almondbutterandjelly Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Ooh, I've been waiting for this! (Editing because I've made changes already!)  Math: Finish Horizons Pre-Algebra. Start Horizons Algebra. Also continue with Singapore Primary level 4 (vsl here. Hard is easy and easy is hard.) Writing with Skill level 1. Grammar: Voyages in English 8. Literature: WTM recommendations for Early Modern Times. I'm really excited about the fairy tales. Is that weird? And Don Quixote. Usborne has a cute young reader version I just ordered! History: SOTW Early Modern Times, plus Classical Conversations flashcards on New World (we just memorize the events and dates, but the visuals on the cards are absolutely helpful). Comprehension Plus D Abeka Spelling/Vocab for 8th grade Maps Charts Graphs H Science unit studies on Einstein, Forensics, Cats, Dogs, and Teeth, in no particular order. French: So You Really Want to Learn French 1 Bible: Notgrass Draw to Learn Psalms Some workbooks on genre and figurative language.

littlebug42 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I am still fleshing this out but this is what I have so far.  Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra Lightning Literature with some additional books to just read Abeka grammar Kilgallon for writing Word roots CK-12 Earth Science  History will be joined with her younger (6th grade) sister and will consist of SOTW book 3 with emphasis on the US History.  Sweet-Pea will be using K12's American Odyssey book also and we are throwing in activities from the Time traveler's CD's mainly for younger DD who needs hands on activities.  Hoping that Getting Started with French will be published by fall but if not, something for French.   ETA:  This child also takes dance classes and does lots of local theatre workshops/productions.  She plans to pursue a theatre degree in college so this is a big focus of ours now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 What we have so far:Math: Aops AlgebraGrammar: Rod and Staff 7Vocab: Finish Caesar's English 2 and then no more vocab "programs" for us.Lit: Novels + selections from Journeys Through Bookland. I like Progeny Press guides and I plan to get Windows to the World. Also have my eye on Teaching with Movies. ETA:Â Oops, instead of Teaching with Movies, I meant Movies As Literature.Writing: Homegrown using Lively Art of Writing plus my reverse engineered version of WWS2, and a healthy dose of Warriner's Composition and Models.History: continue through K12. Not sure how far we will get this year. We are sloow, but DS likes geography, civics and current events. A lot. All good stuff, but it does slow down history. Need to do more w/ primary sources.Geography: Am very tempted by IGCSE Geography right now.Science: Somewhat interest led. Unit studies for sure. No way am I willing to give a whole year to one discipline until I have to!Danish: Tutor + college textbook + lit approach. DS will earn a high school worthy credit here.Art: My son's LEAST favorite subject. I refuse to drop it, knowing that he will probably never again study studio art after middle school.Music: Piano and ABRSM music theory (slow pace, mock exams only). But we sure have had a solid groove going on for music appreciation. It has been a highlight of the year. So...continue.TBD:Latin (we will finish GSWL this year). Henle? New Millenium?TheologyLogic / ProgrammingWe enrolled in Kolbe Academy this year, and will do so next year also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootAnn Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks for starting the thread! :hurray:  Both of us really like history this year & luckily there is a 'next book,' so I know what we're doing for that. In other cases, I know what I want her to do -- but not necessarily what materials or class we're going to use. Preliminary plan:  Math: Abeka Algebra 1 w/DVDs. She'll finish Pre-Algebra this spring, but I'm pondering if I want her to do something "extra" until fall. Enrichment. Something different. ??  History: Light to the Nations 2  Language Arts: Windows to the World or Elegant Essay or WWS2? Lit that goes w/history picked by me or WttW's lit if I go w/Elegant Essay  Science: Rainbow Science Year 1  Foreign Language: Latin - MP's Second Form (w/on-line class?) Spanish - Online class (Spanish Clicks?)  Undecided:  Religion? Logic? Music? Grammar? Really looking hard at those "high school skills" and wondering what else I should be focusing on. Study skills? Continuing w/karate & homeschool PE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bible: Old Story New (daily devotion/discussion) History: Mystery of History 3 (Renaissance) Science: BJU Physical Science Math: Horizons Algebra I plus weekly Mad Minutes for drill Spanish: Visual Link Spanish Level 2 Critical Thinking: The Thinking Toolbox Literature: Kolbe Academy Jr. High Literature  These, I am still trying to figure out exactly what I want to do. I need to decide if we want to continue with formal grammar instruction or take a break and focus more on writing. Also not sure if vocabulary is a waste of time for this particular kid. Wordly Wise 7 has seemed like busy work. Grammar/Writing: either Rod and Staff English 8 or Jump In or both? Vocabulary: Wordly Wise 8? Art Appreciation/Music Appreciation: ??? No idea yet, but I want to do a semester of each. I'm going to go back through this thread to look for suggestions. Study Skills: Again, no idea, but I want to make sure he's prepared for high school. He wants to go back to public school then. We will see, but study skills would be helpful, either way.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriedClams Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Here's our list- Â Math - finish Saxon Algebra 1, move on to 2 (we school semi-year round) Â Science - BJU 8 Space and Earth On DVD Â History/geography/Literature/writing/Bible - Sonlight Core G Â LA - CLE 8 Â Reading - CLE 8 Â I've come to realize two things about my kids. One, we're STEM people. We are math and science focused. It's us. I dont mind dropping 2-3 hours a day on those plus Bible.Second, my kids read and read and read. (DD read the unabridged Hobbit in a day, loved it, and begged for the whole LOTR series...) Sonlight fits us really well, and I need to just get over my box snobbery.
