The Other Four Children's Curriculum

Julie:  10th Grade

• Saxon Algebra 2
• Notgrass World History (supplemented with selected books from Sonlight Cores 200 and 300)
• Apologia Chemistry
• Music Appreciation (Bob Jones)
• Logic
• The Elegant Essay (IEW)
• Wordly Wise
• Daily Grams 
• Home Economics
• Rosetta Stone Spanish, Year 1

I scheduled Julie's writing course to be worked 3-4 days a week for the school year.  Chemistry and Algebra 2 are taking the longest to complete each day.  This is Julie's first year to use Notgrass (and therefore her first year to have a history textbook), and she is liking it.  This is my first time to use an music appreciation course.  Olivia completed an art instruction and appreciation course when she was in the 10th grade.  Since I now have both courses, I will let Clay look them both over and choose which one he wants to do when he is in the 10th grade.

Clay:  8th Grade

• Apologia Physical Science

Leah:  3rd Grade

• Horizons Math Grade 3
• Sonlight Science Core B
• Logic
• Sonlight Core C (language arts and world history, year 2)
• Wordly Wise
• Daily Grams

Sam:  1st Grade

• Horizons Math Grade 1
• Sonlight Science Core B
• Logic
• Sonlight Core A (language arts and general history)

For all of the children, I use products sold by The Crictical Thinking Company and Mindware as their Logic curriculum.  Both companies sell a variety of workbooks and hands on type puzzles than challenge the children.

Also for all of the children we are continuing to use The Bible Study Guide For All Ages 4 days each week for our Bible instruction.  I am also adding a new study called Our Spiritual Heritage.  I plan to conduct lessons from this study 5 days a week.  I only bought workbooks for Leah and Sam, but all of my children will benefit from the lessons centered around God's wisdom, as well as the weekly chronological review of Bible characters and events.
