Provide a thorough education at an enjoyable pace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nLanguage Arts<\/h3>\n
Students will continue a focus on English grammar by analyzing sentences. They will also progress in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and English usage guidelines using the literary passages presented in\u00a0Spelling Wisdom, Book 3<\/em>, and the guided discovery lessons in\u00a0Using Language Well, Book 3.<\/em>\u00a0The second half of these books is completed this year; the rest was covered in grade 7.<\/p>\nWritten narration will be assigned to encourage your student to continue to progress in organizing his thoughts on paper and applying guidelines he has learned about English grammar, usage, and mechanics. Rubrics and further instructions are provided in the\u00a0Using Language Well, Book 3, Teacher Guide & Answer Key.<\/em><\/p>\n(Students also have the option of including additional grammar studies using Analytical Grammar. The lessons in this book cover Units 18\u201335 of that course. Units 1\u201317 were covered in grade 6 and grade 7.)<\/p>\n
Latin<\/h3>\n
A gentle introduction to Latin is continued with lessons just twice a week. The last half of the book,\u00a0Getting Started with Latin<\/em>, is completed this year; the first half was covered in grade 7.<\/p>\nPersonal Development<\/h3>\n
Students will continue to read, narrate, and discuss\u00a0Self-Knowledge<\/em>\u00a0(Ourselves<\/em>, Book 1) by Charlotte Mason. We recommend the Youth Edition, which is divided into individual readings with side notes, points to narrate and discuss, and exam questions.<\/p>\nThe last half of the book is completed this year; the first half was covered in grade 8. Alternately, there is a compressed one-year reading schedule.<\/p>\n
Science<\/h3>\n
In grade 8, science lessons are more in-depth and should be completed individually. We recommend the use of a conversational textbook with a study of\u00a0Exploring Creation with Physical Science, 2nd edition<\/em>, this year. The lesson plans will reflect narration options, as well as include an optional living science book on Johannes Kepler, who is mentioned in the course of study.\u00a0Journaling a Year in Nature<\/em>\u00a0is recommended for nature study.<\/p>\nMath<\/h3>\n
