It was called Actions and Reactions, I think. He has more interest than the apologia spine covered so he read through Ellen McHenry’s The Elements and Carbon Chemistry as well. We are reading the Tiner History of Physics as a read aloud to go along with the physics portion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Keeper Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Next year's 6th grader... Math: R&S 6, with Khan Academy for fun Grammar/Spelling: R&S Lit (wth a geography/ world cultures focus): my crazy quilt version of Sonlight's Eastern Hemisphere core, adding in Hungry Planet, Material World, and Halliburton's Book of Marvels because I can. History: Abraham Lincoln's World, then the first half of SOTW 4 Latin: either Latina Christiana, Latin for Children, Getting Started with Latin, or Latin Book One (Scott and Horn). Or maybe Latin Prep. Because I have them all. (insert maniacal laughter here). đŸ˜‰ Science: finishing up an older version of Sonlight's science E (our older version has a few more books, he is doing about 1/2 the books this year)... Fine Arts: drawing/painting from life (pencils, watercolors) -- some for nature study, some just for fun. music/composer study from the AO site -- I almost never stick to AO's schedule, but I like the convenience of having it all right there with links and everything...

SilverMoon Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Eep! My youngest is here for my sixth pass through 6th grade. He's a bit asynchronous and dysgraphic. When I asked him if there was something he'd really like to dig into next year he got excited and yelled, "Star Wars!" đŸ˜‚Â Math: leaning toward AoPS pre-alg, with the books and Alcumus (he's finishing Beast 5 soon) English: Grammar for the Well Trained Mind, Megawords for spelling (slowly plugging through a page a day), .... no idea where we're going for writing. He'll have Treasured Conversations done by then. Science: physics and astronomy, books tbd but definitely The Science of Star Wars History/literature: We might just scratch formal history this year. He's already finished the Story of the World series and he's done a thick US history this year. If I can find good materials for history of sci fi aimed lower than highschool we'll probably go that way. Otherwise we'll grab the prehistory and/or evolution unit studies from Build Your Library because he's really interested in them, and fill the year with other lit units like Hobbit, Narnia, Harry Potter, etc. Maybe movie special effects?

Bible: Explorer's Bible Study or Christian Studies (Memoria Press) Math: Saxon, with Prodigy for fun English: IEW something or other with family friends, AAS whatever # she's on in the fall Science: Astronomy and earth science (maybe in Spanish, but at least supplemented with Spanish materials) History/lit: Medieval to early Renaissance (supplemental Spanish readings) Spanish: R & S spelling, writing prompts Chinese: Lingobus, conversation class, Skritter (character practice) Extracurricular: orchestra (violin), mariachi (trumpet), basketball (maybe, fall), soccer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered starting it myself, but decided to keep my head in the sand about having a middle schooler next year Me too. I thought I would let people who know what they're doing start it up đŸ˜‰ My plan thus far: Bible: I think we figured it out. I'm going to be reading a children's Bible with the younger kids and dh is going to be doing a Bible study with the older ones by just reading a section and discussing (yay!) Reading: various books suggested from wtm and various lists I have. I'll probably be purchasing a lot of them since our library is sadly lacking. Grammar: Analytical Grammar and The Grammar of Poetry (we started that book this year and I think he's enjoying it) Spelling: continue Dictation Day by Day. That seems to be working really well for him. Writing: Writing Strands- we'll be about half way through book 5. I'm also planning on scheduling a quarterly science and quarterly history paper. I meant to do that this year, but we didn't really get to it. I'll have him type some papers so he can continue typing practice. Writing is my personal weak point, so I'm always nervous about this one. Math: R&S 6 Science: continue Berean Builders. History: I'll read aloud SOTW 2 and The Discovery of New Worlds (Synge) and have him outline Kingfisher. We also have a history book of that time period from Christian Liberty Press-I may have him read that too. He's a history buff and would probably do it on his own time. Fallacy Detective Greek: we went through a few levels of Hey Andrew and now we're just reviewing the words once a week. I may go back to a little book work, but it had gotten too intense for him. I may just continue word review until high school. Latin: we're going through Latin's Not so Tough (I think he's in level 4?) and will continue that. I also started GSWL with him and ds8 together once a week. That's a good change of pace and we'll do that just to change it up a little. Geography: seterra.com -he's got the countries down so we'll focus on capitals and physical geography. We've also been doing GeographyNow on YouTube and he's requested we do that 3x a week. Sure! Piano Art: daily drawing based on New Augsburg and a weekly art class that I'm hoping to put together for middle school. Fun Friday stuff: learning a little ASL, maybe some nature study (learning the names of trees, flowers, birds in the area). We don't do a lot of our regular stuff on Fridays so we can add in these type of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m so tired!! I need something more open and go especially with all the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are guided spreads. So there are a few movie and book report pages, pages for flora and fauna, a map to label landmarks and cities, draw a comic strip, write an itenerary for travel, a few pages on food including a spread to copy a recipe/prepare the dish/draw the meal and rate it. It prompts you to find all that information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keirin Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) My eldest two will be 6th graders this year (boy/girl twins, 11 years old July 1) and I'm in denial. Here's the (best laid) plan: ELA: Figuratively Speaking with readings from here! At least two Lantern English classes (tbd) OR Center for Lit Elementary Literature w/ writing AND Phonetic Zoo (for spelling)  Math: Singapore Math 6A/6B finish up Beast Academy 5 books Hands on Equations? Keys to... fractions/decimals/percentages? AND Daily Mental Math 6  Latin: Second Form Latin from Memoria Press  History: Ancients for the 2nd time Story Of Civilization Volume 1 Beautiful Feet Books Intermediate Ancient History  Science: Going to try Chemistry with Science Mom in the fall Probably Outschool classes in the spring (for 5th we did classes with Ms. Cribbs on outschool and really liked them, if anyone needs a recommendation!)  Extras: Advanced Scratch Programming at John Hopkins CTY Computer Science Discoveries on Code.org (with mom) EE.ME Electrical Engineering Typetastic for typing practice Continue practicing cursive handwriting  Possibly joining a co-op for some fun extras as well. Likely an art class or two at a local art school. Plenty of time spent at the zoo / science museum and some fun extra field trips as they come up.  Edited June 12, 2022 by keirin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsgardCA Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) I feel like we barely got anything accomplished this year. We'll be switching to family-style unit studies with lots of added hands-on. Math: Switching to TGTB this year. The placement test puts her in level 4. She struggles and could use practice so hopefully this'll do the trick. Science/Nature: Blossom & Root Level 4 Anatomy For the Love of Homeschooling Nature Study Club Social Studies: Canadian History Early Modern - History Odyssey Level UK & US history as it pertains to our Canadian history Canadian Geography - The Great Canadian Adventure smash books World Geography - Layers of Learning Language Arts: TGTB LA 5. Bumping her down to 5 for extra practice. Blossom & Root Level 4 / Brave Writer Arrows / Growing Brave Writers Or maybe Spelling Wisdom 2 & Using Language Well 2 Canadian Handwriting Vocabulary from Classical Roots 6 Extras: French Piano Masterpiece Society - Art School: Drawing 101 ?

Dudley Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Im not decided either but this is my start. I have 2 6th graders next year at two drastically different levels. Together Bible - OT overview with memory verses. Still trying to work this out thinking about Most important thing you will ever study, or MP christian studies. I really want something mostly just for discussion, structure, and review . I want more than just reading, I want to increase their bible literacy. I want incorporate some videos from bible project or what;s in the bible with buck denver. long way to go to figure this out. History - Human Odyssey vol 1. , Ds 1 will do many of the student guide activities Read aloud - selections from SL G Science - Earth science with Science Fusion independent for Ds1, I was hoping to do the online portion for Ds2 but looks like they discontinued. so I may piece together a series of youtube videos for him and then together discuss and do labs DS1 - Math -BJU foundations. 1 day of Singapore word problem review LA -R&S grammar 5, Megawords 3 & 4, Wordly Wise 6 and Word roots (CTC) (Roots to fill in after finishing WW) Writing - possibilities : HO student book writing assignments, Paragraphs for elementary school or IEW ancients Reading - Selections from SL G and Reading and Reasoning 1 (second half) typing.com DS2 -somewhat recently internationally adopted and dyslexic Reading AAR finish 2 continue on... Spelling. Apples and Pears Finish A, move on... Math BJU finish 4 move on.. It feels like his list is too short, but we spend enough time on math and reading that there isn't alot of focus left for more, and hard to believe he will grasp anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now seeing this- I will read the text aloud as a family and I have mapwork from History Odyssey that I will add. I don't do a lot of output for history, I like it being a fun family time, conversational learning. I will probably add in some extra on World Religions from Usborne and a college text I have. This is my 3rd time teaching it đŸ™‚ As for pacing- the first time I taught I spent way too long on the beginning stuff, so didn't get as far as I'd like and we had to speed through the later stuff. The next time I still spent too long on foundational religions and rabbit trails. This time I plan to speed through the beginning and slow down around the Middle Ages. I want to focus on Robin Hood, King Arthur- that time period. I want to spend more time on Vikings, too. My kids all enjoy history, its probably everyone's favorite subject and I think its the way I teach it. You cannot teach all of World History in one year- too much content. My high schoolers just get one more year of World History, so I'm focusing on the parts I think they would enjoy most. My 6th grader is kind of along for the ride đŸ˜‰ I'd you have time for 2 years of World History, slow down and enjoy it!  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Writing was our missing subject upthread. I *think we're going to go with Winning With Writing. I'll order one for a closer look if I can decide on placement. đŸ™ƒ He'll need to go back a grade or two. (dysgraphia) When he needs a break from his main writing book, which he will, we'll use the Killgallon books. The plan is to have him do grammar and writing concurrently this year, instead of staggering them as we have been. It'll increase his pencil to paper volume. If I'm wrong and he's just not ready we'll go back to staggering another year. Edited June 21, 2022 by SilverMoon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brittany1116 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 @Slache gotta say, I have acquired a few this year via Thriftbooks. Mine hasn't found them yet. But I gathered from other threads we had some similar styles/likes, so I was in a slight panic there was something wrong with them that I needed to be aware of or preread for. đŸ¤£ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
