SFM Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Bible- Veritas Bible Old Testament plus Adams Map of History and The David C. Cook Journey Through the Bible (we love this book) Math- Singapore 3A/3B with Horizons 3 and some Calculadder and Xtramath.org (he loves those last two) Science-Apologia Astronomy (maybe Zoology 1 in the next semester) History- SOTW Vol. 3 with Biblioplan Grammar- FLL 3 (although considering Shurley English) and throwing in some ILL, because we like it! Reading- Sonlight list (us too) and some SOTW Vol. 3 selections Spelling- All About Spelling Writing- WWE 2/3 and IEW TWSS Units 1-3 Phonics- (just because he likes it): ETC books For Handwriting we use Copywork books from Queen Homeschool and Spelling Wisdom from Simply Charlotte Mason. We also try to incorporate (on Fridays) our Nature Study, art work for the week/projects, and our hymn study (we use Then Sings my Soul by Morgan). oh journal writing, pen pals and Piano and Spanish (we do Spanish as a family though). Although we are considering Japanese. (We live in Japan). Sometimes I feel like it is too much but we seem to work through it all, like you, do don't do everything everyday, except Bible and Math.

................... Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Horizons, CWP 2, Times Tales Abeka Grammar and Creative Writing (my dd gets very creative with these!) Sequential Spelling Reason for Handwriting Finish T, start C soon Rosetta Stone Spanish with verbal and written review with me (Will be adding Mega Words soon to help with syllables and reading) Together: Apologia Zoology 1 Apologia Who is God? SOTW 2 and read-alouds Homeschool PE Gymnastics The only thing I really feel we are missing is art. Not sure where we are headed with that though. I'm thinking artpacs are the only thing that might get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelsi Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 LA: MCT Island level MCT Literature study WRTR for spelling Math: MUS Delta + Beast Academy Science: BSFU + "Beach Science." We're moving to the coast in a few weeks and since we've never lived near the ocean we're going to have 1-2 days a week we spend at the beach learning all sorts of science-y things (thinking tides, sea/land creatures, why the water is green on the emerald coast, sand castle engineering, etc). History: BCP (Baltimore Curriculum Project) Geography: BCP Typing: not sure which program yet but we're pretty sure he has dysgraphia so we're going to try and get him typing before we do much in the way of composition. Handwriting: Cursive curriculum from LOE for both kids (my youngest is starting kindy) ETA: Extra: Lego building kits, I forget what they're called but he'll get a new one every 2 months I think or something like that. He also does things like cub scouts, hip hop, baseball, and usually some other extra curricular. He wants to try karate so we might do that.
