katilac Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 We are finishing up 3rd grade right now: History - SOTW ancients with activity guide Science - Singapore i-science, but I would recommend more of a living books approach (and you can use janice van cleave type books for experiments) Spelling - this comes easily, so she just has a list of words that she copies once a day Grammar - not much formal grammar in 3rd for us; a friend lent us GWG 3 so she just read over it Writing - I was total fail at copywork and dictation this year; she did write a lot of timeline pages for history and in her journal Latin - Latina Christianae II (she's been tagging along with big sis but they will need separate programs next year; LC II was hard for her) Memory work - the kids used to pick their own poems to memorize; this year I pick them and we all work on the same ones, much easier! poetry is the bulk of our memory work Math - - Singapore level 3 art, music, and etc are mostly a mix of things, not one curriculum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama2cntrykids Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 We're using: My Father's World--Adventures as the base. Then, I'm adding in Rod & Staff math (possibly with Singapore). MFW uses Usbourne books for the science portion. I'm still up in the air about the Language Arts part. I do have Primary Language Lessons AND FLL3 (just the TM), BUT I'm looking at the Queen's Language Arts too. For cursive, we're using Reason for Writing. First we'll use the Transitions book, then the next one. So, all that, with LOTS and LOTS of reading quality books added in. Oh, for music, he is involved in musicals for the Children's Theatre, but I will probably borrow books about different composers from the Library and also borrow some classical music. For art, I'm doing The Lamb's Book of Art. Oh, spelling! We're using Spelling Power, lol. OK, I think that's all folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s.z.ichigo Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Started third grade 7 weeks ago. sticking to the plan as I layed it out at the beginning of the "year". In order of appearance: Latin - Latin for children A History - History Odyssey, early modern Math - Saxon 3 Science - NOEO Science chemistry (awesome awesome science program) break time Latin again - Review the video, do worksheets, flash cards, etc. Latin is complicated stuff and this extra practice time is crucial, I've found. Especially for me! Spelling - Spelling Workout C Grammar - First language Lessons 3 (I love this program! I never had any sort of decent grammar in school and this is all new to me too. I can't imagine jumping into it without the benefit of the solid start of the first two FLL books.) Writing - Writing Strands 2 (Decided to do both 2 and 3 this year, since we didn't do "writing" last year, working at double speed) Handwriting - Nothing specific, just a cursive practice workbook. We're a little late getting into cursive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
