Could someone post a schedule for your sixth grader?

Here are my daughter’s term charts from 2012-2013 when she was in 6th grade.

I didn’t schedule her days so much as her weeks, but I did give her an example of how to do it.

HTH,

My 11YO is starting 6th grade this fall. We do a memory program similar to Classical Conversations, but aside from that our schedule is as follows:

Math – Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra (he started it back in the spring)

History – we’re doing SCM’s Ancient Egypt and all the associated readings; also one entry/week in his timeline book

Geography – DS will be finishing up Geography: A Literature Approach. He has one book left – Seabird.

Science – Noeo Physics II as a family

Language Arts – Bravewriter Arrow/Boomerang selections for dictation, which includes one book per month; continuing to read classic literature as a family at bedtime

Religion – Pflaum Gospel Weeklies, Great Adventure Kids, Young Peacemaker, continue with Scripture memory.

Foreign Language – Rosetta Stone Korean; I’m trying to work out some lessons with his grandmother, who is a native speaker

Music – Children’s Music Journey for piano, guitar lessons with DH

Misc. family studies – Rembrandt (artist study), Handel (composer study), Longfellow (poetry study), Comedy of Errors (Shakespeare), Jack’s Insects, sketching, Nature Friend Magazine (nature study), selected art projects

He’s also staring a Commonplace Book this year.

His day looks like this, with breaks in between each item:

morning chores, breakfast

Math (30 minutes)

Family subjects (about an hour)

Individual work (about an hour)

Independent readings (about thirty minutes)

Lunch (with a history reading)

Afternoons a free for him to finish up anything he has left, extra reading he needs to do, free time with his siblings, outdoor time.

My son is going into 6th. Here is what he does…

LA: Spelling Wisdom. 2x per week, IEW – 1 writing assignment per week, Our Mother Tongue – 3x per week

Math: LOF Decimals and Percents – 3x per week, supplemented as necessary from Strayer Upton tan book

Getting Started with Latin – 5 lessons per week

Science – reading the SCM recommended science living books with written narrations, nature docs, etc.

Geography – SCM Visits to Middle East – 3x per week

Bible – SCM Life in the Word – 3x per week

History – using Ancient Civs and the Bible, this varies greatly from week to week, lots of reading, book of centuries, mapping, unit projects, starting Story of the Greeks as well

God and the History of Art

With family – picture study, composer study, Who is God from Apologia, Laying Down the Rails, scripture memory

Currently reading through – Mcguffey’s fourth, Fallacy Detective, Created for Work, Heaven’s Heroes. – all 1 chapter per week

I can’t remember his whole lit list right now, but I remember some of it – Count of Monte Cristo, Swiss Family Robinson, hmm… drawing a blank. That’s all I can remember.

My future 6th grader will be doing the following:

MUS Gamma, begin Delta

SCM Greece study

Rod and Staff English 5

Finish Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh, Pippi Longstocking, Wind and the Willows, Bambi  (not sure what else he will read for literature).  We are currently reading The Secret Garden and Miss Hickory at bedtime.

Will begin a Book of Mottoes

106 Days of Creation, Christian Liberty 5 (1 day a week), and we may finish Jack’s Insects together

Short devotional 1 x a day

Possibly read Boyhood and Beyond for character/personal dev.

English from the Roots Up, OR, Word Roots independently

Begin Shakespeare 1 x a week with family

continue oral/written narrations

LOVES poetry, music, reading aloud, and would like to learn American Sign Language (we’ll see)

Life skills and sports will vary throughout the year and he will participate in Family Fine Arts and other recommended CM subjects.

I think that’s it.
