In the last few months I have been school planning like mad preparing for this upcoming school year that is now upon us. I'm super excited that I was able to customize Timberdoodle's 7th grade curriculum kit to use with D for her 8th grade year! I love how easy it was to customize the various subjects online when I ordered our kit.
- I took out the Mosdos Press Literature as we will be using a different literature program that I already own and D will be taking a World Literature class in our CoOp.
- I took out Math-U-See as we use Teaching Textbooks.
- I kept the Thinking Skills the same except I didn't need to purchase The Thinking Toolbox because I already own it.
- I changed the Science program from Science in the Atomic Age to Apologia's Exploring Creation with Physical Science. D will be using this program in CoOp this year.
- I kept the Art program but I did add the Chinese Brush Painting featured in their 8th grade kit because I think D will really enjoy it.
- While I kept Test Prep: Grade 7, I also added Test Prep: Grade 8. I thought it would be good for D to do both of these. D would be in 7th grade if she were in public school (her age); however, we have had her a grade up her whole life as she was advanced from the start. I like the idea of her working through both these books to make sure we cover all the bases.
- While I kept The Mystery of History Volume 1, I added the companion guide to have a more complete program.
- I changed the STEM components to Photography 4 Teens and Mini Bricks - The White House because I thought these would suit D's interests more.
And there you have it! I'm excited about this curriculum. Stay tuned to hear more about D's journey through 8th grade with more reviews! And be sure to check out Timberdoodle's 7th Grade curriculum kit for yourself.
