7th Grade Homeschool Curriculum Choices

Many of Zachary’s 7th grade subjects will be worked on independently, but history and read-alouds are areas he and Kaleb will be joining up together. We are cycling through history and will be starting up this year with world history. 

Zachary definitely needs a little (or a lot) of direction throughout the day. He never stops moving. Or talking. (grins) This year we will be focusing on responsibility, serving others, and following through on projects (even though we might not always enjoy what we’re doing). This will be the first year Zachary will use a full Student Planner, but he is actually looking forward to it (and I know I’ll have to keep up with him to write things down too). 

7th Grade Curriculum Choices

• History: World History 
• Math: Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra
• Science: The Rainbow program from Beginning Publishing (year 2)
• Language/Grammar: Growing with Grammar 8 
• Vocabulary: Word Up Vocabulary from Compass Classroom (not pictured)
• Spelling: All About Spelling Levels 6
• Writing: WriteShop Basic Set I
• Reading: (our reading list is coming soon)
• Bible: the last two books in the Who is God?  series 
• Planner: using this undated Student Planner

One subject I think Zachary will really enjoy this year is the Word Up Vocabulary program from Compass Classroom. McKenna absolutely loved it when she used it a few years ago (both funny and engaging), so I think it will be a great fit.

Planning Middle School

These free middle and high school planning printables have been such a huge help to us as we started mapping out Zachary’s middle and high school years. As much as I don’t want to think about the fact that he is growing up, it has helped me look at the bigger picture and make sure we aren’t missing anything overall.
