Farrar Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 My kids are still adding to the shopping list for this semester :lol: I still have PVC pipes for his ROV and a chem lab kit to buy for DS10 for this semester. Ditto. Not on the PVC, but just on the fact that this semester is still evolving! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysalis Academy Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Ditto. Not on the PVC, but just on the fact that this semester is still evolving! Oh, here too! We keep adding and dropping things. We've changed materials or plans for every single subject my 8th grader is studying, except Rhetoric. At the level of detail, our plans have been in constant flux. But they've followed the general vision set out in planning last year, and the ch-ch-changes don't stop me from planning for next year! In fact, one of the consequences of planning for next year is that we're really excited, and we're going to start some of the subjects we've planned for next year in April. :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madteaparty Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Currently my plan is... do more school, learn some stuff. Y'all are all crazy with these specifics at this point! We're barely halfway through this year. :laugh: (No offense meant for anyone who gets joy from planning!) Pretty much everything is outsourced here next year; I only plan this far in advance because there's something like 6 different providers on their very own class announcement schedule, and some that meet several times per week. So, logistics. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake and Pi Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I've got most of next year nailed out, I think. Between all the kids we'll be using: Math: Beast Academy and Right Start Reading/vocab/values: McGuffey's Eclectic Readers plus library books for fun and interest Writing: WWE and... not sure what I'm doing with dysgraphic DS#1. He'll do the narrations from WWE, but for actual writing I've got some serious research to do. They are interested in cursive, so we will definitely work on reading cursive, but I'm not sure I'm ready to really dive into writing it with everything else going on. Spelling: trying out Spelling Power, will adjust/move on as necessary Grammar: FLL History: SOTW Science: Mystery Science, and if we manage to run out of MS lessons, we'll move into the RS4K middle school Building Blocks series Foreign language: the kids have voted for Spanish. I checked out Power Glide Junior Spanish, Learn A Language Spanish, and Teach Them Spanish from our umbrella school's curric library. No idea how that's going to play out.Extras: gymnastics, hopfully piano, lego robotics, and DS#4 may be starting developmental/special ed preschool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked on Amazon at the Hebrew books you are using and I really like them. I've been using "Z'man Likro: Time to Read Hebrew Volume One" to teach my son Hebrew since we are religious school drop outs (well at least for now, it's 45 each way and he would have started going 2 times a week this year and it was just too hard on our schedule), so I'm teaching him at home and doing Hebrew in our foreign language spot instead of Spanish this year. I wasn't sure where to go after the basics of learning to read and write the alphabet. There is some vocab in our book which is nice, but it's just some basics here and there. I think I will definitely look at your titles for next year. Thank you for sharing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeaganS Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Since we school year round and just start the next thing, these are my plans for "the next thing." Some of these we just barely started the previous level (like FLL and WWE). Only a few subjects will be starting up for the first time, most noticeably Latin. They will all have birthdays by then too. :) DD7: Math: CLE 3, Ronit Bird Reading: Finish the Mensa list and more free-reading Grammar: FLL3 Writing: WWE3 Spelling: All About Spelling 3 Geography: Complete Books of Maps and Geography Latin: I Speak Latin, Getting Started with Latin DD5: Math: Miquon Green and Yellow, MEP 2 Reading: finish OPGTR, start Mensa reading list and free reading Writing: WWE2 Grammar: FLL1 Spelling: All About Spelling 2 Geography: EM Beginning Geography Latin: wants to tag along with I Speak Latin. We'll see. DD3: Math: Miquon Red, MEP 1 Reading: OPGTR Handwriting: Handwriting Without Tears PreK All Piano: Hoffman Academy (just older two dds) Science: Unschooled (butterfly kit, Snap Circuits, nature study, science tv shows, etc.) History: SOTW 1/2 Edited March 20, 2016 by Meagan S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the plans are: Ds - 6th grade: Jousting Armadillos (if this ends up being too easy, may look at AoPS Pre-Algebra) Mosdos Pearl Brave Writer Partnership Writing (and some Jot It Down projects since we'll likely do them all together) Words on the Vine Spelling Workout DD - 4th grade MM4 EM Skill Sharpeners Math 4th grade EM Skill Sharpeners Spell & Write 4th grade Brave Writer Jot It Down (and some Partnership Writing since we'll likely do them all together) Mosdos Ruby Together: Brave Writer as noted above. :) Ancients using History Odyssey (Probably Level 2 which I'll adapt for dd, but using SOTW) Science I'm putting together my own. Probably habitats, microscope, botany. Also general nature study and we do a STEM 4-H club. Harmony Fine Arts Music - choir, learning to read music then guitar for dd and keyboard for ds PE - Tai Kwan Do, swimming lessons Spanish using Duolingo (keep editing because I keep realizing I forgot something) Edited March 21, 2016 by Where's Toto?
