Oh ok. I'm not familiar with it. Then it looks great. I love Analytical Grammar. We'll be doing the 3rd session next year and it's been a great choice for us.

ENJOY!!

Are you going to incorporate Latin and Logic? I have never heard of Phonetic Zoo. What is that like?

[sandra in va]

Looks great! Only thought...what about a logic book? We are going to try Fallacy Detective next year with my 7th grader.

[Susan in SoCal]

Here's what I know for sure...

Latin - finish Latin Prep 3 & So You Want to Learn Latin 3
Greek - finish Elementary Greek 3, not sure where to go after that...
Math - continue 1965 Dolciani Algebra
Classical Writing - Beginning Poetry & Diogenes:Maxim
History/Lit/Bible - ??? Back to the Ancients - perhaps using portions of Omnibus I
Science - ???
Logic - Thinking Toolbox, Mindbenders

[sandra in va]

We use Phonetic Zoo, too. It is the spelling course offered by IEW.

I plan to add in some literature-some books from TWTM suggested reading list for the history we are studying,some Sonlight books from the second part of Core 6 and some books that I think dd should read because they will expand her mind (I hope) at least a little.

[Mama Lynx]

The Plan So Far:

Latin Prep 2/Lingua Latina

Elementary Greek 1/2

Classical Writing Homer B/Diogenes

History: Reading, early modern time period

Literature: the liad, perhaps the Odyssey, and literature that relates to early modern times. Maybe some Lightning Lit.

Science: Bite Size Physics ... other TBD. I'm not big on formal science, but we'll figure something out. Hopefully he'll do Lego League again, too.

Math: DH handles this, but I think he's going to use an older Dolciani algebra text for algebra I this year

I hope we'll get some computer programming in there, too. Scouts. Draw Squad. Piano lessons.

[Jenny in Atl]

So far...
Latin Prep 2 & Ecce or Cambridge
So You Really Want to Learn Spanish/RS/Entrevistas
So You Really Want to Learn Science 2

For coming 7th grader, ds11 (12 in June) for 2008-2009


Pre-Algebra/Life Science block - Regina Coeli Agnus Dei

Uses Lial's BCM/Apologia Gen. Science and Holt's texts. He's finishing the Singapore PM series and want to continue with NEM 1. He also uses ALEKS daily. He's math, language arts, Henle and history heavy at the moment.

Latin I - RCA Agnus Dei - continue with Henle and Lingua with me

Composition - RCA Agnus Dei - progymnasmata

Literature - RCA Agnus Dei - Meaning of Myths
Vocab - VFCR C

K12 World History B - this time I'll add books from SL 7

Looking for a Bible study to round up.

He's into scouts and guitar too.


Let's see how this goes. I almost put him in private school at the start of the year. Those pesky hormones acting out and threw me off the loop and didn't know how to handle. Completely took me by surprise. My once obedient, no question asked, smiling child got kidnapped!

[LilyK]

CW Diogenes (Maxim)
Abeka Science
Abeka Language (grammar only)
Abeka Spelling and Vocab

[Gamom3]

7th grade:

Grammar: Rod and Staff 6th grade
Writing: IEW
Literature: Lightning Literature 7
Spelling: Spelling Workout G
Latin: Latin for Children A

[LilyK]

I heard the Chalkdust pre-algebra has many errors in it. Has anyone else heard that?

[Kinsa]

Assuming that one day we will eventually finish our 6th grade curriculum...

Math: Saxon Math 8/7
Latin: Latina Christiana II
Greek: Hey, Andrew Greek book 6

I think that about covers the formal part of our homeschooling. I wouldn't include science except that after we move to a new state it will be required by law.

[Gamom3]

I heard the Chalkdust pre-algebra has many errors in it. Has anyone else heard that?

I will ask on the board.
Thanks for mentioning it!

Susan,


I am so with you on this one!!!

[JennW in SoCal]

hoping the heavens will open and a science program will appear

LOL, Gail!

My younger son is finishing up 7th, and this is what we've done:

Math: Life of Fred (started the algebra book this spring)

Logic: Fallacy Detective, Thinking Toolbox

Latin: Latin Prep 1

Literature and History: Nothing formal, really, but we've done quite a bit. We used the Boomerang program from BraveWriter, and also have lots of discussions about everything ds reads -- he is a voracious reader. I assign writing topics, work on spelling and grammar as needed. For history, we mostly focused on Asia this last year, reading mythology and epics from China, Japan and India, looking also at geography and culture. We basically are taking a break from the 4-year cycle for now.

Science: Again nothing formal. Nature journals, some reading and note taking from Usborne science encyclopedia. He's taken some field biology courses this last year, and was on a competitive robotics team.

He is in weekly theater classes (improv), was cast in 2 musical productions, and sings in the church choir.

I'm enjoying this bit of time with him before the formality of high school kicks in. I'm not worried about being able to ramp it up -- I'm half way through high school with his older brother, and feeling like I can handle any and all of it now!

Language: Rod & Staff English 7
