swellmomma Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Nothing curriculum wise, we have found our fit now so nothing new that way. What I am excited about for the big kids is the online classical lit classes they will take with our school board. First semester I am hoping for the following- ds turning 9 will do fable & tales I which is a parent and child course Course description says: Come ready to read and discuss! Parents and students take this introduction to the Socratic Method together, reading and studying a weekly fable or tale. The entire family is encouraged to participate in reading and asking questions about these claswsic short stories prior to class, so that when the parents and students come to class they are all able to explore the deep lessons and ideas in these seemingly simple readings. the big 2 will take Classic Adventures I this is a socratic dialogue course using stories of modern adventure, including Farmer Giles of Ham, The Merry adventures of robin hood, kidnapped and other. This is a good transition course for those new to socratic discussion. Sutdents will uncover deeper meanings in some of western culture's best lvoed adventure stories Classical English Poetry This poetry class is an introduction to selected classic poems and poets. The course will explore the various types of figurative language, rhyme and rhythm used in poetry. This course is meant to give an appreciation for and enjoyment of poetry. We will examine how the great poets have instilled beauty and truth into the poems they have written. Some of the poets we will study are Shakespeare, Robert Browning, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Emily Dickinson, Robert Service, WIlliam Wordsworth and Robert Frost. Introductory Great Books Read and discuss original works from the greatest thinkers in literature, theology and philosophy. Through socratic dialogue, the students consider and question the works in order to discover their truths. Introductory great books is at the or to the W_____ online program. Many courses require Introductory great books as a prerequisite. Second semester I am hoping for ds9 to take Fables & tales II The bigs will take any of the above we could not fit in during semester I OR will move on to Modern Classics This is a socratic dialogue course using modern classics. Students have a weekly reading assignment in preparation for a 1.5 hour class discussion. They will develop a deeper and richer appreciation of Christian Western Culture. Human Society This course covers the history of Ethical and Political thought in the pre-Christian West in the greek and Roman Philosophers, poets and historians. What is the nature of justice? How do we know what is good? how do pleasure, friendship, virtue, and God relate to a good life? What is the best form of gov't? Why do people disagree about the best form of gov't? Depending on how they are doing with Meaningful Composition by that point I may or may not put them in in Highschool writing which includes class discussion, 1-on-1 tutoring along with weekly writing assignments.

ForeverFamily Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I am really excited to do history and science this year. For history we are doing a combination of TOG and SOTW. For science I am combining some of BFSU and RSO Life with lots, and lots of living books. We are also going to start notebooking this year which I am very excited about. I am also excited about my commitment to do more art and music this year, I think it will add a lot of life and fun to our homeschool!

NanceXToo Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Moving on to Volume II of Story of the World. We REALLY took our time with SOTW1, only doing it over the summers gradually at first, then finally incorporating it into our school year last year. We're just about done with it and I just got SOTW2 in the mail to use this coming year. I'm also looking forward to continuing Oak Meadow with both kids, it's a curriculum I really adore! And I'm looking forward to my daughter continuing with Teaching Textbooks- it's a big success here and I love how it frees me up more. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama25angels Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) I'm excited/nervous about MP's 3rd grade package, we'll be doing a morning basket idea and adding Life of Fred. I'm hoping we like Fred enough to maybe get rid of Singapore. I'm also really nervous about adding my 4yo. for preschool (just to keep him busy).

Donna A. Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Notgrass America the Beautiful for my 8th grader. I think it's going to be *perfect* for her. My high schooler is envious, as she LOVES the looks of it and wants to know why it can't be high school level. :001_rolleyes: The other thing I'm excited about is the fact that MUS is working for all three girls and we are NOT changing math curriculum again! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna A. Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 For this board, I have to say MFW K5. It's my total stealth/surprise winner, the thing I never expected to like so much! :D (check back in a few months and see what I'm saying, haha) The preschool activity cards from MFW are turning out to be very practical and useful to us as well. They're just easy to pick up and use, and one turns out to be just the right amount of time for ds. I seem to be going in different directions these days (high school stuff and preschool at the same time, ack!), so I love that I can just pick these up and they WORK. Love it. :) I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this! MFW K is on my short list for the next fall for dd2... Just to clarify.... The MFW program with preschool activity cards is not the "K" program. It's the Preschool program for approximately 3-5 year olds. :001_smile: http://www.mfwbooks.com/products/M50/10/10/0/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 HOD Rev to Rev. I've been on the fence about spending the $ but finally took the plunge. I chose convenience over cost...and I'm glad I did. I'm also excited about planning AAH with my youngers. Overwhelmed at the moment, but excited. And, I'm excited to start MFW US1 with my dd15 and ds14. It's not really meant for 9th graders so I'm a bit nervous how ds14 will do with it but I'm excited to have my high schoolers on the same topic and using the same books. Interested to see if any great discussions will ensue. AND, I'm excited to start doing some "real" school with my ds4 who is super-anxious to do "real" school. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too much new here, but we will be glad to return to SOTW again. Although we learned a lot of early American History here, we miss SOTW. Ds also misses formal mapping. Science Smart is also technically new for us we've never done the geography projects, but I'm not that excited.. More cautious, as there are a lot of projects involved. Writing out lists of materials for Geography, Science, and Art is okay, collecting them all? Not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll use TOG sometime as a supplement and more after they can read solidly - my 8YO really struggles. I also purchased MCT but that can wait a year also. I am glad to have some firm goals. Also thinking of Beast Academy with my oldest. Can't decide. But if I do, I'll look forward to that. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NittanyJen Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Doing Bio with my kids this year. MCT-- we actually got a jump start on it, and are nearly done with Magic Lens (DS11) and halfway done with Grammar Town (DS8). We're several weeks into CE1 and WWtW1. All I can say is . . . wow! I feel so bad for kids who don't get to learn grammar and vocabulary this way! I can hardly wait for the right timing in our year to dive into Paragraph Town and the poetry books :D. We're taking a short break from our regularly schedule Latin (DS11 finished BBLL1 and will start LL2; DS8 finished Prima Latina and will start LL1) to do Minimus together. I am very much looking forward to that, though a little nervous-- DS8 viscerally hates comic books; I hope I can coax him into enjoying the dialogues and interactiveness of Minimus. Math math math math math math math-- both boys are such a joy and so excited about everything they do in math! DS11 was asked what he WANTED to learn yesterday, to set his own schedule. The first thing he wrote down was, "Algebra." He had to do Fred. DS8 has already torn up most of Singapore 4A, and has started LoF:Goldfish. If he finishes 4B in the fall, I plan to take a short interlude before launching 5A to do Penrose with him, and some other fun math pathways (maybe if he's done LoF elementary, we can start Fractions). There is no rush to some invisible goal line. Nobody is handing out homeschool medals for being first to calculus. Reading with these guys. DS8 has gone from "reading is too hard, I hate it" just about 15 months ago, to "Magic Treehouse," reluctantly, to scooping up every MTH book he could load into his skinny little arms at the library, through Beverly Cleary . . . to now being halfway through Ender's Game as a self-reading project. He too has joined the family as one who has to be told to look up when walking so as not to bump into parking meters and telephone poles. History. DS11 cannot devour history books fast enough, and the other day, DS8 commented, "Wow Mom, one book about Columbus left this stuff out; the other book left this other stuff out. The two books didn't agree on a few things . . . when you are learning about something, you really have to read more than one book about it, or you are not going to come even close to the whole story, are you?"

momaof3 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 It's funny but I am excited about being home more this year. We did CC last year and although we loved it I also felt like I wasn't getting everything done that I needed. Being that I basically used CC for science, history, and latin I am now tackling it at home. So I am excited about this yet very nervous also. We will start SOTW1, switching from FLL3 to RS4 with WWW4 for DS9 and sticking with FLL2 for DS7 and adding WWW1. I got Abeka science very cheap but still am not sure if it's what I want:confused:.

deeinfl Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 IEW Advanced Communications, Speech Boot Camp, and Ancient History Themed Based Writing. Also, since we got such a great deal, Apologia Zoology 3 with Experiments!

Kim C Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I am most looking forward to ACS Middle School Chemistry & Caesar's English I. Fall should be interesting as we are changing most of our curricula. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
