Our 7th Grade Curriculum | 2019-2020

I'm pretty sure our Eastern Hemisphere curriculum last year was our favorite to date.  We had a fantastic 6th grade year and are excited to jump back into another year of World History this year. 

Here's what we're doing for our 7^th Grade Curriculum...

• Bible: Bible Study Guide for All Ages, Children's Bible Field Guide
  
• Math: Math U See - Pre-Algebra
• Language Arts: Essentials in Writing - Level 8 
• Spelling: All About Spelling - Level 7
• Grammar: Grammar for the Well Trained Mind - Level 1
• Reading: Library Books & Sonlight Readers
• History: Sonlight Core G - World History 1
  
• Science: - Noeo Physics 2
• Language: Sign Language Made Simple
• PE: Golf, Swimming, Hiking
• Music: Piano Lessons    
• Typing: Typing Instructor
  
  
  
  
  
  Sonlight Core G - World History 1 - This year there is a lap book that goes along with our history core which  should be a fun way for the girls to get some hands one activities to instill what they learn. As always we can't wait to dive into this great list of books!
  
   
  Noeo Physics 2 - So many fun experiments to do in science this year!

  

  For English this year we are sticking with Essentials in Writing.  The girls did amazingly well last year after jumping ahead a year so we plan to continue moving forward.  We will also be doing our last year of spelling with All About Spelling 7, and then attempting to complete the Grammar for the Well Trained Mind book 1.  We started it last year and it got to be so advanced we decided to pause it up and pick it up in 7th grade. 
  

   

  

  I can never say enough good things about Math-U-See and this year we'll be doing Pre-Algebra.  The Mastery approach has been SO good for the girls and has really allowed them to feel confident moving forward with each thing we learn in Math.

   

  

  We are finally on our last year of Bible Study Guide for All Ages.  This will be our fourth year and after this year the girls will have studied the entire Bible.  They will have completed a timeline of the entire Bible as well as mapped where everything took place.  It's been a commitment but one I'll be happy to see them complete.  We plan to continue working on our ASL using a variety of sources as well as a formal typing program now that the girls have their own laptops.

  
  

  
  

   

   

   
  

First Day of 7th Grade | 2019-2020

We have Jr Highers in the house!!!  My beautiful girls are in 7th grade and we're excited to be starting school after a crazy busy summer of travel.  We took a family vacation to Maui, hubby and I went to Italy & Greece for 2 weeks while the girls took a trip to Seattle, I took a girls trip to Palm Springs, the girls went to jr high summer camp, and we took a family trip to New York with the girls for the first time.  It felt like we were gone as much as we were home but it was an amazing summer with tons of memories made.  The girls are already loving being involved in the Jr High youth group at church and had a fun activity every Wednesday that they enjoyed participating in when we weren't traveling. We're all ready and excited to settle into a bit of a routine now that school is starting again. 

Here's to an amazing 7th grade year.  I can't believe this is our 9th year homeschooling.  We're in the big leagues now and I have no doubt it will be another amazing year!
