Grade 10 Curriculum Choices

August 12, 2020 By Annette1 9 Comments

Click here to go to my disclosure policy.

Grade 10 is just around the corner for my lad.  He still doesn’t know what he wants to do when he’s an adult ergo our choices are fairly eclectic.  We are working with the thought that he will go into one of the trades. He will then use his skills, and time to eventually pay for any changes in direction he wants to take in his vocation.    Today I will present you with his Grade 10 curriculum choices.

He Likes Math and Science

I have a complete love of science.  I find it so immensely interesting to see how the world around us works.  It’s rather amazing what God has done.  My son… has inherited that delight.  ๐Ÿ™‚   He shows it somewhat differently than me revelling in the intricacies rather than the overall picture. 

Ergo doing science at least once a year is rather important to my lad.   Last year he did Apologia’s Biology course, this year he’ll be doing Physical Science. 

We are hoping to get the review for Teaching Textbooks Geometry.  If we don’t get it he’ll be doing Algebra 2 from SchoolhouseTeachers.com.  Leaving us to pick up a different geometry course next semester.

Writing/Language Arts

The power in your hands (amazon affiliate link) was decided upon since the lad wants to learn how to write better essays.  The thought is that this will help him formulate his thoughts more clearly.  Since he doesn’t have to focus on grammar… hopefully he will enjoy this course. ๐Ÿ™‚

Foreign Language

Turns out this was a hard decision.  Will he continue in French or decide to take on Latin?  In the end, French won out.  He did the French course on SchoolhouseTeachers.com last year, and decided this year he’d rather do something laid out a bit differently.  I found two courses that I liked, and ultimately made the decision to do the SOS French 1 and 2 course.  It will come to us on USB.   It was almost $150 cheaper than the other course and I know from friends that this will do the job.  ๐Ÿ™‚ 

Public School Courses

In highschool he’ll be taking Computer Tech and Manufacturing.  Both of these courses really interested him when he took the tech overview course last year.  It, therefore, makes sense for him to pursue them.   We aren’t sure at his point what highschool will look like for him, he just knows he’ll be wearing a mask and not getting buddy-buddy with anyone. 

Geography

Geography was a good matter of discussion.  The lad really wants to understand world geography…. like where the countries are in the world.  At the same time, he really wants to study Canada and what makes up our land.   He finally decided that what he wants is simply to know country placement and he can either do that on his own or I can find a simple country placement program for him.   Our decision was this text Encounter Canada along with Rowan’s companion workbook.

So, you know my son’s Grade 10 curriculum choices, what choices are you making in your homeschool room? You can see what we did last year.ย  Do you let your children decide, make joint decisions, or do you make the choice for them?

    I can’t wait to see what you think of the Apologia Physical Science course. I really like the Apologia courses we have so far so I like knowing there are options as my kids get older.
