Do you have a master plan for what to study?I have seen lots of posts by people on forums trying to sort out their master plan keeping all of the kids coordinated. I have never had one. So here is my attempt.Handsome - he'll get his own plan since he is graduating next year. Home Literary Lessons with Lord of the Rings Hewitt World Lit. I Chalkdusk SAT prep local CC Physics Chemistry Japanese II and III maybe another language too - he likes them Girls. currently Beautiful is 6 and SweetPea is 2. 1 / 3 yo Finish SOTW 1 and move into SOTW 2 / earth science 2 / 4 yo SOTW 2 and 3 / chemisty 3 / 5 yo SOTW 3 and 4 / physics 4 / K Sonlight core 3 with books and activites to fold littlest in /animals and plants ( teaching to Beautiful and SweetPea joining) 5 / 1 Sonlight Core 4 with books and activites to fold littlest in / earth science 6 / 2 Sonlight Core 5 and SOTW 1 with AG / chemistry 7 / 3 Sonlight Core 6 (world history part 1) / SOTW 2 / physics 8 / 4 Sonlight Core 7 (world history part 2) / SOTW 3 with readers and resources saved from Sonlight core 3 / biology 9 / 5 American History of some sort and SOTW 4 with readers and resources saved from Sonlight core 4 / earth science 10 / 6 Maybe a World Cultures and Geography and Core 5 / chemistry 11 / 7 CC classes for Beautiful and Sonlight Core 6 (world history part 1) / physics 12 / 8 CC classes and Sonlight Core 7 (world history part 2) / maybe marine biology / 9 now SweetPea is the only at home and we'll do high school Am history / earth science This master plan is pretty scary. So when I am 54, my kids will have all left me. I think in 2022 when SweetPea graduates, I am going to sell the house, buy a boat and sail away with hubby. Alright, now I know why I have never thought this far ahead. YIKES! I do like the 4 year cycle for history and science. It gives structure and each time we can add more depth or focus. However, I want them to have a 2 year American history course, and I have always liked Core 5 so I will have to cut one of the history cycles short to be able to do this. I didn't plan to rely so much on Sonlight. I also know I won't stick to it as written. So do you have a master plan? What other subjects do you plan out? Alternate History Path since I have been looking at the Winterpromise catalog 1 / 3 yo Finish SOTW 1 and move into SOTW 2 2 / 4 yo SOTW 2 and 3 3 / 5 yo SOTW 3 and Winterpromise American Story 1 4 / K SOTW 4 and Winterpromise American Story 2 5 / 1 Sonlight Core 5 and maybe parts of Winterpromise Children Around the World 6 / 2 WP Quest for the Ancient World and SOTW 1 7 / 3 WP Quest for the Middle Ages and SOTW 2 8 / 4 WP Quest for Royals and Revolution and SOTW 3 9 / 5 American History and Civics of some sort and SOTW 4 10 / 6 Maybe a World Cultures and Geography class and Core 5 11 / 7 Ancient world History and Lit and QAW 12 / 8 LL from LOTR and QMA / 9 QRR / 10 Modern World History / 11 American History and Civics / 12 Ancient World History 6:24 PM - Saturday, March 31 - post comment
