Fourth Grade:
I continue with the before mentioned curricula for reading (Abeka), Penmanship (Handwriting without Tears), and math (Math Lessons for a Living Education). I would like to add that last year I used Saxon for math...which I love; but felt would be too time consuming for our family this year. I feel I get the same quality in less time with Math Lessons for a Living Education...and it has more personality built into the curriculum.
We all do geography together. Science for them is Zoology 1. I am currently allowing them to listen in and participate minimally with the second graders as we do grammar until their books arrive. I have been watching and reading reviews about Writers in Residence and am excited about beginning this new grammar program with them.
Below you will see our schedule for the week. Please know that this is a map for us. It is a rare that we are able to follow it strictly, but it is always best to have a vision for each day.
