hollyhock Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I almost feel like I shouldn't reply because I have no experience; just plans for 9th grade for this fall. Nevertheless, this is what I have for him: Math - finish TT Algebra 1 and begin MUS Geometry Literature - conglomeration of a book list, some literature from Notgrass history and R&S Reading to cover short stories, etc. Writing - Writing to the Point by Kerrigan, narrations and essays across curriculum and learn research paper, will also include some spelling work at his request Science - Apologia Biology History - Ancients using Notgrass Exploring World History and some other things, part of this will count toward World Geography Bible - parts of Notgrass and R&S PE - hockey and whatever else he does 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) I feel like we only got half a year out of 9th grade. My dd14 has a birthday right on the cut-off date for our state, so I don't think it'll be devastating to take an extra semester. Or who knows, maybe some executive functioning skills will kick in and she will catch up on everything...9th grade:-FLVS Biology (semester 1)Campell's Biology (semester 2)--this will continue into the fall.-American Lit & Composition (co-op)--these were 2 classes and she dropped out over Christmas. I'm calling it a credit for both.-Spanish 2--TPS-Drama-Art (watercolor and acrylics)-Math--some Jacob's Algebra, some Coconuts & Crocodiles--to be continued.-Model UN (one semester at co-op)--not totally sure if I can put this on a transcript, but she learned soo much.Some random creative writing and costume design classes. ETA: This summer she's doing a community theater program and FLVS Driver's ed 10th grade plans: -Algebra: Finish C&C and Chuckles begin Geometry: A Guided Inquiry (with Math Without Borders)? -English:Help for High School (BraveWriter) Literature List from EiL and Boomerang -Art of Argument -Spanish 3 (BYU Independent Study) -Maybe Rosetta Stone Japanese and/or Japanese 1 (BYU IS) -History: American Odyssey + supplements -Science: finish Campbell's Biology Conceptual Chemistry She also wants to do a science fiction literature class that BYU has, but there's already too much on her plate....

TKDmom Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Can I ask why you are switching providers for Spanish? I will be in the market for Span 4 next year, so I am always interested in feedback. TPS was too intense for her. I think it's a good program, but too rigorous for a kid who is totally oblivious to real world things like deadlines. It looks like the BYU high school classes are self-paced (or at least flexible) so maybe she'll have the time to absorb more vocabulary. Edited to remove personal info.

EppieJ Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Not sure how helpful this will be for you, but here's ours: Grade 9: Algebra 1 World History Earth Science Cartoon Animation World Civilizations through Minecraft (Where was this when I was in school?!) ASB All of the above were outsourced to our local PPP. English: WriteShop 1 with a lit component Elective: Study Skills for Students in High School PE: TaeKwonDo This gave him a total of 6.25 credits with the option of added home components to be done over the summer (history & science) to bump that up to 6.75. Grade 10: Pacific Rim Experience (Social Studies which will also give him state history) Biology French 1 Animate Awesomeness (as a TA) Sculpture ASB (possibly running for VP) All of the above will be outsourced to the PPP. English: Lightning Lit/Comp: Speech and Early-Mid American Lit PE: TaeKwonDo Geometry: ? Possibly Math U See since I already have some components. This was supposed to be outsourced, but he got wait-listed for the class :( I am not a mathy person so suggestions are appreciated. Violin: If we can fit it into the day/budget This would give him around 7.5 credits Edited July 5, 2016 by EppieJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I wasn't planning to issue quarter credits but I am not sure how else to compute PE credits as they were 1-unit DE classes. 0.33 looks even worse so I'm sticking to 0.25!If it's any comfort, I know our local high school issues PE credits by the quarter, rather than semester, like all the other credits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GThomas Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I wish I had known about this before I bought Oak Meadow biology. It looks really good! They just launched it. We have used them for middle school science and really liked the program (but I tweaked by removing most of the writing work and made flashcards for my kids). I'm not sure about how colleges will accept the virtual labs. I have gone through Late Nite Labs tutorial and it's impressive. They are not demonstrations and you can make mistakes. I believe CA State universities are using them in their college classes. I think ES does have lab recommendations you can do at home instead.

We did FLVS biology last fall (which has national accreditation), and I'm totally disillusioned with what constitutes science "with labs". The virtual labs were a waste of time. The only benefit I could see was learning how to write lab reports. <shrug> I think if they can be accepted by colleges, a virtual lab that has real interaction should count. Off to check out your new resource... :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also discovered this resource but you have to go through a school for the lab work: http://www.ucscout.org/courses/biology. I did send them a message asking if they would accept wet labs done through Late Nite Labs. I havent heard back yet. But I think we'll stay with Elemental Science so she can go at her own pace.

rutamattatt Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) This is our first year in the "high school" realm, but so far this is what 9th grade will look like: Bible - Notgrass & continue our Bible reading plan Algebra I - co op World History - Notgrass LA - Easy Grammar, Literature list with study guides (probably Progeny Press) from Notgrass World History, and Composition (outsourced) Biology I - co op German - I am still deciding. It's making me crazy! My sister has a masters in German, and doesn't think the OSU program is a good idea, but I haven't landed on anything else yet. (Did I mention it is making me crazy?) Art History - Spine is Janson's History of Art for Young People Intro to Photography - Creative Photography Lab by Sonheim Health and Wellness - Christian Paths to Health and Wellness History of Rock-n-Roll - Spine is Music Lab: We Rock by Jason Hanley Bible, art, photography, health, and music are all .5 credits. In theory we will tackle two in the fall and two in the spring, but we will have to see how that shakes out IRL. No idea yet of what this workload will look like and how DS will handle it!

Holly Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) My DD will be in 9th. We are switching over to Memoria Press materials, so I'm combining them for several subjects this year. I'm hoping to have her complete their 8M core the following year (for 10th grade), with a few changes. 9th grade Math: MUS Pre-Algebra--she really struggles here, so my goal is to get her through Algebra II before graduation. Latin: Visual Latin, Henle 1 (with MP guides), and Lingua Latina for extra reading English: part of WWS 1 & MP's CC: Fable. She'll continue with either WWS or CC: Narrative over the summer (her choice). MP literature guides, Our Mother Tongue, and Vocab from Classical Roots will complete this credit. I have Killgallon Sentences scheduled as well, but it may be too much for her. History: We'll be using MP's 200 Questions/Guerber/SOTW 4 American history course as a family. I'll be adding in some extra readers on grade level. I think by adding some writing assignments, it should be plenty for a credit. Bible/Classical Studies: A Bible History, D'Aulaire's Greek Myths, and Famous Men of Greece--I think this will end up being .5 credit? Science: Physics 101 DVDs along with Apologia's Physical Science Art: Harmony Fine Arts grade 9 w/ Artistic Pursuits Piano & PE 10th grade Math: Algebra I (MUS) Latin: VL 2, continue with Henle 1 English: Continue with WWS 2 or MP's CC, MP's Literature guides Geography III (MP) Bible/Classical Studies: Christian Studies IV/Book of the Ancient World (MP) and Book of the Ancient Greeks/Iliad/Odyssey (MP) Science: Biology of some sort? Art: HFA Grade 10 w/ Artistic Pursuits Logic: MP Traditional Logic I & II Edited July 6, 2016 by Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Science: Biology Ck-12 (includes teacher text, student text, worksheets, tests.) Illustrated Guide to to Home Biology Experiments Will use Guest Hollow as a planner for what to do, when. Math: Jann in TX's online Geometry class. Her website is myhomeschoolmathclass.com She has another teacher and we'll be using the other teacher. Fine Arts: Photography using a Great Course as the spine and my own knowledge as a serious hobbyist/semi-professional photographer. This will be completed over this summer and next summer for 1/2 credit total. Bible: Various books about our beliefs. The bible itself. English: The Lost Tools of Writing--we will read World author books as subject matter for the writing assignments. I'll use shmoop and spark notes and cliff's notes to further study the literature we read. Analytical Grammar for Highschool, which is one worksheet every 2 weeks, just to keep the terminology fresh. History: World History, Our Human Story as the spine. Three Great Courses: A Brief History of the World, Turning Points in Modern History, High School Level World History. Home Ec: We have begin pointedly teaching our son everything we can think of for being an independent adult. It will take all 4 years to achieve this credit, as we squeeze projects in wherever we can. This summer we've focused on laundry, making dinner for the family, and doing an assortment of projects around the house--adding locks to doors, cleaning out the dryer vent, adding oil to the car, trying to fix the refigerator, etc. Next year we'll focus on sewing and more on car maintenence. The summer between 11th and 12th it will be personal finance and household budgeting. Spanish: A local co-op provides a class with a retired Spanish teacher. Elective: Astronomy or Ancient Egyptian History. These sound hefty, but will be light weight classes. We will use some Great Courses lectures and keep it light. He will answer the questions provided by the Great Courses people, but I won't expect a lot of retention or reports, etc. This is just to learn for the fun of it. P.E.
