Katydid Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Bumping this up because I just finalized my 4th grade plans and it's nice to have it all in one place. Next year we will be doing: Morning Basket (as a family) including Bible (Vos's Story Bible, Children's Illustrated Bible and the Jesus Storybook Bible), memory work (Living Memory), art (picture study and bi-weekly projects), music (CDs from library and Story of the Orchestra) and poetry (Favorite Poems Old and New). Plus a read aloud from the list below. Math: MEP 3B/4A and some Miquon and RS games, as needed Latin: Prima Latina English: Intermediate Language Lessons, The Sentence Family, Spelling by Sound and Structure 4 and Narration/Dictation across the curriculum History: Rome/Middle Ages using CHOW, OIS, Baldwin's Famous Stories, Viking Tales and various other library/picture books; Memoria Press timeline notebook Geography: Map Trek for historical maps and A Child's Introduction to the World/The Geography Book/Children Just Like Me/Kingfisher Geography Encyclopedia/etc. for World Geography Science: Noeo Physics II (plus some books from Physics I), The Nature Connection and animal habitats (Living World Encyclopedia and Easy Make and Learn Projects) Literature (read-alouds): Wind in the Willows, Understood Betsy, Little House books (first three scheduled), The Princess and the Goblin, D'Aulaire's Norse Myths, Golden Tales from the Arabian Nights, King Arthur: Tales from the Round Table, Door in the Wall and Pyle's Robin Hood PE: Weekly homeschool gym class It feels like a lot written out, but most of these things will be done with my second grader, as well, so it's not like I am requiring output from him on everything listed here. I'm really looking forward to next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started homeschooling in my oldest daughter's 4th grade year too. She is going to be a senior in HS this year...I can't believe it! Our 4th grade year that go-round looked vastly different from the plans I have for my next rising 4th grader. I feel like I am still learning so much after all this time! I hope you all have a great first year :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
