Now I’m into unchartered territory. Next year, Camille will be starting fifth grade work. In the Well-Trained Mind, fifth grade is the start of “The Logic Stage.” For fifth grade, the recommendation is to start with logic puzzles in order to begin the process of learning logic.

we have used very little in the way of a formal program for art and music. We have visited many museums, talked about artists and read books. As for music, we listen to a lot of music, but not much in the way of classical. As we will be doing more with Camille next year, I think it might be nice to do more with Chloe. In addition, I’d like to study drawing, art and music myself.

For Camille, we used REAL Science for Grades 1 and 2, and Camille really enjoyed these texts. I think Chloe will probably be more interested in coloring books that Camille was, so I will pay attention to ordering coloring books before each topic (for as long as she remains interested. we’ll also order appropriate library books for the topics. If possible, I’d like to have butterflies and tadpoles, but only if we will have long enough periods at home to care for them.
