So, DJ and I sat down this week to discuss 10th grade curriculum choices. After some debating, and negotiating, we put in stone what he will be doing. FLVS offers certificate classes now, so he decided rather than dual enrollment, he would like to do one of the certificate classes. He decided on Digital Design. Plus he will be taking the 5 hour driving class for his permit, through FLVS. Here is what his year will look like. I have not figured out the daily schedule yet, that can wait.
Driving- FLVS
Digital Design- FLVS
Guitar- for anyone wondering FLVS does offer Guitar 1, but DJ decided to keep doing what he is already doing.
Algebra 1 and Business Math- We talked, and decided that we will continue to work on the Math U See Algebra 1 curriculum, through the Summer and 10th grade. I was given a Business Math curriculum, and it did not look too challenging. So, he will do both. We will worry about Geometry or Algebra 2 in 11th grade. That way he can continue to learn it at his pace, and be sure he understands it.
Comprehensive English and Vocabulary- sometimes called English2, LA grade 10 etc. We have a textbook and workbook, with a focus on writing.
Biology with Labs- In Florida there has to be a lab component to at least three of the four High School Sciences. We decided to use CK12 and online labs. I will list all the resources at the end of this post.
Civics and American Government- This was the hardest one for DJ. He had his heart on doing Greek Mythology. But, Civics and American Government is perfect for next year due to the upcoming presidential elections. I am hoping to get to some live town hall meetings, and other rallies. It will be fun. Eventually he gave in, and will do Greek Mythology the next year.
The only other issue was a second year of Japanese. He decided to wait and do that for 11th grade as well, and review all his info he is learning this year, from time to time. DJ's curriculum for next year, will not be expensive. That will be very nice.
