2027 Curriculum & Subject Choices

                         2027 Curriculum and Subject Choices: 

12th and 8th Grade


Note: 

Each year, I give a detailed plan of our schedule and our chosen resources. 

Our 2020 schedule and resources can be found here, our schedule and resources from 2021 can be found here , our resources from 2022 can be found here, our resources for 2023 can be found here, our resources and curriculum choices for 2024 can be found here, our resources and curriculum choices for 2025 can be found here, and our resources and curriculum choices for 2026 can be found here. 

We begin each school year in January, but I choose resources and plan for the following year well in advance. So, I have made these choices to begin our 2027 year with an 12th and 8th grader in January. I will update with any changes or additions throughout 2027.

More to be Determined. 

I build Fun Facts and Read Alouds as I find resources over the months that correspond to any subject or topic that we're studying. This is what I currently have collected. 


Read Alouds:

Aside from Literature, the rest of our Read Aloud Loop will be built as I find resources that correspond to what we're studying and also as I determine which of the History and Science Readers that I gather will be used during Lessons and which will become Read Alouds.
