strawberryjam Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 We have a lot to cover next year as we're still recovering from 3 years of unschooling... I copy and pasted this from my blog, sorry if the formatting is off. Whatever we don't finish we'll do in the summer after Grade 4 or Grade 5. *Note that my son is Gifted and Asynchronous. So much of this might not apply to an average student (especially the science!) Language Arts: Phonics All About Reading 4 Explode the Code workbooks 7 & 8 Language Arts: Reading Independent Reading Book List - based on Classics and high-interest STEM topics. CLE Reading Language Arts: Handwriting A Reason for Handwriting CursiveLanguage Arts: Writing Writing With Ease by Susan Wise Bauer "Just Write" workbooks by EPS Writing & Rhetoric: Fable - by Classical Academic Press Language Arts: Spelling Spelling Power Spelling Workout, if needed. Language Arts: Grammar & Vocabulary First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind Evan Moor Language Fundamentals Vocabulary from Classical Roots (half the year) Wordly Wise (half the year) Evan Moor "Word a Day" Language Arts - Poetry "A Child's Introduction to Poetry" Poetry Unit Language Arts - Other Supplements Online Typing Program Read Alouds MCT Grammar (only if the other grammar stuff doesn't work out and we want to try something different) Math CLE Math workbooks Math in Focus or Singapore Standards (IP and Word Problems) "Key to..." Topical Math Series, as needed. Canadian Social Studies Unit adapted from Outlooks SeriesHistory Story of the World series with activity guide, projects and read alouds - finishing Ancients and starting Middle Ages. "A Child's History of the World" by Hillyer "History through the Ages: A Record of Time" Timeline Scrapbook History of Science Unit from Beautiful Feet Books Geography "The Complete Book of Maps and Geography Grades 3-6" Guesthollow's Geography Curriculum Science & Nature Study - planning for a heavy science year this year. We haven't done formal science in a while mainly cause I can't figure out where to start. He is a few grade levels ahead in his scientific understanding, more at a Jr. High level, but he has a couple of gaps and I like to be thorough. Term 1: R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey Life Science Level 1 (Biology) Decided this was too easy. He can join in with some of the labs if he wants to (will be doing this level with his younger sister who is in Grade 1). Planning to do Biology for half the year in Grade 5 so we might just skip it this year. Term 2: R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey Earth and Space Science Level 1, Science in a Nutshell Kits, and independent high-interest reading (including Planet Earth by Tiner and Basher Science series). Term 3: R.E.A.L Science Odyssey Chemistry Level 1, Science in a Nutshell Kits, and independent high-interest reading (including Chemistry by Tiner and Basher Science series). Summer School: R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey Physics Level 1, Science in a Nutshell Kits, and independent high-interest reading (including Physics by Tiner and Basher Science series). History of Science Unit (from Beautiful Feet Books) Chemistry Unit: "The Elements: Ingredients of the Universe" by Ellen McHenry Read Alouds: Burgess books (Seashore, Birds, Animals), The Story-Book of Science by Fabre. CM style nature journaling, sketching. HBO DVD series "The Inventors Specials" Whatever we don't finish we'll continue with in Grade 5. Optional: Marine Biology Unit Acorn Naturalists - website Microscope Telescope Tree Ring Kit Rock Collection and field trip to a real mine, go panning for gold. Geocaching and Letterboxing "Molecules" by Theodore Gray DK Science Encyclopedia Biblical Studies "Telling God's Story" by Peter Ens, Year 1. (I have it... but not sure about it) A Beka Flash-a-cards story series (Use this and love the illustrations) Bible Road Trip Curriculum by Danika Cooley (Maybe... either this or CLE Bible, I don't think we'll do both) The Gospel Story Bible "God's Providence" by Sally Michael "God's Wisdom" by Sally Michael CLE Bible workbooks Art Artistic Pursuits Gr.4-6 Home Art Studio DVDs "Drawing with Children" Monart Method "Getting to know the Worlds Greatest Artists" book series (from the library) Ed Emberley's Drawing books (from the library) "A Child's Introduction to Art" HBO DVD series "The Artists Specials" Music Little Mozarts piano series (taking a break from 2 years of piano lessons just to review and have fun) "Getting to know the Greatest Composers" Series HBO DVD series "The Composers Specials" Health & Careers - not sure yet.
