I have been REALLY struggling over next year. I will have senior who cant write and a sophomore that wont get her history credits if I keep plugging along at our current pace. I have to be creative if I want to keep using my beloved SCM history guides without skipping anything. I have been searching all over for a different history plan, or trying to figure out how to race through them. Here is what I finally settled on. I think:
Senior:
IEW writing class
Worldviews Class
Economics – Uncle Eric books
Family (sophomore and 7th grader only, senior is on his own)
History: SCM Greece 2X week, SCM Early Modern 3x week
Bible: Lessons from SCM Greece
Geography: Visits To (cant remember which one)
Artist/Composer/Poet – SCM or Ambleside, depending on budget
Latin: Continuing with Latin
Hymns
Handicrafts: Inspirational Lettering class, drawing
Classical Astronomy (over the next 3 years)
Family Literature – still working on Lord of the Rings series.
10th grader
Math U See Pre Algebra
English: Analytical Grammar, Beyond the Book Report 3, written narrations, SW/ULW 3, Using some history reading towards literature.
Science: light this year, possibly Master Books Origins course
Self Knowledge – continue
More than a Carpenter and another apologetics or worldview type book
7th Grader
Math U See Epsilon
English: Analytical Grammar, written narrations, SW/ULW 2
Science: possibly Master Books General Science
Self Knowledge – Begin

We have 2 adorable tag alongs….
Some of my plans are still up in the air. But for now……
9th Grader LoF Algebra Notgrass US History and Lit Apologia Biology OT Survey (our pastor will teach this!!!!) Fix It Grammar Personal Growth — Be Strong, Young Man Continuing DuoLingo Norwegian
7Th Grader LoF Decimals and Percents and SCM Pet Store Math Notgrass From Adam to Us and Literature Apologia General Science Apologetics (taught by a pastor friend — Thank God for Co-ops!) Fix It Grammar Personal Growth — Be STrong, Young Man Latin (Probably Wheelock)
4th and 5th Grade LoF Notgrass Our Star Spangled Story God’s Design for Science Fix It Grammar Maybe IEW Art at the Co-op
Family Studies Not sure if we will have finished The Victor Journey Through the Bible, so maybe continue that, or find another Bible study
Read alouds: Countdown, Times of Trouble Stronger than Fire, The Spanish Bible Triumphs Over the Inquisition (that’s all I have decided on so far!)
Already a change. I think we will dig out Genesis through Deuteronomy and Ancient Egypt for this year and focus on African geography instead of me making a big geography year. I think it would keep things from getting too the same to combine history and geography. We will add in some missionary biographies and some great African animal book I have.
6 year old – Heart of Dakota Beyond, Queen Language Arts, Queen Printing, Masterbooks Math
11 year old – Masterbooks World Story (that’s the plan at least, if it doesn’t work, we will just read living books), Masterbooks Math, Queen Language Arts, Queen Cursive, maybe Apologia science if our co op doesn’t have any science classes
9th grader – Apologia Biology with our co op, To Every Nation (from Not Consumed), Jensen’s Grammar, CLE Math
11th grader – Masterbooks American History (if it’s too much, we will find some living books), CLE Home Economics, Jensen’s Punctuation, Personal Finance
And I will have my first graduate this fall!
