Howdy All:
keeping DD home next year after three years in a classical hybrid. it will be third grade. we have left because we want more Charlotte Mason and science, and a lot less made-up phonics. (our older kids are doing well at the school, so we’re open to going up after phonics let’s up in fifth grade.). What texts are Charlotte Mason folks doing for Third Grade? we are probably going to read Tolkien at bedtime and Alcott at lunch, a long with French lessons from Memoria Press. We will also contine with Saxon 5/4 and do science based on daily activities and library trips. What else do we need? math facts practice? handwriting? DD has already finished most of the language arts, science, and math shed be expected to do for next year, so we want to broaden and enrich our time with violin/orchestra and ceccetti ballet, first year.
