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 (edited) Logic of English A w/cursive Five in a row Right start Light and fun hopefully Edited May 20 by rebcoola 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...
skctgbrlis Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 My little guy will be 5 in November, so this is really a PreK year. I think he'll be ready for K work, though. Kindergarten Math with Confidence Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons Reason for Handwriting K Around the World with Picture Books (Beautiful Feet) He's #10, and we've been homeschooling for a really really long time! I wish I had more littles coming up to plan for! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update I think we won't do heat of Dakota. Instead she will probably listen to older brothers medieval picture books, listen to the Vos children's Bible, sit in on older brothers Simply Charlotte Mason USA geography picture books and then I'll pick a picture book a week just for her and little brother....maybe following Wee Folk art maybe a SCM preschool recommendation maybe just one I have. We will also try to do 1 nice craft a week with 2 littles who aren't babies. I will do Outdoor Secrets with her she will like it. RightStart A not B Still AAR 1 I'm going for not pushy K year;) Also I have a child's copybook reader as a pdf from SCM. I like it but lines are too big for my kids....I got this idea to shrink it so we're trying it. Also Rod and Staff ABC series but the later ones as she wants.

dauntless dandelion Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) OK, my DD4 won't be 5 until November so around here that means she'll be PK4 next year. BUT, she's driving everyone crazy so I need to teach her to read. (It's not her fault. She gets no attention all day because I'm schooling her older two sisters and taking care of her baby brother 😞 ). I'm just going to try to do K with her next year. Reading: OPGtTR Math: Singapore K Handwriting: Zaner-Bloser K Literature: Hopefully a lot of read alouds with mom, but also I'm going to set her up with a Yoto Mini Activities: Chorus, ice skating, ballet, swimming Edited May 16 by dauntless dandelion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
