Murrayshire Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I posted ours on K-8 Board as well.... but I'll post here too for Logic Board. Next year I won't be teaching at co-op and the kids have asked for a break anyways to get back to "home" schooling. I still might try teaching a few classes, but at home, for science and writing/literature. We'll see. Here is what ds and I have been thinking about for 6th grade: btw, this is my kid who doesn't want to grow up and just loves being a kid...... he's not wanting to be a middle schooler so we are going to ease into this stage. I'm letting him call the shots with some subjects! Math: CLE 5/6 Spelling: AAS (I may create a student book for him to work independently or use Phonetic Zoo on my shelf) Writing: IEWs new World History Theme book(coming out in summer) with Bravewriter sprinkled in..... he is enjoying our Bravewriter Co-op class this year! Taking a grammar break for sixth grade. He has completed FLL 1-4 and is almost through Jr. AG...... We'll just discuss grammar through writing. He has earned it! History: Oak Meadow 7th grade World History..... folding in Project Passport with a quick unit on Greece/Rome at his request. Literature: OM lit list......replacing some with what we have already..... finding BW Arrow or Boom guides for the ones he picks. Summer of the Monkeys Shakespeare Play ? Biography of Charles Dickens; Oliver Twist or A Christmas Carol Lyddie Amelia Earhart Mama's Bank Account Journey to America Helen Keller Goodbye, Vietnam Zlata's Diary A Single Shard Throw in short stories and Poetry Science: It's going to be hard to top Elements and Carbon Chemistry that I am teaching at co-op this year. Ds has loved it! He decided on OM 5th grade Science...... he wanted a more general science for 6th. OM will include Environmental, Life, & Physical. We'll throw in Ellen McHenry where we can! Spanish: our wonderful Tudor Fallacy Detective, continue Art, Guitar, Krav Maga/Fight Club, Typing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And finish RS G (yes, I'm a little out of order on my math stuff) Science: BJU 6 streaming (and maybe read Tiners astronomy because my dd loves astronomy) History: No Clue!!! Tempted to use something from master books. Maybe with lots of book choices from ToG Latin: CAP L4C B Spanish: Galore Park 2 Piano lessons and swim team and AHG and awana and golf And I so wish I could add art! I looked at creating a masterpiece and it looked so fun! Sigh. But I don't get to art very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
