LauraClark Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Ok, I know y'all said you weren't ready for this yet, but let's brainstorm some ideas for next year. My current thoughts for our 4th ds: LA: I'll probably start OPG half way through the year when he can grasp most letters. Do a letter a week thing before that. I use some confessions of a homeschooler stuff, make up some of my own. I'm kicking around the idea of R&S G-L. I like their A-F series, but the next series always looks like more writing than my littles are capable of. Math: maybe start R&S 1 half way through the year. Otherwise diy stuff (dollar tree workbooks, dot to dot, just counting to 100) Bible: with the family in the morning and finish R&S B. Other: FIAR books and activities that I diy, including some kind of weekly craft. He really wants to join my art classes next year, but he'll be a young K in a class where the youngest is 1st grade...we'll see... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momof3boys Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) This is what I’m thinking so far. DS4 will also be joining in on science, social studies, and enrichment. Phonics: All About Reading 1 Handwriting: Handwriting Without Tears K Math: Finish Math With Confidence K a couple months into the school year and then start Math With Confidence 1 or Singapore Primary 1 Science: Elemental Science Intro to Science Social Studies: Core Knowledge K Art, Composer Study, Poetry, Literature, Bible: Gentle + Classical Primer or Memoria Press Enrichment. Can’t decide on this one! Edited March 13 by Momof3boys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebcoola Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Happy Phonics Five in a row Right start maybe I want something with lots of games Light and fun is the plan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrymum Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Dd will be solidly 5 in September. She loves to be read to, knows her letter sounds can blend 3 letter words, understands 2 digit numbers, understands addition and subtraction and can do it with an abacus, can subitize to 7 (8,9, and 10 she tends to count on...). She generally likes school....I don't want to push though so we'll see. Math and phonics are my stand by options. Here is a tennitive plan RightStart A and/or B (probably fast through parts of A then start B...but again not sure) All About Reading 1 (just for practice reading 3 letter words) Outdoor secrets maybe from SCM Probably Little Hearts for His Glory for small moter, handwriting, Bible, history.....

countrymum Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) RightStart has a different sequence than some... it's a bit hard to jump in and out of. I switched oldest a few times and had to back fill some upper elementary topics. Like fractions as division is introduced in like C and then built on so that by F it's common sense....stuff like that. Sometimes I had a bit of trouble seeing where it was going and what was important. It really does make sense in the end and customer service is really helpful. Also oldest struggles some with school so that doesn't make it easier. We slowed down and reviewed more often, but he seems to be doing well now partway through H. @rebcoola Edited March 19 by countrymum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
