Our 5th Grade Curriculum | 2017-2018

We're still loving Sonlight and are excited to jump into our second year of US History.  The girls loved all we learned about our nation and it's founders last year and are excited to be pickup up at the gold rush where we left off.  I can't wait to read all the amazing books we have for this year and continue to be so thankful that we've chosen this path of homeschooling for our family.

  Sonlight - History, Bible, and Literature for American History Pt 2.  This pile of books always makes me so happy!
  
  
  
   NOEO - Biology 2.  The girls are so excited about diving further into Biology this year.  I just ordered a new higher powered microscope since they were enjoying the little one so much.  I love that they have such an excitement about science!
  
  
  
   The girls rocked long division last year and we still absolutely love Math-U-See so this year it's fractions!  I have no doubt they'll do a great job and they're already loving the new fraction overlay kit.
  
  
  
  We're sticking with all the same language arts that we did last year.  All About Spelling has been a hit since Kinder so that stays.  The girls are getting so much better at summarizing and dictation we're continuing on with Writing with Ease and First Language Lessons has been great in helping them really cement their grammar.  This is likely our last year of handwriting and we're moving forward with another year of Essentials in Writing because they did really well with it last year and liked the format.
  
  
  
  For our electives this year we are continuing to do ASL, but with a new video curriculum as well as Bible, logic, piano, and art classes that we take as a co-op with other homeschool friends.
