And last but not least....our 10th grade curriculum.
We let him play a big role in choices this year and here is what he is using.
His main curriculum core is My Father's World US History through 1877.
It is supposed to be for 11th grade, but he covered world history last year, and their world history covers 9th and 10th grades...we chose to go a different route though.
So, this curriculum covers, US History and Government this year and next year the other 1/2 of US History and Economics.
It also includes Bible, Language Arts, American Literature, and a great class on Developing a Christian Worldview. He is on week 4, and we are very impressed by the curriculum so far!
Along with that, he is using Life of Fred Trigonometry for math.
He just finished Apologia Biology using DIVE into Science. They have him finishing Biology then also cramming Fearfully and Wonderfully Made by Apologia (Their advanced Biology course) into 2 months. I chose that because he had no interest in the human body (GASP--with 2 medical parents.) but I wanted him to learn it and he was willing to do that route. Turns out, 1/2 way into the book, that he wants to study the body the whole year cause it's so interesting and he would like to learn more and not rush, so we are changing our plans from finishing it quickly and moving on to Chemistry, to taking the whole year to study Advanced Biology and taking the Biology CLEP. I would also like him to read through Where there Is No Doctor, and maybe go to work with Chris a few times to see how the medical field works. Don't get me wrong, he still has no interest in the medical field, but it will be beneficial for him all through life. Grin.

Hi Misti!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the posts on curriculum. Every now and then I will come and refresh my memory about the things you use :)
Am thinking of usinf the Easy Grammar stuff. You still like it?
What about the other stuff you used. All working out well? Coz sometimes we use stuff and then halfway through we realise it isn't working out the way it "should" :)
