LITERATURE |
|
|
We suggest that middle-schoolers
read a minimum of six pieces of classic literature a year
(with a minimum of four different genres) and have
compiled lists of books to choose from. Take
note of the suggested reading level and the genre, read
the description, and have fun tailor-making your child's
literature program- or let him have fun making it!
*The Tanglewood 5th grade daily plans outline projects
and studies that can be used with any classic literature. |

SCIENCE & NATURE |
|
|
|
While nature study is still
a big part of the middle-schooler's education, the "hard
sciences" and the scientific method now move to the
forefront. *The Tanglewood 5th grade daily plans
will also provide guidelines for doing research and
presentations about six important ancient Greek
scientists. |
