9th Grade Add-Ons and Deletes

Language Arts: I'm still looking for a spelling curriculum for Miss Green to review. I haven't had time to really research it yet though, so I'm putting it on hold. English is going great, though I need to add in the tests. She really likes tests, oddly enough.

History: She finally admitted she needs something more in depth than Mystery of History. I'm going to have her start History of the Ancient World. I think it will go well for her. 

Latin: I can't believe how well First Form Latin is going for all of them. I'm absolutely thrilled! 

Logic: She's enjoying Fallacy Detective, but again she wants tests to do. The Bluedorns offer a test, but it covers the whole book. I have recently discovered Quizlet and am loving it. Others have uploaded the lessons and you can print tests for each lesson there. I think this will work perfectly for her, especially since she likes to study on Quizlet. They even have an iOS app, so we have it on everyone's iPods. You don't have to be online to use it, as long as you load the lesson while online. Then you can use it anywhere. 

Everything else is going well. I think she's finally happy in her schooling, for the first time in, well forever. We have settled into a nice routine working with one another. It's nice to be able to have a less hostile relationship. I think a lot of this may stem from allowing her a little more choice in choosing curricula. I choose the subjects and then give her a variety of choices to work on that subject. It makes it easier for her to accept when I say we have to do something and why, since she has had a say in much of her schooling.
