9TH Grade Curriculum Choice

It’s hard to believe that my Bug is in High School. It’s been challenging but, worth it all homeschooling my special needs daughter. She has accomplished much more than anyone could have imagined. She is a beautiful young lady with a heart of gold.

She is nowhere near doing 9^th grade curriculum. I know that she works hard to do what she is doing. I’m real proud of her.

Bible

We read the Bible together at the start of our school day. 

We are also going to finish up The Gospels Drive thru History with Dave Stotts. You can see my review here.

She is finishing up Brave Girls Beautifully You by Jennifer Gerelds from last year.

Faithgirlz Whatever is Lovely by Allia Zobel when she finishes her other devotional. 

Math

Bug has surprised everyone in math. She can add up and count money extremely fast when she sales her products from her beehives. She is extremely good with multiplying numbers.

She will continue with Teaching Textbooks 5 and we will add on other items to help her out as needed. Teaching Textbooks has been a good fit for her as she likes the independence it gives her. She needs a lot of help in so many areas. This is one area that she can be independent with little help from me.

I let her do some concepts with a calculator after fighting it for a long time. Her Autism specialist recommended this also. She knows how to figure it out she just can’t think in some of the abstract concepts with math.

Reading

Pathway Readers

I add on other books throughout the year. I can never plan all her books as reading is difficult and I go with her interest at the time.

She doesn’t do spelling anymore.

History

 

Notgrass History she will do this with her brother.

From Adam to Us. She won’t do the Timeline, Map Book, Student Workbook, Lesson Review, Our Creative World and the readers like her brother. It would overwhelm her.

Geography

We are going to be notebooking with the 50 States and the Presidents

Science

She will be doing a separate science than her brother this year. This is the first time I’ve done this.

She has been wanting to learn more about geology. She will be doing The Mineral Book and the Geology Book by Master Books. I’ve picked up a nice rock tumbler and some other experiments along with a rock collection.
