6th grade

In 6th grade, we continue our early logic studies, as well as Latin.

Math:  Math-U-See
           Another great math resource that I have used as a supplement at times is the Life of Fred series.  These are written more in novel form and are great for kids that are more verbal and less math. 

Language: Spelling Workout--we finish spelling this year and move onto something different the next year

                  Analytical grammar--More on this curriculum coming later.  It is taught in 3 "seasons"-so it covers 3 years--6th, 7th, and 8th grades here. 
                  I am super excited about Analytical Grammar's new writing curriculum.  I haven't used it yet, but it sounds like what I'm looking for in these grades to replace Writing Strands.  It's called Beyond the Book Report and it works with Analytical Grammar.  We plan to use this with future 6th-8th graders
