Product Description
The Age 9-11 curriculum constitutes one year of academic instruction in science, social studies, language arts, and math.
In the Age 9-11 curriculum, your child will explore all subject areas using a hands-on and investigative approach. Oftentimes, homeschoolers are only taught reading, writing, and math during the early years, but a truly comprehensive curriculum will expose them to science and social studies as well. These subjects can be the most engaging and exciting for a young child. The curriculum is also filled with quality literature to enjoy with your child.
Beginning at this level, we want students to begin taking more responsibility for formulating their own ideas and directing their day. For this reason, our 9-11 units are all student directed. The primary lesson plans are written for your child to read and follow. As a parent, you will still be actively involved. We provide parent overviews of each lesson that include descriptions of the activities and answer keys for you. There are still many activities and opportunities for you to work with your child.
Like previous levels of Moving Beyond the Page, the Age 9-11 curriculum covers the standards in science, social studies, and language arts. In language arts, this takes the form of literature units. This enables your child to learn all of his language arts content in an engaging format that centers around interesting stories and characters. We continue to tie in science and social studies, but instead of doing this within each lesson, we do it thematically.
The curriculum is built around four core concepts (Relationships, Diversity and Interdependence, Discovery and Survival, and Systems), each explored over a 9-week period. Each concept is broken down into three 3-week units, with each unit containing roughly 10 lessons and a final project. By following a daily lesson from each subject area, you can complete the curriculum in about a year.
