I also include all forms of formal exercise here - dance class, soccer practice, homeschool PE class, etc. 04 Reading (literature (parent reading to child) as well as phonics & child reading to parent) 05 Writing (handwriting, copywork / dictation / narration / composition, spelling, grammar) 06 Math 07 Foreign Languages (Latin, Spanish, sign language) 08 Music (music appreciation/history, instrumental instruction, singing) 09 Art (art appreciation/history, drawing, other art skills) 10 History, Geography, Other Social Studies (econ, govt, poli sci, sociology, religion/ethics, anthropology, etc.) 11 Science 12 Logic & Critical Thinking 13 Life Skills (cooking / meal planning / nutrition, laundry, housekeeping / cleaning, finances / budgeting, home repair (electrical, woodworking, plumbing, wallpapering, painting) car maintenance & repair, lawn care, gardening, sewing, basic medical (first aid, CPR, etc.), photography, driving, interior design, cake decorating, event planning) Just to be clear - we are NOT planning on doing all this in any one year - it's my list of things I want to get to sometime in the next 12 years!!!

Momma_Bear Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Bible Math Writing Grammar Spelling Vocab Poetry Reading Penmanship (if they need it) Science Nature Study History Geography Current Events- starting in 3rd or 4th grade Memory Work Logic & Critical Thinking Music- Composer Studies & Instruments Art- including Art History and skills Foreign Language- Latin, Spanish and ASL P.E- At least one sport or activity Health- Only every couple years Typing Of course we don't do all of these everyday or even every year for some of them. ETA: For K we focus on the 3R's but mine at that age still liked doing history and science but they aren't necessary.
