HOW is he in third grade? Sheesh, that happened quickly. Ah, well, that seems to be what they do.
So, Jacob's 3rd Grade year is shaping up thusly:
Math - MUS Gamma. I kind of hate this one, but it won't last forever. (Seriously, it's good. It's thorough, but it also seems to be the only one that causes stress and angst in my children. I don't get it, but I suspect it's a housekeeping issue with respect to multiple digit work. So far, though, we're three for three on that point. :sigh:)
Greek - Year One, Elementary Greek. He's rocking this.
Reading - (this list develops as we go)
Huckleberry Finn, The Doll People, Twenty-One Balloons, Calendar Quest. He reads a lot on his own - he's read a good many of the Boxcar Children, is re-reading the Harry Potter books, and informed me the other day the he really prefers mystery, fantasy, and action genres. Funny kiddo.
Writing - Imitations in Writing, Aesop.
History - Story of the World, Vol. 4 (Modern History)
Science - nature jourals, taking things apart, building things, setting things on fire - general curiosity, coupled with plenty of discussion and engagement, goes so far at this age.
Music - he'll start piano in January
Typing - Typing Instructor Deluxe
Kiss those babies!
