Planning thread for 8th grade 2022-2023


Recommended Posts

I really love to hear what other moms are doing.  It helps me plan my year to see sights and curriculum that I have not used before.  

For next year have the following so far: 

English writing and literature with a private teacher that comes to our home.  They will study Beowulf, Canterbury Tales, etc.  She will also do Wordly Wise and Caesar's English.  

Spanish 2 with Easy Spanish Step by Step, private italki tutor, and Voces online curriculum

Mandarin with an italki tutor and Chineseforus.  (I would love to hear of any online Chinese classes that someone just loves.)

Algebra 1 Teaching Textbooks and a private tutor

Choir 

History will be American.  She will sit in on her sister's high school American history class.

Acting and horse back riding for extra curriculars. 

Economics over the summer with the Uncle Remus books and maybe some Dave Ramsey. 

Science will be a mix of Ellen McHenry Basement Classroom

My last middle schooler!!  It is a wonderful accomplishment and a little sad for me at the same time.

We start 8th next January. 

ClRC LA3 writing/Lit only - he can write but needs to learn to do it without me holding his hand and to relax and gain confidence.

ClRC Latin

Derek Owen's Algebra 1

Various local outsourced courses plus other resources for History and science.

Compuscholar course 

Dance and Piano

May tag along with older brother for some things if he has time. Since it takes us 3.5 hours to do Latin, Maths and English plus one chore and 30 minutes exercise so we really only have time for computing and reading in the afternoon.  We skip maths and Latin once a week to fit in history or science so we probably won't have time.
