What We Did This Year ~ Curriculum Wise (Part 2)

Sorry I'm so late with getting to this..It has been a busy almost summer..But I'm going to post what Ari's done this past year..

Religion ~ The New St. Joseph Baltimore Catechism #1
A Year with God
Holy Heros Advent Adventures
P.A.C.E.

History ~ The Complete Book of World History - I liked this book, so did Ari, but there where a few parts where they were teaching about Evolution (how we came from apes)..We just by passed that, and did something different..Other than that it's a good book..

Grammar ~ CHC's Language of God Level E - This grammar book is great!! It goes in depth to other aspects of grammar like writing a story (part by part)..I think they have a L.O.G. Level F too..

Phys. Ed./Music/Art ~ All 3 of the kids did the same thing in these classes..

Science ~ This year with Science I had Ari & Jen in the same class..We started out with a workbook called "Life Science" but it was more labeling than anything and the girls didn't like it at all..So we wound up doing Spectrum Science 6 which was good..They read the paragraph and then they had questions to answer..At the end of each chapter there was a test..Then at the end of the book they had a more in-depth test..The only problem was that the book was done to fast.. Then we read about the Human Body (by Usbourne) & The Encyclopedia of Science (also by Usbourne)..We wound up the year with Animals of PA..The girls read about an animal and did a report on it..

Math ~ Started out with Spectrum Math..The girls didn't like that, so we switched back to Saxon..The girls both did Saxon 7/6

Reading~ Ari used CHC's Reading Comprehension - Stories of the Saints Vol. II..Then after that she just read books and did reports on them..

Spanish ~ Spanish Booklet Level 1 - Middle/High School
Spanish Dictionary for Beginners (by Usbourne)
Spanish Words & Phrases Flash Cards (again by Usbourne)

Spelling ~ CHC's My Catholic Speller Level E

Vocabulary ~ Wordly Wise Book 3..I don't know why the kids didn't like these..Ari only did 1 lesson in this book..

Ari also was in Youth Group, and did alot of things with them..She started babysitting..We went on some field trips..

For next year, I bought mostly Seton books for her to do..The only non Seton book is History which she'll be doing CHC's history..

Ari has done very well this year..She continues to excell in her classes..
