Okay! I think I'm done with figuring out what my Annette will use for her 3rd grade year. Here it goes. Ready???

For Reading she will use Total Language Plus & Progeny Press. I would have loved to continue with R&S Reading but since she scored such high grades on her assessment I feel that Rod & Staff would be lots of busy work for her. I'll update and add the ones she uses to this post. Her first one will be

1. Total Language Plus - Pippi Longstocking

Grammar- First Language Lessons 3 I like how it includes dictation, narration, dictionary skills, letter writing & grammar all in one book.

Writing- Writing With Ease this looks so non threating. It's scripted!!! Yahoo! I love how The Well Trained Mind is scripted. I don't have to worry about explaining or figuring out how to teach it.

Spelling- All About Spelling She will start with Level 1. She is a natural speller but when I called they recomended that she start with Level 1 to get the foundation of the phonograms down.

Math-Singapore 2A, 2B, Challenging Word Problems & 2B Intensive Math. I wrote a schedule HERE if you would like to see how we plan to fit all this in. I don't expect her to finish all of the Challenging Word Problems & Intensive Math.

Penmanship-New American Cursive supplemented by Queenhomeschool new Cursive progam.

Bible/History/Art/Read Alouds/Science/Music- My Father's World "Creation to the Greeks" & WinterPromise "Adventures in the Sky & Sea" I'm not sure if this will work, but I plan to use CtG for 9 weeks, S&S 9wks, CtG 9 wks, S&S 9 wks. We'll only get half way through each program this year. As we go through these I'll post what books we read as we go here on this thread. If we skip anything I don't want it listed as we did it.
