F: SOTW 3

 

30 minutes:

M-Th CW Aesop A

Friday: SOTW 3 Written Narration

 

30 minutes:

M-Th Prima Latina

F: SOTW 3 timeline & mapwork

 

30 min.

M-F Math

 

30 minutes:

M: Little Annie's Art Book of Etiquette & Good Manners

T:Creativity Express (Computer Art Program)

W: The Great Composers

Th: Music Ace

 

30 min.

7 days a week: free reading (library books that complement our other studies: nature, history, composers, artist, history & shakespeare as well as classic children's literature.)

 

10 minutes:

M-F: New American Cursive Book I

 

10 minutes:

M-F: reading poetry

 

Please tell me what you think, because I am ready to place orders! :)

We have not done much history together at all in the past, but she has listened to SOTW 1-3 on the audio CDs over and over. this comes to a little over 4 hours work. She is a very fast reader, and a very fast worker. I really think she will enjoy much of this.

 

Thanks,

Rhonda

30 minutes:

M-Th CW Aesop A

Friday: SOTW 3 Written Narration

 

 

I really like this! I think I may just steal it from you. And how clever of you to schedule 1/2 hour for map and timeline work, too.

 

You don't think she needs a formal spelling program, in addition to Aesop?

I don't know yet about the spelling. So far this entire year I'd give her a pretest on Monday and she'd spell every word right. She is a natural speller. I'm hoping that with lots of writing (copywork, dictation, narration) she will continue to do well. If not I'll add in something. I feel guilty for not adding in my R&S grammar too! :tongue_smilie: Again, if we need it I can add that in. If so I think it will look like: 20 min: Spelling 2x per week, grammar 2x per week.

 

Thanks,

Rhonda

Thanks for looking. I like it too, but you know how you have those doubts. :)
