Storm Bay Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I don't see a thread on this here, so hope I'm not replicating a current thread. Old ones get so long and this is a new year. If any of you have used Calvert Math before or Shurley English 7, any tips or insights would be appreciated, but that is pretty much carved in stone at this point. Also, any tips on DIVE, since that is new to us. Ds is going to do: All American History II Calvert Math 8 Yes, this is a lot like school at home, but he really wants to go to ps part time next year, so this will be a good transition for him & he works well if I use scripted lessons (as much as I personally don't like them). Shurley English 7 (another scripted program, at least the younger grade we did is) along with a couple of literary guides I have (and the books) and Creative Writing with a fabulous writing teacher. Alles Klar for German along with continuing with Rosetta Stone I picked up a couple of the books for a song at a used curriculum sale & bought some of the others used on Amazon (already had RS which I bought new many moons ago). Stebbing for art DIVE Earth & Space (whatever it's called--gr 8) along with Apologia text (first edition since the DIVE costs plenty--we already have a lot of lab resources, so I won't purchase any kit) Trumpet lessons with a teacher, piano & theory with me (I am a piano teacher, and while he doesn't want lessons with me, the teacher I'd like for him has a waiting list & is now working during school hours so can't teach then, either) Swim team for Phys Ed That's all I can think of at the moment.

fractalgal Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 My daughter's 7th-grade schedule is in my signature. Note: I think I have her signed up to do too many things, but I will adapt it as we go. Some of it may take two years to complete. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colleen Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Here's where I'm at thus far in planning my 7th grader's school year ~ and given that we'll start soon, I'd better finalize some decisions! Spelling Workout H (perhaps moving on to Vocab from Classical Roots A & B) Lial's Introductory Algebra Rainbow Science (probably...and perhaps both years in one) Sonlight Core H History & Literature Writing With Skill 1 (I think?) Analytical Grammar (maybe prefaced by ALL?) Latin...? (major waffling here...went through Lively Latin's Big Book 1 this past year, which was fine, but not inspired to move on with it) Rosetta Stone German (may go ahead and start him in OSU's online course instead) Art of Argument Art History using various resources Piano Lessons (outsourced) Soccer & Track (at local middle school) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other - sailing, Scouts, and occasional ice-skating, swimming, and cycling. We lost some time due to ill-health this year, hence the need to finish up a few programs before we can move on.
