Our 2020-2021 Curriculum

History, Science, Art, Poetry & (some) Literature: Build Your Library, Grade 6 (shared family curriculum)


Literature, Spelling/Mechanics: Brave Writer Arrow & Boomerang single issues


Writing: Brave Writer Partnership Writing & Faltering Ownership


Math: Math Mammoth Blue Series (targeting specific areas based on placement tests)


Music: My kids are old enough now that they are most motivated by group lessons with our local “Rock School” so they will continue their instrumental and singing lessons there.

Science: In addition to Build Your Library, we will of course be doing regular nature study, which I learned from Ambleside Online.
