3rd Grade Secular Homeschool Curriculum Choices

You guys.  I do not have a 3rd grader.  This is not possible!  I knew Baloo was getting older.  He’s just going to move out one of these days. And I knew Logi-Bear wasn’t a baby anymore.

But when did my little Royal grow up??  How can he be a THIRD grader?

He is turning into this amazing child and I just love watching him grow up and becoming himself more and more.  Going into 3rd grade, similar to Logi-Bear, we are focusing on Kindness and Experiences. We’re especially working on responsibility with Royal and the experiences are great for that.

Reading:
All About Reading Level 3
(We are almost done with this.  Royal is a good reader and I haven’t decided if we will buy Level 4 or not at this point)

Writing:
Brave Writer – Jot it Down
All About Spelling – level 1/2

Math:
Singapore Math
Times Tales
Prodigy
Multiplication.com

Science:
Real Science Odyssey – We haven’t decided which one to use yet.  Logi-Bear and Royal will be doing the same level though because science is one area that we combine multiple levels.  It allows me to get a lot more done. So whether we finish Bio 1 or move onto Chem 1, we will see…

History:
Like science, this is the same as with Logi-Bear.  We will be working through ancients with our own program. If you’d like updates on the program I’m putting together when it’s ready, you can sign up here. No weekly e-mails, just updates on the history stuff.

 

I’m hoping to delve more into Royal’s interests this year. He’s started dabbing in some acting at a local theater (of sorts..) and he’s interested in learning drums. So we’re investigating what it will take to continue with those.
