AngieW in Texas Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 My youngest will be in 5th next year. She's dyslexic and sees a tutor every 3-4 months for an assessment and recommendations for what to use along with frequency of use.  Math - I'm going to try out MathSteps from Houghton-Mifflin combined with Math4Today. The tutor I use for my dd recommended this approach for her math. She'll finish Moving with Math level B tomorrow and she'll start the 4th grade level MathSteps on Wednesday. She'll skip some of the work in MathSteps, but not all. When I looked at placement tests for math programs, MWM put her about the middle of 4th grade in nearly every program I looked at.  Language arts - Sequential Spelling for spelling Megawords for reading/phonics IEW for writing currently using Flashkids LA, but thinking of trying out Hake Grammar 5 for next year, spread out over two years  Literature - 30 minutes daily silent reading 30 minutes daily out loud reading SL Core 3 readaloud (that I read to her)  History: SL Core 3  Science: either Scott Foresman Science 5 or start working in Prentice Hall Science Explorer, my dd gets to choose  Extracurricular: one tumbling class and one gymnastics class each week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm buying Art Paks (which I used with my oldest) to do at home. I also hope to keep in in lessons with an area artist that have proved great this year.....  Extracurricular: soccer; swimming (I hope); horseback riding when we get the chance and other sports-type activities, such as bowling, etc.  Also, for us - Spanish - I plan to use Espanol para Chicos y Grandes; and Geography - I plan to use the Holling books and BF guide/maps.  Regena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFSinIL Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Halfway through 5th grade she comes back home, so do I start over all 5th grade material 9since the public school stuff was not the same as what I would use) or jump ahead to 6th grade? Hey - do both :-) Here is what we start tomorrow for 5th/6th grade: Â Easy Grammar grade 6 - we already did the 4/5 bok in 4th grade. SWO F Teaching Textbooks grade 6 (BUT may test out of first several chapters) and do over the summer, too, so can getinto grade 7 next year. Trail Guide to World Geography - middle level. Biblioplan 1600 - present (just start now and keep going through end of next year's 7th grade) Singapore Science 6. May or may not do over the summer - or finish next year, then go into 7th grade SS. WriteShop (we actually did the first couple bits in 4th grade, so will just restart) Wordly Wise whatever book comes after what we did in 4th grade - since each book builds on the previous book's vocabulary I do not think we can skip ahead!. Â Music - weekly band at school (she is percussion) PE - 4 hours a week (so far) in martial arts. Art - h'mmm, I buy stuff then we never use it. Sigh. I've also got the Building Thinking Skills book level 2 - did level 1 in 4th grade. Reading - we need to finish HP7 , sharing pages as we read aloud - also she will be reading decent kid fiction etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mama Lynx Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Between Latin and CW, I am *very* happy with the amount of grammar we do. Connor is wrapping up Homer A, and in a typical lesson he diagrams; he parses nouns, verbs and adjectives; he rewrites sentences with grammar changes; he takes a diagram and builds a new sentence out of the diagram structure. Â Meanwhile, in Latin he's got to be able to take apart and parse items in order to translate. They reinforce each other nicely. Plus, we go through Harvey's Elementary Grammar with CW, although we just read through the lesson and discuss it. We don't keep a grammar notebook like they recommend, and we've even stopped doing the workbook. Â I'm not familiar with the grammar in WT, though. What do you do in a typical lesson?

DIY-DY Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 JFS - congrats on starting up again! I like the "do the next thing" approach, when one grade/level just doesn't seem to fit across the spectrum. Keep it flexible - go back if you need to, skip ahead if you need to, set cruise and enjoy!

Amy loves Bud Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Well, we are just in Writing Tales I, so I don't think I can compare it to CW Homer, but more likely Aesop A. It's basically going through the 8 parts of speech, and using analysis of the stories to reinforce those lessons. Â Looking at the samples of CW, it does appear to be more in depth on the grammar side of things that WT. Â At this point, I think for 5th I may be dropping Growing with Grammar and Writing Tales, and adding Classical Writing. I'll probably start with Aesop B to be sure we are on task, then move as quickly into Homer as we can. I'll need the Aesop level for Peyton anyway, so I don't mind buying it. Â Any advice is welcome!

DIY-DY Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Well, provided none of us implodes between now and then... for 5th grade (which, yeah, thanks, btw - I hadn't actually *thought* about the fact that my WeeFirstBorn is starting 5th grade next! GAH!) Â Latin: mmm, LfC-B *or* Latin Prep 1 (on the fence, and it's uncomfortable, here) Math: MUS Epsilon History: SOTW III (I hope. I pray. Please let us start that on time.) Bible: we don't have a Bible Study, per se. We read. We talk. Sometimes I use the Keys 4 Kids devotionals - but those are more b/c the boys enjoy them. I have to wade through them and glean as I go. ;) Science: I'm undecided on this one. We're doing the Periodic Table of the Elements right now, and that'll take us quite a way into the fall. I'd like to do at least a term of biology, and wildlife conservation/management next year. And, I'd really like to play w/ a new microcsope! Music: start piano lessons ~Language Arts: Writing: Classical Writing - Aesop (should have started that this year, I know. we didn't. we'll live.) Literature: Just keep reading all the wonderful things out there, discussing them, and then re-reading them b/c I could swear he didn't actually read them the first time. (Actually, I'm hoping that won't transfer into 5th, but it's been a theme in 4th... *sigh*) Â Is that everything? Did I forget something?

Mama Lynx Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 In Aesop the grammar is pretty light - you work on identifying the different parts of speech, and you learn diagramming. But since I know what's coming up in Homer, it doesn't bother me that Aesop is a bit light, especially as my Aesop child is doing Latin, as well. Â So I don't know ... it may be that the WT grammar and the CW grammar in Aesop will be comparable. Â Uh ... just to throw a monkey wrench into your works ... I'm considering maybe using WT for my next child instead of Aesop, and then moving him into Homer when we're done with WT. I haven't seen enough of WT to make that decision yet, but I'm considering it. From what i've seen, WT seems to be just as good as Aesop, but a bit more fun for the student. I need to look into it more, and to see if it would flow pretty seamlessly into Homer. I know, I just did not help you at all, lol. But either way I think you're just fine.
