jenn&charles Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I'm finally getting around to this. My plans are still fairly tentative though. This is my last high schooler so I thankfully don't feel anxious this time around. I've been there, done that - twice. ;-) Otter is also fairly confident what direction he's going to go career-wise, so that helps. I know 9th grade is a bit early for that in some ways, but my other two made their plans early on and stuck with them and I know he's likely to do so as well. Anyway, here are my tentative plans for 9th: Bible - ?? Some of our Bible studies will be incorporated into our biology studies. English - Analytical Grammar (one year schedule), and ???, maybe WriteShop I've been throwing around the idea of using parts of Omnibus I for a literature & Bible combo but ?? I'll also use something for spelling as Otter still needs to work on that. Foreign Language - Learnables Spanish (moving into Level 2), little bits of Lingua Latina or some possibly Cambridge Latin if we have the time Math - Probably TT Algebra with LOF Science - My own version of CK-12's Biology text. I've been working on editing it so that it's from a Christian perspective and also adding in different resources like better video links, etc. along with some humor. We'll be doing plenty of labs, etc. with it. I'll be posting the finished schedule, book, workbook and other resources on my website sometime around August. History - We'll continue to go through the Awesome History Timeline Schedule. That's been working out really well for us. Other things: Police Explorers, CHP Explorers Piano Boy Scouts I've been tossing around the idea of trying out block scheduling. Still mulling that one over though.

Math - Pre-calculus AoPS History - Biblioplan Year 1 Ancient History English - Bravewriter writing/literature, grammar (not sure what yet) French 2 - BJU French and Rosetta Stone Chemistry - Quarks and Quirks Geography - Trail Guide to World Geography high school plan Computer Science - TeenCoder Java and Andriod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I think we've finally solidified the coming year. I've even got most all of the curriculum purchased and I'm ready to start digging through and scheduling. Bible - The Kingdom of God: A Guide for Old Testament by Francis Breisch Jr. w/guide and tests from Christian Liberty (Honors) English/Writing/Language Arts/Literature - This has proven to be the toughest class to figure out and will end up being quite cobbled together using the following resources. Analytical Grammar season 2 Wordly Wise 3000 Book 9 Oak Meadow English 9 (without the grammar) Writing the Essay (technically, we're actually doing this over the summer) Writing the Research Paper (we may also be doing this one over the summer) Jensen's Format Writing The Exciting World of Creative Writing NANOWRIMO Literature List - I'm leaving some wiggle room here. Only the first 5 must be done, the rest are open to substitution, though DS14 helped choose the books. The Wizard of Earthsea (OM9) Animal Farm (OM9) To Kill a Mockingbird (OM9) Our Town (OM9) Romeo & Juliet Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery and Madness or Tales of Death and Dementia Around the World in 80 Days The Old Man and the Sea A Separate Peace A Tale of Two Cities (Europe) The Good Earth (Asia) Things Fall Apart (Africa) Whale Rider (Australia/New Zealand) End of the Spear (South America) Shabanu: Daughter of the Wind (Middle East) Endurance: Shakleton's Incredible Voyage (Antarctica) Math - Teaching Textbooks Geometry. *We actually already started this and, so far, DS is enjoying it. I am still unsure as to whether we'll do the co-op class for the extra support or if he will be okay without it. Social Studies - Oak Meadow World Geography. Science - Apologia Biology at co-op class. *He has also decided that he would like to read the Holt Environmental Science book that Oak Meadow uses but without doing the entire course. He said it looked interesting. Foreign Language - Co-op class utilizing the book Easy Spanish Step-by-Step. Other Physical Education - Tang Soo Do (year-round), baseball (spring/fall), swimming (year-round) Fine Arts - Photography co-op class if it is determined that we won't be doing the Geometry class since they both meet at the same time. Electives - Drama (Fiddler on the Roof) Am I missing anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 We are planning to stay with Calvert, hopefully. If they require too many live attendance classes, then we may not do it but for now we are pretty excited to see what they offer next year. If we end up not liking what they offer..well then I'm not sure what we will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrow Gate Academy Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I think I finally have a mostly finalized plan for next year.

Mountainmama Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 we may replace either cad or aerospace with Notgrass world history text 2 and supplement with spielvogel (only because we already have those resources - my son would prefer NOT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samba Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Okay, here is our mostly finalized plan: MFW Ancients for history, literature and Bible Analytical Grammar review (Great World Authors) & Art of Poetry (started in 8th; will continue to spread throughout HS) Holt Geometry Apologia Biology La Clase Divertida Spanish 1 Violin, string ensemble, volleyball, Special Olympics buddy for swimming and basketball, various service projects Our electives are less firm. I'm not sure when we'll start or what we'll use: Logic (probably Traditional Logic) Koine Greek (Should we do Elem Greek 3 now or wait a little while and do Mounce or Machen down the road instead?) Discovering Music Any thoughts on art appreciation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
