happypamama Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Mine is only in eighth, but our tentative plan is: Geometry -- AOPS Medieval history -- History of the Medieval World, with guide LA -- WWS2-3, medieval literature Biology -- Miller-Levine Spanish -- still working on specifics  For electives, she wants to continue Latin and music history/guitar/keyboard. Both of those are her favorites and should be fun and not too difficult electives.  She's been doing an online typing program this year. I need to check her progress with it and see how close she is to finishing. I would like her to finish it because I think it's a really useful skill to have.  I'm also still figuring out how I want to do family art study and composer study, whether I want to insist that she participate or not. I don't want her to feel left out, but I am concerned about hours in her day, especially since a family Tolkien study will be part of our day. Guess I need to talk to her about that.

GoodGrief Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ninth grade was the year my oldest tried public school :-), but for #2, she did Write at Home Comp 2, Derek Owens precalc, Thinkwell AP US Govt and Politics, Apologia Physics (in conjunction with a local lab class taught by a retired high school physics teacher), Mandarin at the local high school (we should have stuck with the tutor!), and a variety of PE and music electives (which I called courses that year, because they met specific requirements for our charter school, but became extracurriculars for subsequent years :-) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopmom Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) 0.5 Ecology - Holt Environmental Science (with No Turning Back, Undeniable Evolution)I'm curious if you plan to use the current version with the teacher stuff all online? We're using Holt for Bio this year & I'm thinking of adding Env Science to next year's line up as an extra science elective. I think I'd rather have an old school teachers manual- printing everything from the website is driving me crazy:). But it's harder to find all the right edition teacher test booklets &'stuff used online. We may just read the text, answer the section & chapter end questions, & supplement with other books like E.O.Wilson's Diversity of Life, and not bother with the online content.  But, Holt may be too easy for my kiddo in 11th, since he did Env Sci already in Jr. High. May wind up using a college text or DE at CC. Can't decide. Otoh- he has a tough line up next year, so an easier Sci elective could be a nice break... Or, he'd be bored & annoyed with me.

We are using Henle 1 right now. She has done some Visual Latin, but it did not seem to be sticking well. She is totally on her own in Latin, though. Perhaps she would have done better if I were involved. But we are trying Lingua Latina to see if that works better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 DD will be 9th next year, and I'm not fully set on everything. I'm trying to stay open minded until I get and get through TWTM 4th Edition!  For now, it's looking like  Geometry (Saxon) Human Geography (possibly AP) Oak Meadow US History (maybe) Biology (possibly CK12) Breaking the Barrier French I  I'm waiting to see what our co-op offerings for English will be before planning that out too much.  Every year, we spend a good chunk of time on health, nutrition, food, environmental science, and other similar topics.  I haven't decided which or whether or how to work things into her transcript.   We won't get the schedule layout for co-op until late Spring.  I'm sure she'll have Musical Theater, but then she'll have to make choices between many worthy electives and possibly English/Science classes.   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad S Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 This current year for us. May evolve, especially since we're traveling a lot this year, but roughly:  1. Writing: Writing with a Thesis by Skwire and Skwire and other material. Maybe a tutor for awhile.  1a. A student-led public speaking club to make this into somewhat of a communication "class"/credit  2. Ancient History using Great Courses History of the Ancient World: A Global Perspective as a spine, misc. readings including some coordinated with Great Books literature and some European travel in the fall. FYI, we're using SWB's History of the Ancient World book as a discussion point to discuss a different perspective on what's included in a history course vs. what's not.  3. Ancient Literature using a Great Books approach similar to WTM recommendations [i'll try to update with a link to our readings here]  4. Math. AoPS Intermediate Algebra (text only). We may abandon the AoPS and go to Foerster's Precalculus (then Foerster Calculus as an alternative sequence)  5. Science. Home grown.  6. Spanish, roughly Spanish 4 (at home), reading short stories, a little bit of writing, grammar, and cultural studies. We speak a lot of Spanish at home, so this is just starting to fill in gaps.   1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deee Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 We have two weeks of year 9 left! It looked like this (with some nagging, ranting and hair-tearing on my part and some grunting, whinging and general teenage vagueness on his) Â English: Finished off Analytical Grammar, punctuation using Eats Shoots and Leaves, Literary Lessons from Lord of the Rings, homeschool bookclub Maths: Cambridge Maths (Australian curriculum). We're a bit behind in this one, but I'd rather have a solid foundation. Science: Chemistry (Open2Study online, part of Open Universities Aust), Physics using Conceptual Integrated Science (this is FANTASTIC!!!) Human anatomy and physiology, Cellular Biology Geography: globalisation, Mapping the World With Art, basic geography skills History: World History Odyssey, Modern Times with Australian add-ons (up to 1918 - we'll complete this next year). I really like this supplier- I wish they had more level 3 stuff Commerce: Personal finance, introduction to International Economics, consumer law Drama: local production company: film making, production, three plays, various other performances, acting techniques Guitar IT: designed and built (and saved up for) gaming computer, lots of fiddling and fixing and building Mac and PC systems for friends and family, some 3D and games design. Study skills, a few read alouds, and some exercise with DH Â Wow - I've been berating us for not getting everything done. I feel better now I've written all that down. No wonder we are both knackered! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daijobu Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Ohhh tell me about this. Which books? What is EEME?  I'm always happy to respond to someone with a pair of dancing bacon in her sig!   EEME is a subscription-based electronics curriculum.  Every month he sends you a project to kit.  You put it together by following his sequence of short youtube videos on his website.  Along the way, he has online quizzes to test your understanding.  It's a big win for us.  EEME is particularly good for either younger students (late elementary or so), or students who need a lot of hand-holding.  If you don't know a resistor from a capacitor, this is for you.  Some of the materials (like the mini-breadboard) are reused each month, but he will send new components each month.   It's a great place to start before moving on to other materials like Make: Electronics by Charles Platt, of which I am also a huge fan.  For more info about resources I've used for electronics, check out this old thread. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariaT Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 When my oldest DS was a freshman we tried to do mostly online. Boy, did we really learn that was a mistake!

Russian Literature-- coop class US Constitution -- coop class--1 semester Shakespeare -- read 3 plays and performed in Antony and Cleopatra-- 1 semester  DS number 2: we learned better, but not by very much. Notice there was no math. We let him take a break after doing Geometry and Alg. II/Trig at the same time in 8th grade. That ended up being a HUGE mistake.  AP Psych-- NU CTD AP English Comp -- coop class Chemistry online-- NU CTD Chemistry labs at Coop War and Peace -- coop, 1 semester Spanish III and a separate Spanish conversation class--2 different tutors Post-modern Art History -- Coop, 1 semester Art history ancient to Renaissance -- Coop, 1 semester Graphic design -- online -- 1 semester  DD is in 8th grade. Have we learned anything? Will the third time be the charm? The plan so far:  AP Psych -- NU CTD Pre-Calculus -- Teaching Textbooks Spanish III -- tutor Environmental Science -- NU CTD 19th C. Gothic Literature: Frankenstein and other monstrous literature (small coop, still under development) 19th C. history/social movements (packaged with the Frankenstein class, still under development) Bioethics (packaged with Frankenstein, may be seminar-style) Violin and orchestra  Maria             Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loesje22000 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 We became official grade 9 today :) (dd passed the grade 8 requirements and has fullfilled the Flemish homeschool requirements!) Â Dd picked the Latin-Modern Languages track and will have integrated Math en Integrated Science exams in grade 12 I'm not sure if we will continue with what we are doing now. Â Latin, Dutch, English, French and German are required in this track, we will try to add ancient Greek. History and Geography are also required. Â Obviously we don't have the 'one hour per subject per day' system here so I am working on a schedule to fit this all in. Â We try to add subjects of interest like Philosphy, Psychology, Ethics, Civics... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
