Good morning! Today I’m sharing our 2016-2017 5th Grade homeschool curriculum with you. We’re making some changes around here this year, and I’ll tell you all about it in the video!
So to see what my 5th grader will be doing this year watch our 2016-2017 5th Grade Homeschool Curriculum video here!
5th Grade Curriculum:
- Art: World’s Greatest Artists 2 and Draw Write Now books
- Bible: Word of Life Quiet Time devotion
- English/Grammar: IEW Fix It Grammar
- History: Abeka 5th Grade
- Literature: Classical Literature Units
- Math: Math U See Epsilon
- Music: Choir (At our options program)
- P.E.: Swim Team, Inline Hockey, PE at Options
- Science: Abeka 5th Grade maybe a scientist unit if we can fit it in!
- Spelling: Spelling You See D
- Typing: Typing Web
- Writing: Institute for Excellence in Writing Group A Continuation
Options: We participate in a once a week options program through our local school district. They offer a variety of classes that help supplement our homeschooling. It also provides the kids with a fun day where they get to see their friends and participate in a classroom environment. Here is a list of her classes this year:
- PE
- Language Arts – We of course do this at home as well, but I’m finding that it’s a nice supplement to what we’re doing.
- Science – they get to do fun things like experiments, dissection, electronics, and more.
- Spanish
- Music – Choir and basic instruments.

Erica,
What item specifically did you order for IEW? As I am browsing IEW, there seems to be many options here to order from? Too confusing, but it seems to be taught on DVD? I would love to see you showcase this program to see what this program looks like.
Thanks,
Karen
I would love to know more info about IEW as well…:)
I have been following you for YEARS and really like how you share your homeschool days and curriculum. Personally, our curriculums have matched more and more :). Thanks for helping those in the community!
what items did you order from IEW Fix It Grammar ?
the website is confusing
I’m kind of curious what YOUR day looks like. You mention that you help your kids here and there, but I’m not sure what that looks like. Personally, I feel like I’m constantly teaching and I want to see if that’s normal or if I need to back off some. I do have 5 though, but only teaching 3 school age. Could you post your schedule please?
