Fine tune my plans

Hi hive,

 

Here I am going over the stuff again and again for my 5th grader ( atleast on paper). She is very advanced in all areas. My DD wants to do medicine. That might change with age. Let me know how this looks for this year.

 

Math: Jacobs Algebra1 supplemented with Aops, Zacarro word problems

Science: Ellen Mchenry chemistry, Itch novel, hunting for elements documentary

Quark chronicles, Cells and the brain

 

Language arts: Literature. 6 with Veristas press, MCT town level , Vocabulary from classical roots 6 and A

Rod and staff spelling 6

 

History: book shark 6

Geography: mp geography 1

 

Language: French

 

Music: piano and voice lesson

 

Competitive figure skater

 

Anything you would change?

I have cover story, CAP, WWS1 and Killgallon. She chose Cover story and I am throwing in Killgallon. Is that ok?

I think all this: Literature. 6 with Veristas press, MCT town level , Vocabulary from classical roots 6 and A

Rod and staff spelling 6 AND Kilgallon and Cover Story is too much language arts.

 

I say this as someone who owns pretty much everything.

 

• MCT town level includes vocabulary so I would use another program
• Cover Story assumes daily journaling, 3x weekly videos + writing assignments. It's all creative writing which is great if you have a kiddo who likes it. My accelerated girl got bored about 1/3 in, and we ditched it. It's pretty time consuming with the videos and assignments.
• Kilgallon goes quickly but I'm not sure if you need it if you are doing MCT too. I used it when we weren't using MCT.
• Does she still need spelling? My DD (7th) will never be a great speller; we've both accepted it, but it's gotten so much better from just writing. I've used AAS, LoE, Megawords, Phonetic Zoo, and others I am forgetting, and we just finally decided to focus on her spelling in her writing.
• I don't know anything about Veritas Press

So is MCT alone good for language arts? Because she doesn't like CE for some reason.
