Fortunately, we've been at it long enough that we've figured out what works on most subjects. Some subjects, boys have requested the next level, so no extra thought there.
This year is a tad bit different, we have a 7th grader. He'll be in high school before we know it. He'll be wanting to look at colleges and start applying before we know it. Need to start prepping now, so that the stress of high school level isn't as great.
Many blessings though, through this transition.
- Have heard many good things about Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) first hand. Some negative first hand too, but it wasn't a nasty type review, more of a "don't get why we need to add this sort of word so many times!" I can work with comments like that!!!!
- Rainbow Resource staff has been very helpful in exchanging items and making recommendations for a new foreign language.
- Thankful for many home school friends who've used specific subjects and can share insight as well as know our kids a bit and can weigh in with a valid opinion.
- Having a co-op to go to so I don't have to teach every subject. Both kids are getting science outside of the house as well as a fun class.
- both boys: Mystery of History Volume 3 (their mutual agreement that we needed to finish the series before doing something else), foreign language of some sort, physical education
- Thing One: Pre-Algebra (MUS), Apples Daily Spelling Drills, Daily Grams 7th grade, IEW B, Beyond Five in a Row, Science, Robotics, Life Skills, Electives (Boy Scout Merit Badges and Requirements)
- Thing Two: Delta (MUS), Spelling Workout, Daily Grams 4th grade, Five in a Row Volume 4, Science, Builders, Life Skills
