Closeacademy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Math: Singapore 3b/4a Language Arts: We will read Old Testament Bible Stories to study the parts of speech KISS Grammar Workbook 2 for grammar practice WISE Guide Spelling lists We will be learning about outlining as well as continuing with the progymnasmata. We will be writing direct declarative, slanted, indirect declarative, interrogative, and comparative narrations. Some of these will be written in the forms of letters. She will start learning cursive as well. History: We will take a look at housing and all the different types starting with lean-tos and finishing off with skyscrapers. We will also read Native American Tales and learn about the types of groups that live in different regions of our country. Science: We will work through My Pals are Here 4a/b. And continue to just have fun with kits and books as topics take our interest. We hope to build some small reproductions of some of the houses that we will study. Art: We will work with crayons, watercolor, and clay this year. We will also try our hands at felting, knitting and the recorder. Latin: Minimus/looking at Lively Latin for 2nd half of the year. We have a nice fun year planned that combines the academics of Classical with the beauty and calmness of Waldorf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 History: I'm pretty sure we'll do Winterpromise's American Story 1 (with my younger DS joining in) Math: Singapore 3A/B Science: I'm trying to decide between Noeo Chemistry and putting my own stuff together. I'm not sure I'll love Noeo, but I think having it laid out will keep us from neglecting science as we tend to do. LA: he just started FLL 3, so he'll be working on that until around mid-year next year. And I have my eye on SWB's new writing book. And I'm trying to decide whether or not to start Latin next year.
