HollyDay Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm looking at end of the year sales and planning for next year. Has anyone started their 11th grade plans?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I think we're officially planned. DS/11th English: homegrown American lit, combo of finishing Writing With a Thesis, They Say I Say, and homegrown composition Math: Intermediate Algebra by Larson with the Mosely DVDs (expecting we'll take more than 11th to get it done) Science: Spectrum Chemistry History: American, using the free Funda funda schedule as written Language: Breaking the Spanish Barrier, finish 1, start 2 Electives we're still trying to nail down. We've tossed around art history, debate club, philosophy, theology, and nothing seems to grab him. He will probably do the fun British lit course I'm writing for siblings (a little untraditional, based on inspiration of J.K. Rowling). He's very interested in a choir/drama/dance group, but he'd have to drop swimming for it. Decisions, decisions. Extracurricular: BSA Boy Scouts, BSA Venture Crew, WWII dance performances and dance club scene as a family All I need to buy is the chemistry, Spanish, and a few more literature titles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoot Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Right now I'm feeling very :willy_nilly: about next year. Usually, by this point I've got everything nailed down, but I just haven't felt all that inspired lately. What I'm pretty sure we're doing: Math - Saxon Algebra 2 Science - Suchocki Conceptual Chemistry History - 20th & 21st Century World History with current events; No idea what materials we're using yet. English - I'm still up in the air about this, but I'm pretty sure he'll do world literature. Beyond that, I'm :banghead: . Bible - Old Testament required class at co-op. Foreign Language - He is really over Spanish after this year and will be doing Sign Language at co-op instead since he has to take another core class there. Electives - drama & media arts classes at co-op. And since he is dropping both karate and baseball after 10 years this summer, he has decided to do some running, ice skating, and hanging out at the trampoline park for fitness. Over the summer he's doing an Irish History class based on his own interests and is getting Civics out of the way with some books and TTC lectures. Otherwise, I've decided that we're taking the summer off from schooling. I'm feeling a little burned out. One thing I do know that we're going to do schedule-wise next year is to block schedule by quarters in English and then do Chemistry first semester and history second semester. I want to focus on fewer classes at one time. The co-op classes are mostly a joke work-load wise (except drama), so I think this might be a good balance for next year. At least, I really hope so. The schedule should look something like this: Summer Irish History Civics Fall Semester Saxon Algebra 2 Conceptual Chemistry Sign Language Bible Media Arts 1st quarter - research paper 2nd quarter - writing/grammar Spring Semester Saxon Algebra 2 World History Sign Language Bible Media Arts Drama 3rd quarter - literature/vocab 4th quarter - research paper OR a different writing module Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Girls' Mom Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I think we are mostly planned. The girls are starting to go their separate ways as far as interests and the focus of their school work. Sarah had a very heavy year this year, so she gets to go lighter next year. She plans on going into Microbiology or Forensic Science, so we are trying to get the math and science in for her so she can start the program at college without taking extra math. English: American Lit. (co-op class) Math: Ask Dr.Callahan Algebra II with Pre-Cal Science: Chemistry (co-op class) They've pretty much finished all the history requirements for our state, so we are focusing on the science and math for her the next two years, along with prepping for the ACT. Maybe American Gov./Econ this year, we haven't decided. Miranda has her heavier year this year. She is thinking about going into video production in college, so she's trying some of that out. English: EIL Math: Algebra II (TT) Science: Chemistry (co-op) Spanish III (co-op) Programming (co-op) Sound Production (DE) Intro to Desktop Audio/Video (DE) (She has also started running the sound booth at church this summer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
