Curriculum Plans for the 2016/2017 Year - Grade 6 and 8

Middle School is in full swing here at our house. My oldest is in fact getting prepared to start High School next year (2017). I can't believe it! This summer, my heart was somewhat heavy realizing that this year was his last VBS as a participant. Sigh....

My youngest will be starting grade 6.

So what are our choices for the upcoming year?

Both boys

Tapestry of Grace Year 3  - The Nineteenth Century : History, Geography, Literature, Worldview.
They will both be doing dialectic level.

Classic Science: Advanced Chemistry

Writing & Rhetoric - Book 5: Refutation and Confirmation: Writing

CTC Math - Math

Kumon Books - Pre-Algebra book 2 and Algebra book 1

Phonetic Zoo (Finish) : Spelling

Max Scholar: Spelling and vocabulary

Bible Road Trip: Bible

FrenchSmart - Grade 5: French

The History of Western Music and Great Artists Fine Art Pages: Music & Art




Grade 8:

The Art of Argument (finish) and The Discovery of Deduction: Logic

The Magic Lens - finish book I and start book II: Grammar

The Art of Poetry: Poetry

Grade 6:

Analytical Grammar: Grammar

Fallacy Detective: Logic


There you have it. We just started school back this week (2 days a week) after a 7-week break. I am trying to finish up our Writing & Rhetoric book 4 and Science 4 kids biology textbook. They are also working on Life of Fred, Pre-Algebra with Physics. We will debut our full swing schedule in September, though we will start our History in August.

His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...
