My youngest will be in fifth grade this coming school year, 2020-2021. Here is what I have set aside for her school work:
Bible – GraceLink.net – Primary
We also read Young Disciple Magazine for our family devotional.
Stones by the river bank in the Greenbrier section of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Language Arts – Wordly Wise 3000, Book 4-5 (vocabulary);
Logic of English Essentials, Level A; this represents mostly spelling, but there are grammar and vocabulary concepts, as well as punctuation rules being taught here. We hope to move from level A to level B and finish all lessons. We will see what kind of speed we can adopt. Spelling is a growth area for this student and we just take it at her pace.
Spelling Bee (word list and participation in our “school” level bee at a local homeschool group);
Writing with Ease (Book 3);
Rod and Staff Grammar;
Mensa for Kids Reading List for grades 4th-6th (so not the entire list, continuing on it and pacing ourselves through it)
