gradchica Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) My first middle schooler—uncharted territory over here. He’s highly motivated and this is mostly his plan Math: Singapore Dimensions 8 Science: Novare Intro to Physics? Or Physical science ? Any advice—I think his math should be up to the intro to physics concurrent Alg 1 recommendation but not sure if it’s too much. Latin: MP 4th Form Logic: CAP Discovery of Deduction Greek: MP Elementary Greek 1. Maybe via Schole Academy. Spanish: I’m writing my own curriculum for students of Latin, la MP First Form Latin. We will see. Lit: MP 8th Classical Studies: MP 8th Writing: Writing w Skill 2 Grammar: continue GFWTM, MP Grammar Recitation 5 Geography: MP Geography 3 Extras: Boy Scouts, National Junior Classical League (planning on NLE, NLVE, Mythology, and Roman Civ exams, plus conferences), competitive soccer, cross country, track, and rock climbing team. Continue Piano lessons, advance to concert band for clarinet, possibly begin saxophone.

I got the Advanced version for my then 8th grader, but he needed another way of learning, so we switched halfway through. I let it sit around for a couple years, and now my current guy is more sciency and hands on, so we're doing it with him. (all of it, even though he's not in the printed age group). We aren't doign some parts (such as the logbook and tests), just reading and experiments. I really like it, I love that there's an experiment almost each day and most are easy, some are different steps of a larger experiment/project. It's made for the child to do independantly, though he did need help a lot. I wish it were a little more parent friendly as it seems to take awhile for me to step in periodically to make sure he's learning. But overall, it's wonderful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been looking at Guest Hollow's geography, too! Our oldest keeps asking for more geography but he doesn't just want a workbook. He solidly knows the world map. This looks perfect. After lots of looking, thinking, and chatting I think we'll to half the highschool course next year (8th gr) and the second half in 9th.

3MisMe Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 My boy is rapidly turning into a teen! Here's our current plan. Analytical Grammar Lost Tools of Writing (Co-op) Tapesty of Grace Yr 3 (history, geography, literature, worldview) Fallacy Detective Latin (Second Form, Cambridge, or something else. This is my only ??? in the plan. He's finishing FFL) Finishing MUS Zeta. Doing all of MUS Pre-Algebra Guest Hollow Botany (Labs in Co-op) Hoffman Acadamy Piano Weekly art class Jiu-Jitsu 3-4x a week Family Study (Bible, Catechism, devotions, art studies, poetry reading, memory work, etc) This is our first time through 7th grade so feedback is welcome. I want him to be challenged, learn a lot, and really enjoy the year. I don't want him to be bored either with dry content or too much or too little of a load. School isn't a struggle for him.
