Daily Lesson Plans
Please check this page at least weekly for a suggested schedule to help you find time to complete all of the reading assignments, workbook pages, projects, activities, supplemental materials, etc.
Please bring all materials to co-op each week (workbook, textbook, writing materials and folder).
We will be using the workbooks very consistently this year~ you may talk to others who took this course from me a few years ago, and they may tell you not to purchase the workbook, as it wasn't used much.
I found that my own children who took this course from me were not as prepared for writing lab reports or taking vocab quizzes and timed tests in highschool science as they could have been if we had used the workbook more. So, this year, we will focus a lot on the workbook!
